Oprah Winfrey Loses $58M As Weight Watchers Stock Plummets $435 Million Since June

Oprah Winfrey’s ownership stake in WW International, formerly known as Weight Watchers, has dropped $435.8 million in value since June of 2018, according to a Tuesday-published Bloomberg report.

Bloomberg reported:

On Tuesday, Weight Watchers described its first quarter of 2019 as a “soft start” relative to 2018, adding that its “Winter Campaign did not recruit as expected.”

Mindy Grossman, Weight Watchers’ president and CEO, promised that Winfrey “will play a central role in” forthcoming TV and digital marketing materials.

Weight Watchers invites potential clients to “Live your life like Oprah” via its online marketing.

Forbes estimates Winfrey net worth at approximately $2.5 billion.

Winfrey joined Weight Watchers in October of 2015 as an adviser on Weight Watchers’ board following her purchase of a 10 percent ownership stake in the company. At the time, Weight Watchers’ stock doubled in value following Winfrey’s announcement.
