Oprah Winfrey

Oprah had a hard time growing up. The media mogul, who became a victim of rape and child abuse, attended several high schools while growing up. She graduated from East High School in Nashville, Tenessee, where she was part of the Honour Society, National Forensic League and the student government.

She revealed on one of her shows on TV that she was voted most popular during the first year of school.
