Oprah Winfrey responded Monday to an Instagram user who called out the billionaire mogul for not paying off student loans after her commencement speech at Colorado College, in an apparent comparison to investor Robert Smith's generous gesture at Morehouse College.
Billionaire Robert F. Smith surprised the Morehouse College 2019 graduating class by helping erase their student loan debt. The gift was even a surprise to the school's president. Mark Strassmann explains.
“My family is going to create a grant to eliminate your student loans,” the billionaire investor told the school’s 396 graduating seniors while delivering the 2019 commencement address -- a gift worth an estimated $40 million.
