00:00What does it mean to be the first female, self-made billionaire in American history?

00:10If there was ever the original influencer, it's Martha.

00:12The hardest thing is to retain cultural relevance as an older woman, and she's done it.

00:18I was considered crazy, but it worked.

00:21She was preposterously perfect.

00:23Perfect little pattern.

00:24Perfect, perfect, perfect.

00:26Things look fabulous, but are they?

00:29Young women, listen to my advice.

00:31If you're married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he's a piece of shit.

00:35Get out of that marriage.

00:36Didn't you have an affair early on?

00:38Yeah, but I don't think Andy ever knew about that.

00:41I'm strict, and I'm demanding, and I'm all those good things that make a successful person.

01:09I was dragged into solitary, no food or water.

01:11Those prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high.

01:16I had to climb out of a hole.

01:19I am free.

01:20No ankle bracelet.

01:24You expected her to do something soft.

01:26But she went the other way.

01:28Smoking on cushions.

01:32What is more important, a marriage or a career?

01:35You tell me.

01:37I don't know.

01:40The cookie cutter house and the cookie cutter life was not for me.

01:45I like the way you're spinning that sugar around them balls, Martha. That's nice.

01:50I have two mottos. Learn something new every day.

01:53And when you're through changing, you're through.

01:55I could have just been a miserable husband, housewife.

01:57But I didn't let that happen to myself.

02:00And I'm so happy I didn't.

02:25You
