How much did Oprah pay H and M for the interview?

[3Hotdogs]

I read that commercials during the broadcast were expensive.

[samnsara]

1. nothing.. that was verified right at the beginning

[3Hotdogs]

2. Wow.

I'd fire my agent if I were them.

[wcast]

5. They didn't do it for a paycheck.

3. From the top of the broadcast....

Oprah confirmed with M, that they were not paid for their participation.

4. You obviously didn't watch the interview. nt

6. Nothing - it was done to create buzz for their streaming and podcast businesses

Harry & Meghan’s Big Hollywood Deals Helped Them Weather the Family Chaos

“Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope,” the couple said in a statement at the time of the announcement, per the New York Times. “As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us.” They added that Netflix’s “unprecedented reach will help us share impactful content that unlocks action.” Netflix currently houses more than 200 million global subscribers.

Though it remains unconfirmed, estimates and reports peg the value of the deal at north of $100 million.

...

In December, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also entered a partnership with Spotify through their production company, Archewell Audio. The pair will host and produce podcasts in a deal estimated to be worth around $25 million. Harry and Meghan hope to promote “different perspectives” and feature interviews with “amazing people.” Their first episode, a 2020 holiday special, arrived on the service Dec. 29 and featured famous guest appearances from Sir Elton John, James Corden, tennis champion Naomi Osaka, author Deepak Chopra, spoken word performer George the Poet, filmmaker Tyler Perry, and British activist Christina Adane.

7. As an open an wound as Racism is..

Very much doubt it was done to create 'buzz'...

11. +1

12. There is good money to be made in Racism

13. You really have it out for the two of them for some reason

In post after post in thread after thread, with no mention of the real and systemic racism Markle and her child faced, and still do face.

Just handwaving the chimp pic when little Archie was born, for instance.

15. It's an interesting story of how LA media trash meets London Royal trash.

[Ilsa]

20. I wonder how much H&M have to pay for security?

That was their original objective, per Harry. The corpus of what Diana left him may not generate enough income.

[Klaralven]

22. Not much while they are in Montecito

Per Variety, Meghan and Harry's new home cost $14.65 million, and "the buyers secured a $9.5 million mortgage to acquire the 7.4-acre compound, which is securely tucked away on a private, gated street."

Given the number of high-worth residents, protection is pretty good.

8. mean and uninformed

I care little for royalty, but I wish them well. An unpaid interview to highlight the rampant racism even among the distinguished should be noted and understood.

[tymorial]

9. Nothing and why do you care anyway?

[Karma13612]

10. I thought Megan

Said at the start of the show that they were not paid.

I could be wrong, but I thought that was established up front.

[Tarc]

14. How much did Charles pay you for this post?

[appalachiablue]

21. ...

[SKKY]

16. I read somewhere, or heard somewhere that CBS paid them 7 Million...

...and if it were 70 Million, I'd still have no problem with it.

[eShirl]

18. You read or heard wrong.

[SKKY]

19. Ok, my bad. CBS paid 7 - 9 million to air it...

...so, I'm guessing Oprah's company got paid. Although, I find it difficult Harry or Megan didn't get anything, but in all likelihood, the publicity they have garnered will be worth way, way more than that.

17. Nothing.
