Early Life

Wintour was born on November 3, 1949, in London, England, to newspaper editor Charles Wintour and philanthropist Elinor Wintour.

Born into a family with considerable wealth, Wintour demonstrated a tendency to do things her own way at an early age. As a teenager, she made the decision to forgo academics, dropping out of her fancy finishing school and opting instead for a life that revolved around the tony London life of the 1960s that she so clearly adored.
