The Fake Rockefeller Who Fooled Hollywood – Christophe Rocancourt

A French orphan abandoned at age five grew up to become one of the most audacious con artists in modern history. Christophe Rocancourt arrived in America with almost nothing and transformed himself into "Christopher Rockefeller," convincing Hollywood celebrities, wealthy investors, and Playboy models that he was heir to one of America's greatest fortunes. His first major con in Paris netted him $1.4 million by selling a property he didn't own. In Los Angeles, he lived with actor Mickey Rourke, convinced Jean-Claude Van Damme to produce his movie, married a Playboy model, and moved through Beverly Hills as if he belonged there. He claimed to be the son of Sophia Loren, the nephew of Dino De Laurentiis, a French boxing champion, and a venture capitalist—sometimes all at once. From the mansions of Bel Air to the exclusive parties of the Hamptons, Rocancourt deceived at least 19 victims and claims to have stolen over $40 million. When police finally caught up with him, he jumped bail and fled to Canada, where he posed as a Grand Prix driver before his final arrest. This is the unbelievable true story of the "conman to the stars"—a man who proved that confidence, charm, and an outrageous lie can open any door in America.
