(June 23, 2009) - The Chicago Sun-Times reports media mogul Oprah Winfrey is once again footing the bill for her entire Harpo staff and their families, this time on a luxe Mediterranean cruise.
Winfrey and staff left Chicago on Saturday and sailed to Spain, Italy, Greece, Malta and Turkey.
The uber-wealthy host covered the cost of transportation, food, drinks and activities at each port stop, the newspaper’s Oprah blog said.
Chicago-based Best Travel estimates that such a trip costs a whopping $5,400 per person.
In 2005, Winfrey surprised her staff with an all-expense-paid voyage to Hawaii to cap off her “Wildest Dreams” season.
