Rumours that Oprah Winfrey has bought a penthouse suite at the Shangri-La tower on Georgia Street are not true, according to the president of a real estate company that’s selling units at the condo.

Tracie McTavish, president of Rennie Marketing Systems, told Metro News yesterday that he’s heard the rumour before. “I’m pretty connected after 30 years in real estate,” he said. “I can confirm this is not true.”

Three real estate agents told Metro they had also heard the rumour, but were unable to confirm it.

The two-storey, 5,890-square-foot penthouse suite has three bedrooms, a private elevator, and a rooftop garden with a lap pool, hot tub and outdoor kitchen.
