Oprah Takes ENTIRE Staff (and Their Families) to Spain!

It's really, really, really nice to be rich and powerful.

Oprah celebrated her 55th birthday by taking over a popular tourist attraction in Barcelona to hold a party for 1,700 of her employees and their families, Spanish media said Monday.

Barcelona-based newspaper La Vanguardia said the guests are to spend three days in the northeastern Spanish city before being treated to a 10-day Mediterranean cruise.

They will travel from Barcelona on the Norwegian Gem liner, which has space for 3,000 passengers, to Italy, Turkey, Greece, and Malta.

The Chicago Sun Times said last week that Oprah is paying for everything from transportation to food to "special activities" at a cost of about $5,400 per person.

La Vanguardia said the Barcelona party was part of celebrations to mark Winfrey's 55th birthday on January 29.

In 2005, Oprah took her staff on an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii, but this trip is way more expensive and way more fabulous.

We can all but assume Gayle is in Spain, too.
