Oprah Winfrey

Plan to see Oprah Winfrey, whose show "Oprah's 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus" is Jan. 4 at the BB&T Center in Sunrise.

Pre-register for tickets by Sept. 12. The Florida show kicks off nine shows on her U.S. tour and is the only one in the Sunshine State. The other closest cities to Florida are Charlotte, North Carolina, on Jan. 18 and Atlanta on Jan. 25.

"Each city is going to feature a different lineup of celebrity guests and some of the biggest names in wellness, people from all walks of life who took charge of their lives and created lasting change," Winfrey said in a video promoting the tour.

Winfrey, 65, is best known for her talk show that ran 25 years, from 1986 to 2011. "The Oprah Winfrey Show" is the highest-rated program of its kind in history. Her net worth is nearly $3 billion.
