According to WWD, Anna is ranked in the top-tier of funders for President Obama’s re-election campaign:
Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour was ranked in the top tier of fund-raising “bundlers” for President Obama, raising more than $500,000 for his re-election campaign, according to the campaign’s list of top fund-raisers released Tuesday. Wintour, who has hosted fund-raising events for Obama at her private residence, was in good company. Hollywood media moguls Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Katzenberg were also top fund-raisers, as was Sally Susman, executive vice president for policy for external affairs and communications at Pfizer Inc. In all, 61 people raised at least $500,000 for the Obama for America and Obama Victory Fund 2012 political action committees to help Obama clinch a second term in the White House. More than 440 fund-raisers collected at least $75 million, according to reports.
