1. $500,000 is the reported amount US Vogue editor, Anna Wintour raised in efforts to re-elect President Obama. An event she held toward the cause was the ultimate dining experience in 2010 at her private New York residence. Notable guests Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg and Donna Karen attended.

Last month, Wintour announced she will continue her support with "Runway to Win", in which leading designers such as Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu and Diane von Furstenberg will construct designs inspired by the Chief of State. [Telegraph]
