Celebrity Birthdays: Happy Birthday, Oprah!

Justin Timberlake, J. Cole and Rakim also celebrate.

Oprah Winfrey - It’s no wonder why the billionaire mogul has a reputation for giving as much as she gets. This summer, she auctioned off art, antiques, furniture and more personal items from her four homes, including an 18th century Louis XVI chest valued between $30,000 and $50,000. Proceeds benefited graduates of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa. (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
