An old video of Oprah Winfrey giving Christmas gift advice is raising eyebrows all over TikTok.

Winfrey is of course famous for her yearly "Oprah's Favorite Things" list released each holiday season, a tradition that began on her long-running talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show and now appears on her website "Oprah Daily."

The list grew famous for Oprah's frequent inclusion of big-ticket items, which one year included a Pontiac G6 gifted to every member of her audience, spawning the "You get a car and you get a car!" catchphrase that remains a popular meme to this day.

So perhaps it's unsurprising that Winfrey's idea of an affordable gift is... well, not affordable at all for a lot of people, including a person who filmed Winfrey recommending a gift for his mother several years ago.

Winfrey's surprised reaction to the man filming telling her that a jewelry box costing "a hundred and some dollars" was too expensive has people accusing her of being out-of-touch.

See the video below.

In the video clip, the man filming told Oprah his mother was "not doing well" and that he wanted to give her something special.

Winfrey told the man:

"A wonderful thing is that jewelry box I had on 'favorite things.'"

When the man countered it was too expensive for him, Winfrey replied:

"It's not. It's really not. It's like a hundred and some dollars."

When the man again told Winfrey the jewelry box was over his budget, she looked incredulous and responded:

"Lower than $100?!"

Yes, Oprah, some of us need gifts "lower than $100." We're not all billionaire media moguls!

On TikTok, Winfrey's reaction didn't go over very well with many commenters.

To her credit, Winfrey did come up with a very sweet alternate idea for the man that cost nothing at all--a "list of the top 10 reasons you love her" along with a handmade card. What mom wouldn't love that?

She may be a billionaire, but at least Winfrey still has a heart.

Erin Brockovich Perfectly Lays Out Why AI Data Centers Are 'Pushing People Too Far' In Viral Clip

Self-described "people advocate"—a term she prefers over environmental activist or consumer advocate—Erin Brockovich recently sat down with comedian Theo Von on his podcast This Past Weekend. They spoke about her now adult children, the court case and resulting film that made Brockovich a household name, and what she's done since.

About a third of the way into the hour and a half long sit down, Von noted that what made him want to connect with Brockovich was an article she wrote for her Substack, The Brockovich Report, titled, "If Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?" which launched her mapping initiative posted on the website Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting.

Gay Conservative German Politician Resigns After Welcoming Child Via Surrogacy Despite Publicly Opposing It

German conservative Jens Spahn resigned from his position as the leader of the joint CDU/CSU (Union) parliamentary group in the 21st Bundestag after it emerged he and his husband welcomed a child via surrogacy despite openly opposing it.

Per the 1990 Embryo Protection Act, surrogacy remains illegal in Germany, a position long supported by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which reaffirmed its opposition earlier this year. While German law allows parents to raise children born through surrogacy abroad, arranging a surrogate within Germany is punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine.

Trump's Attempt To Hide Disastrous DC Reflecting Pool From View During Repairs Goes Hilariously Awry

The Trump administration's attempt to cover up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as it undergoes repairs following alleged "vandalism" backfired when high winds revealed the sad sight of it, now drained and surrounded by a fence with a tarp on it.

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.
