Somebody paid $42,500 for a week
as a gopher at Vogue

The winning charity auction bid is in and $42,500 was paid for a one-week "internship" at Vogue magazine. The proceeds go to the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights. The package includes
One week at the Vogue office in New York City, plus an opportunity to meet [editor] Anna Wintour. The experience would be tailored to the interests and skills of the auction winner. Also includes 2 tickets to New York’s Fashion Week, The September Issue DVD, and books In Vogue; Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People; The World in Vogue: People, Parties, Places and The Teen Vogue Handbook.
As the media website Gawker said:  
As in a real internship, you will only meet Anna for the most fleeting moment, and your nonexistent skills will entitle you to work as a gopher. But in this case you help the RFK center, so, what the hell.
