The Fake Heiress Who Fooled New York's Elite | Anna Delvey's $275,000 Con

Anna Sorokin was born in 1991 near Moscow. Her father drove trucks. Her mother worked at a convenience store. By 2016, she was staying at Manhattan's most exclusive hotels, dining with New York's social elite, and convincing major banks to consider giving her a $22 million loan. Her secret? She simply told everyone she was Anna Delvey, a German heiress with a €60 million trust fund. And almost nobody checked. Between 2013 and 2017, Anna defrauded banks, hotels, and friends out of approximately $275,000. She commissioned business plans for a private arts club. She met with executives at City National Bank and Fortress Investment Group. She stayed at the W New York, 11 Howard, and the Beekman—running up tens of thousands in unpaid bills. Her downfall came after a disastrous trip to Morocco, where she stuck a friend with a $62,000 hotel bill. That friend went to the Manhattan District Attorney. In 2019, Anna was convicted of grand larceny and theft of services. She served two years in prison, followed by 18 months in ICE detention for overstaying her visa. Netflix paid her $320,000 for her life rights—most of which was seized under New York's Son of Sam law. Today, Anna remains in the United States under house arrest, fighting deportation while running a PR agency, hosting a podcast, and appearing on Dancing with the Stars with her ankle monitor on full display. This is the true story of how one woman exposed everything wrong with how America treats the appearance of wealth.
