Oprah Winfrey is selling her prized possesion and baby, Harpo Studios in Chicago.
“We have entered into a purchasing agreement with Sterling Bay for the four-building Harpo Studios campus in Chicago’s West Loop,” Harpo told Crain’s Chicago Business in a statement. “We expect the transaction to be closed in 30 days. The property will be leased back to Harpo for two years and the studio will continue to produce programming for OWN.”
Winfrey filmed “The Oprah Winfrey Show” at Harpo Studios from 1990 to 2011, before partnering with Discovery Networks to launch OWN Network. Currently, about 200 employees work on the 3.5 acre campus.
