ST JOHN’S, Antigua, March 31, 2010 – Renowned media mogul Oprah Winfrey has selected Antigua as her pick for the number one billionaire’s playground.
According to the list compiled by Forbes.com Winfrey, who has a home in Antigua, said that when she wants crystal-clear Caribbean water and perfect palm trees, she returns to her “playground on Antigua”.
This testimonial is significant since Winfrey owns a 60-acre home in Maui and a 42-acre estate in Montecito, California.
The Forbes list was also featured on the homepage of Yahoo.com, one of the most popular online search engines.
“It is fantastic that Antigua can get this kind of endorsement by a celebrity of Oprah Winfrey’s standing,” said Kimberley Bowers, Marketing Manager at the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority.
“Her recommendations are taken very seriously by her numerous fans all over the world. This is great for Antigua’s tourism and we must capitalize on it whenever possible.”
Other celebrities with homes in Antigua include musician Eric Clapton, actor Timothy Dalton, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Burlesconi and clothing designer Giorgio Armani among others.
