Since Dame Anna Wintour – one of the most influential figures in the fashion world – officially announced her decision to step down as the Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue, after a remarkable tenure spanning nearly four decades, we started getting curious.
As well as being a renowned EIC, she's an icon of her own making... so, does she have a gigantic net worth to match all her success? In a nutshell: yep. And below we detail exactly how much it's reported that Wintour is worth, thanks to not only her day job but her savvy property choices and other ventues.
Oh! And while Wintour is waving goodbye to being Vogue's top dog, she's not going to completely disappear. Instead, she will retain her influence as Global Chief Content Officer and Global Editorial Director at Condé Nast, the publishing company behind the title. It all sounds like it could be straight out of of the Devil Wears Prada sequel set to drop next year (which, as well know, is extremely Anna coded).
What is Anna Wintour's net worth and salary?
Ok, so first up it's important to say that given she has never explicitly spelled it out, the figures around Anna Wintour's wealth are educated guesses: in 2020, Business Insider reported that she was worth $30 million (£21 million).
Elsewhere, and a few years on, in 2025 Wintour's net worth is estimated to be about $50 million. Various sources, including Celebrity Net Worth and The Mirror US, report her annual salary during her time at Vogue reached $4 million a year. But of course that's not all that goes into estimating what someone is 'worth'.
Elsewhere, Wintour’s impressive portfolio includes some super. high-value real estate assets. Notable properties include her historic townhouse in Greenwich Village, New York City, which she purchased in 1992 for $1.4 million and which is now valued at close to $10 million. Additionally, she owns a sprawling Long Island estate of over 40 acres, valued between $10–15 million. Combined, these properties contribute significantly to her overall wealth.

What roles does Anna Wintour have outside of Vogue?
While Wintour is synonymous with Vogue, her ventures go far beyond the magazine. For decades, she has also co-chaired the annual Met Gala, one of the most prestigious events in fashion, helping to raise over $50 million for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute throughout her tenure.
Recognised as a powerhouse fundraiser, she redefined this event into an internationally lauded spectacle and it's unique theme every year provides some of fashion's biggest (and most entertaining) moments.
Additionally, Wintour played a pivotal role in nurturing emerging fashion designers. Through the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, via which she has mentored and financially supported numerous successful designers, including Alexander Wang and Proenza Schouler.
When announcing her decision to step down as E-I-C, Wintour told her team she will still be very much on hand to support and guide "the next generation of impassioned editors storm the field with their own ideas" and expects to remain Vogue's "tennis and theatre editor in perpetuity".
