"I don t know anyone happier. I don t know anyone who has a better life or had a better life. I look at other people and I think they look happy. But not as happy as me " Winfrey told Vogue magazine.
When she gets down time Winfrey loves nothing more than simply doing "nothing" on her California estate reports femalefirst.co.uk.
She said: "I can go weeks and never turn on a television. I ve gone a summer not having it on. No my guilty pleasure is I do nothing.
"I live in a very beautiful space that I created and every time I leave home and I m driving out the back with the pond and the ducks and I m looking at the grass and I see the house on the hill I have this moment where I think about when Dorothy says in The Wizard of Oz I learnt I didn t have to look further than my own back yard. Every time I think of that.
"Most people don t even know what makes them happy. But I can just sit on my porch and I ll start reading a book and then realise Okay I m not reading any more. I can just take it all in. I can just be."
