This is only accurate if a) Wealth were truly zero sum; and b) Oprah would go to entrepreneurs trying to generate wealth and file legal injunctions against them, or perhaps burn down their businesses.

A better example would perhaps be Microsoft's monopoly of the browser market last decade based upon the fact that 99% of the world's computers ran Windows. I believe the courts concluded they were, in fact, the bad guys, and forced them to change their policies.
