Anna Wintour, a fashion icon and editor-in-chief of American Vogue, was born in 1949 to a prestigious family. Born into a family deeply entrenched in media and journalism, Wintour credits her father, Charles Wintour, for growing her interest in fashion journalism. She was the eldest daughter of the late Charles Wintour, who was editor of the London Evening Standard in the 1960s.
Wintour’s net worth is estimated to be $50m, with a yearly salary between $2m and $4m. She has two children and was first married to David Shaffer from 1984 to 1999. They had two children, Charles, 32, and Katherine, 30.
Wintour began her career in fashion journalism at 15 years old, with an annual clothing budget as high as her father’s. Her mother came from money on the East Coast and was interested in journalism and writing. Anna’s father was a newspaper editor, and her mother was involved in social activity.
Born into a noble family, Wintour demonstrated a tendency to do things her own way at an early age. She is known for her “boring woman” persona and her create vision makes American Vogue look cheap. All of her outfits follow the same main themes without any creative effort.
Anna Wintour has addressed misconceptions about her persona and has been a prominent figure in the fashion industry. She has been married to David Shaffer from 1984 to 1999 and has two children.

Not a fan of Anna Wintour. But it’s interesting to see how she’s demonised for things most successful business men casually do. She’s clearly married to her work. (If it were a man, we’d call him a genius) I’d love to see a article on her work tho. Is she overhyped or are her contributions monumental to the fashion industry.
Anna Wintour is not the only famous woman to wear the same hairdo for several decades. Jackie Kennedy wore different hairdos while in the White House. She wore a medium length flip, wore it up with a french twist, wore side bangs or no bangs. But after JFK’s death, Jackie wore the same helmet hair until her death. And she never lost her status as a fashion icon. I don’t care for some of those prints Anna wears. On a poor woman they would be considered garish but I guess it’s considered elegant on her. (?)
Wintour is over-rated. She urged the Gap to hire her recommendation to head up the Gap Division, they did & he nearly bankrupted the Gap. The same was true of her other recommendations. She didn’t add anything to Vogue that it didn’t already have. She did, however, ruin the look, style, and sophistication of Vogue.
I don’t understand why people bring Man vs. Female into discussion. I dislike Harvey Weinstein for instance (a lot) and I also dislike Anna Wintour (not as much, but a lot – the comparison is a bit extreme). Why? Because she seems like a sadistic b*t*h IMO. And you can’t have a ton of people in the industry saying she’s awful, and think she’s a nice person. The fur thing, the skinny thing, everything, suggest that she’s not a nice person. Sorry. I am sure there are a lot of men in the Fashion Business, extremely mean, but I guess she is more famous. It’s not a case of MEN vs. FEMALES here, sorry. If she was a man, I would think exactly the same, I wouldn’t call him a genius just ’cause he’s a man.
