TODAY (OCT. 18): Oprah Gets Free Pumps For Promo

THE FACTS:
• After receiving a big boost in sales thanks to her appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Jerry Seinfeld’s wife, Jessica, sent her $20,000 worth of shoes.

THE SPIN:
It really pays to be famous, because once you reach a certain level of stardom, you usually don’t have to pay for anything anymore. Oddly enough, that’s typically around the time your fame produces enough wealth to where you can buy almost anything you want.

And who has more fame and wealth than Oprah? Doesn’t matter. When Oprah is kind to you, you find a way to be even kinder towards her.

After promoting her new cookbook, Deceptively Delicious on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Jessica Seinfeld saw her book become a national best-seller in a week. That’s no shocker. Oprah could tell everyone to buy expired meat and people would fry it without hesitation.

So how did Jessica thank Oprah? She sent the billionaire 21 pairs of shoes, mostly Christian Louboutin, totaling $20,000.

Although she probably spends more than that on her dog’s feet, Oprah showed off her new shoes on her show, garnering even more press to Jessica and her book.

That’s great, buy a billionaire shoes and make yourself a couple of million. I really need to hustle up some money; get Oprah a fake Gucci wallet. That has to at least go for her mumbling the link to my blog, right?

YOUR SPIN: If YOU got on Oprah, what would you send to thank her?
