26 june 2025 в 22:13
Everything about Anna Wintour. According to The Daily Front Row, the longtime editor-in-chief of Vogue announced at a meeting with employees in June 2025 that she is stepping down from this position. While the fashion world awaits her next move, many are curious about her path to recognition as one of the most influential fashion icons of all time. From her net worth to salary and more details about her apparent departure from the position of editor-in-chief of Vogue, Hollywood Life has gathered everything we know at this point on the matter.
In 2005, New York magazine reported that Anna was earning a salary of $ 2 million per year as the editor-in-chief of Vogue. However, over time, this annual income grew, as several sources reported that she was earning $ 4 million per year. Furthermore, Business Insider reported in 2014 that Anna received a $ 200,000 «clothing allowance» for work.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Anna currently has a net worth of $ 50 million and an annual salary of $ 4 million in 2025.
Anna’s wealth did not come to her instantly. In fact, the editor and fashion icon took many years to earn her multimillion-dollar income. But as the daughter of Charles Wintour, a former editor of the Evening Standard, Anna learned about journalism and the magazine business in general.
Realizing she had a talent for fashion — even getting into trouble at school for rebelling against conservative dress codes — Anna worked at Biba thanks to an arrangement with her father. After starting work at Harrod’s and then attending courses in London, she was hired as an editorial assistant at Harper’s & Queen, which was a merger of Harper’s Bazaar UK and Queen in the 1970s. However, even at this early stage in her career, Anna reportedly told people she wanted to work at Vogue.
Ultimately, Anna left London and moved to New York, working as senior fashion editor at Harper’s Bazaar. However, Anna was fired less than a year into her job there because she couldn’t «pin a dress», - as she revealed in an episode of the «Origins» podcast in 2024.
«When I was young, I really didn’t have much talent. I wasn’t good at anything», - Anna added, admitting that she pretended until she succeeded. «But it was a completely different time. Where people got jobs without specific skills, but maybe someone knew someone. So that’s how you ended up in this position. And it was really wrong, and I was very bad. I was just very, very lucky».
Nevertheless, Anna did not give up. She took a brief break before returning to the publishing business in the fashion industry in the 1980s. When she became creative director at Vogue, the editor earned the nickname «Nuclear Wintour» after several controversial decisions. But she made revolutionary changes to the magazine that made Vogue what it is today.
Since then, Anna has climbed the career ladder within the Vogue parent company, Condé Nast, overseeing the launches of satellite magazines Teen Vogue, Vogue Living, and Men’s Vogue.
Anna is also involved in charitable activities, serving as a trustee at the Metropolitan Museum and organizing events that have raised millions of dollars. And at every Met Gala, Anna was the chairperson.
Along with her fortune comes Anna’s fame, and thanks in part to the book and film «The Devil Wears Prada», - her star status exploded in the 2000s.
Anna will no longer hold the position of editor-in-chief of Vogue, but she will still be the global chief content officer and global editorial director, according to WWD and Business of Fashion
