prah Winfrey is famously generous - and it
turns out, perhaps even more so with family. She reportedly dropped $490,000 on
a home in Wisconsin for her half-sister Patricia Lofton, whom she met in 2010.
Lofton was born a few years after Winfrey to
Winfrey's mother, Vernita Lee, but was put into foster care as an infant. At
that point, Winfrey was already living with her father. Lofton was later
adopted.
According to property records, Winfrey bought
the home in late 2012, just two years after getting to know Lofton. A Winfrey
spokeswoman was quoted by DailyMail.com saying, "Patricia's greatest dream
was to go to college and become a social worker. Oprah wants to support that
dream."
Lofton has a dream home to return to at the
end of a long day. A 2011 report by TMZ stated that Lofton was living in a
four-bed, one-bath home measuring 1,070 square feet. Lofton's new home, care of
Winfrey, is quite the upgrade. The house sits on nearly a third of an acre with
four bedrooms and 2.5 baths.
Winfrey may feel comfortable visiting
Lofton's new place; according to the listing, the home is private and partially
wooded.
