'She was SHOOK': Oprah Winfrey flustered as fan says he can't afford a $100 Christmas gift
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Oprah Winfrey stunned fans in a viral Tiktok video when she appeared shocked that a man had a $100 price limit on a Christmas gift for his mother. Colin Drummond had told the former talk show star that he was looking for a gift for his sick mother. In reply, Winfrey, 68, recommended that Drummond buy a jewelry box that she included on her annual holiday gift list.
"You know, a wonderful thing is that jewelry box that I had on 'Favorite Things'," Winfrey suggested. "That’s too expensive for me," he responded before Winfrey fired back. "No, it’s not. It’s really not," she replied. "It’s, like, a 100 or some dollars."

The content creator then retorted that he hoped to buy something less expensive and within his budget. The TV celebrity responded, "Lower than $100," and sounded surprised he wouldn't spend $100 on his mother before Drummond went on to say that his mother appreciated sentimental presents. "Uhh. OK, then this is the perfect gift for your mom," countered Winfrey. "You do a list of your top 10 reasons why you love her, and you make a beautiful card, and it’s your top 10."

The viral video has received close to 1 million views on TikTok, but social media users had differing opinions about the video. "A billionaire doesn't understand how it is for the rest of us," one said, accusing Winfrey of being "out of touch." "The judgement when he said $100 was too expensive," one person said. "She said oh you poor? I got a better gift for you," a third added. "She was SHOOK that $100 was too expensive. 'Do they even make things that cost less than $100'," said another.
Meanwhile, others concurred that $100 wasn't excessively expensive for a mother in need, calling her second option "incredibly thoughtful." Another fan shared the sentiment adding, "Bless her heart. she was trying to help. I love both her suggestions. There was no judgement in her tone or reaction. love her sentimental gift idea." "She’s thinking on her feet here, not prepared for this question, so, I think she did alright," one person wrote.
Winfrey, one of America's richest self-made women, is estimated to have a net worth of $300 million and owns real estate valued at $127 million. A recent online post showed the talk show host and her Thanksgiving guests seated at an 18-person table in the dining room of her 23,000-square-foot California estate, which was decorated with candles and flowers. The post also showed off her opulent lifestyle.
