When it comes to **Oprah Winfrey,** there's no act of kindness too big or too small.

The media queen's latest good deed was as simple as buying a college student a new iPhone.

**Oprah** was leaving Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia [where she had just donated $13 million to the school](https://celebritykind.ghost.io/content/files/2026/09/oprah-donates-13-million-morehouse-college-2.html), when she was stopped by two guys - Zachariah and Olufemi, for a selfie.

**Oprah** can be heard saying *"hey, that's me. That's me in your cracked phone!"*

The interaction, which has been viewed over 2 million times on Twitter, didn't end there.

Olufemi woke up the next morning to find a message from Oprah's team asking how they could get a new phone to him.

And sure enough, within a few days, he received a brand new iPhone 11 with a note from Ms Winfrey herself saying: *"Dear Olufemi, We can't have you out here viewing the world thru a cracked screen or a cracked cover. The new camera you're gonna love for sure!"*
