About

Anna Sorokin, born January 23, 1991, is a Russian-born German woman who gained notoriety as Anna Delvey, a con artist who infiltrated New York's elite social scene. She cultivated an image as a wealthy German heiress, using this fabricated identity to defraud financial institutions, hotels, and acquaintances out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sorokin's elaborate deception involved lavish spending, exclusive parties, and promises of investment in a prestigious art club and gallery, all while living on borrowed money and credit. Her ability to charm and manipulate those around her allowed her to maintain this facade for several years, a testament to her cunning and persuasive nature. Her elaborate scheme unraveled in 2017, leading to her arrest and subsequent trial. In 2019, Anna Sorokin was convicted of multiple counts of grand larceny and theft of services, ultimately serving time in prison. The sensational nature of her cons and her ability to fool so many prominent figures captured public attention, leading to widespread media coverage and inspiring the popular 2022 Netflix limited series "Inventing Anna." Sorokin's story has been widely discussed as a commentary on wealth, aspiration, and the vulnerabilities within social and financial systems, leaving a significant cultural footprint.
