Anna Delvey is a Russian-born German con artist and fraudster who posed as a wealthy heiress to access the upper echelons of the New York social and art scenes from 2013 to 2017. In 2007, she emigrated from Russia to Germany with her family. In 2011, she left Germany to live in London and Paris before relocating to New York City in 2013, where she interned for the French fashion magazine Purple. She conceived of a private members’ club and art foundation, which included leasing a large building to feature pop-up shops and exhibitions by notable artists she met while interning. 

She then created fake financial documents to substantiate her claims of having a multimillion-euro trust fund and forged multiple wire transfer confirmations. She used these documents, as well as fraudulent checks, to trick banks, acquaintances, and realtors into paying out cash and granting large loans without collateral. She used this to fund her lavish lifestyle, including residencies in multiple upper-class hotels. 

In 2017, she was arrested after defrauding or intentionally deceiving major financial institutions, banks, hotels, and acquaintances in the United States for a total of $275,000. In 2019, she was convicted in a New York state court of attempted grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services, and was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison. After serving two years, she was remanded into the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation to Germany. On the 5th of October 2022, she was granted a $10,000 bail bond and released from prison. As of October 2022, she is required to remain in 24-hour home confinement with electronic monitoring and no access to social media. 

In July 2019, “My Friend Anna”, a book written by Rachel DeLoache Williams, was published by Gallery Publishing Group, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, as well as by Quercus in the UK and Goldmann in Germany. The same year, journalist Jessica Pressler wrote an article for New York about Sorokin’s life as a socialite; Netflix paid Sorokin $320,000 for the rights to her story and developed it into the 2022 miniseries “Inventing Anna”. Her life story has been the subject of multiple other television shows, interviews, podcasts, and theater productions.
