Oprah Winfrey's tweet can surely earn bread as the media mogul made some serious cash from just one post!

According to Market Watch, 'Journey to Beloved' writer racked in a whopping 12 million dollar for merely writing about how the 61-year-old media proprietor was able to lose weight and still eat bread, reports E! Online.

Winfrey's post, included a 30-second video clip, which was to promote her journey with Weight Watchers, and captioned it, "Eat bread. Lose weight. Whaaatttt? #ComeJoinMe."

An hour after her story was sent into the Twitterverse, Weight Watchers' shares climbed slightly over two dollar a share and since Winfrey owns roughly six million shares, the surge in share prices made the celeb 12 million dollar just like that.
