01:13 when a woman accosted. Winfrey purchased a plane for increased privacy and comfort.
01:18 She once purchased a Bombardier Global Express XRS valued at approximately $42 million.

03:57 and has called the U.S. wealth gap a national emergency.
04:00 "I wanted an exploration boat," he says. Half a century later, Dalio and his converted lift ship,
