Oprah, aka the Queen of Everything, revealed to British Vogue that she just recently googled herself for the first time and she learned an important thing about herself. 

"I googled myself the other day for the first time. I was like, I am so impressed with myself," she said laughing while talking to editor-in-chief Edward Enninful. "This is what I didn’t know: that I was the first African-American self-made billionaire. Did not know that." But Queen O says it so matter-of-factly that you’d think she got a gold star on her homework instead of this amazing achievement.

She also proudly acknowledged that she’s donated more to charity in the 20th century than any other African-American by saying “I said, this is really good!"

We love Oprah and how cute she is about googling herself. 

Here’s a list of other celebs who google themselves and what they found. 

Emma Stone

The actress admitting to having googled herself in a 2014 cover story for Vogue. She says she doesn’t usually like what she finds and has seen comments calling her a “bland, basic bitch”, which she luckily found hilarious and began referring to herself as such at dinner with the interviewer.

Kim Kardashian West

Kim K was spotted checking Google Alerts about herself back in 2012. Which was pretty cheeky considering she mocked her sister, Kourtney, for doing the same thing the year before.

Selena Gomez

The actress and singer says she loves to google herself to see what she wore previously. She says that it “kind of sucks when you get it wrong”, but it’s nice to have instant access to all your previous looks. Plus, she cringes about certain mistakes.

Sandra Bullock

She doesn’t normally google herself, but when she does, she reads it all. She told People back in 2014 that she tried to get an idea of what people really think of her and it was awful and that no one should be allowed to google themselves or read comments sections. Her age, “mediocre” acting and attractiveness came up a lot.

Miley Cyrus

The Malibu singer told Barbara Walters in 2013 that she became a much happier person after she stopped googling herself and she’s she refuses to do so now.
