Oprah Winfrey is Weight Watchers' best paid, most absent board member
New York
OPRAH Winfrey collected the biggest compensation among the directors of Weight Watchers International Inc last year, despite skipping several board gatherings and not attending the company's annual meeting.
Winfrey, who agreed in 2015 to buy a stake in the weight-loss company and join its board, received US$264,753 for her services last year, according to a regulatory filing on Monday. That's more than twice the amount given to the second-highest- paid director, Denis Kelly.
