That’s all for Anna Wintour. According to The Daily Front Row, the long-time editor-in-chief of Vogue announced in a June 2025 staff meeting that she was stepping down from her role. As the fashion world awaits her next move, many are curious about her rise to recognition as one of the most influential fashion icons of all time. From her net worth to salary, and more on her apparent departure as Vogue’s EIC, News47.us has gathered everything we know so far about the matter below.
In 2005, New York magazine reported that Anna was earning a $2 million salary as Vogue‘s editor-in-chief. However, in time, that annual income grew, as multiple outlets reported that she’s been earning $4 million per year. Moreover, Business Insider reported in 2014 that Anna was receiving a a $200,000 “allowance” for her workwear clothing.
Anna currently has a net worth of $50 million and an annual salary of $4 million in 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Overnight success wasn’t how Anna grew her wealth. In fact, it took the editor and fashion icon years to earn her multimillion-dollar income. But as the daughter of Charles Wintour, the former editor of the Evening Standard, Anna had a leg up in the publishing business.
After realizing that she had a knack for fashion — even getting into trouble at school for rebelling against conservative dress codes — Anna worked at Biba, thanks to an arrangement by her father. Upon getting her foot in the door of fashion by working at Harrod’s, the London native was hired as an editorial assistant for Harpers & Queen — a merger between Harper’s Bazaar UK and Queen in the 1970s. However, even at that early point in her career, Anna reportedly told people she wanted to work for Vogue.
Eventually, Anna left London and moved to New York City by working as a junior fashion editor at Harper’s Bazaar. However, Anna was fired after less than a year because she couldn’t “pin a dress,” she revealed in a 2024 appearance on the “Origins” podcast.
“I really didn’t have much talent when I was young. I was not good at anything,” Anna added, admitting she embraced the fake-it-till-you-make-it approach. “But it was a very different time. Where people got jobs with no discernible skills, but maybe somebody knew someone. So, that’s sort of how you ended up in that position. And it was really wrong and I was very bad. I just was lucky. I was just very, very lucky.”
