Oprah Winfrey's Property in Maui: Details, Photos, History

Oprah Winfrey has been a part-time resident of the Hawaiian island of Maui since 2004 when she purchased around 100 acres in its upcountry region. 

Since then, she's amassed approximately 1,000 acres of land across the island, local news outlet KITV4 reported, and appears to have developed a strong connection to Maui.

"Y'all should come here," Winfrey said on Instagram in January 2023. "Hashtag Hawaii, state of health. That's the aloha spirit."

But in the midst of the Maui wildfires in August that devastated areas like the historical town of Lāhainā and killed upwards of 115 people, Winfrey's relationship to Hawaii has been reexamined by some critics.
