Ambassadorship or not, Anna Wintour sealed her status as a political influencer in 2012. Think about it, it’s a pretty big deal when the President considers you for a position thanks to the exemplary fundraising you did for his most recent campaign. In Wintour’s case, that work included massive dinners at Sarah Jessica Parker’s house in addition to her own Greenwich Village residence. Her efforts help raise over $500,000 for Obama’s re-election campaign–and her Runway to Win designer shop raised over $40 million.
