Winfrey also owns a beautiful apartment in Chicago, a big house in New Jersey, an estate in Florida, a ski house in Colorado, a house in Douglasville, Georgia, and land on Maui, Hawaii and Antigua. However, currently she lives on “The Promised Land” where she has 14 bathrooms and 10 exquisite fireplaces, and a master rosarian to tend her over 600 rose bushes. On The Nate Berkus Show Oprah stated, “I particularly love roses because they represent, I think, from the Spirit Realm what we really are. […] They bring the fragrance from the Spirit World. That’s what I believe.”
During the tour Oprah explained, in her typical spiritually-opulent way, that she named her 45-acre estate “The Promised Land” because “Dr. King said he would not get to the promised land but one day we might. And so that’s why I called it that… because I think it’s a fulfillment of the promise that Dr. King spoke of.”
