When the myth that was Anna Delvey unravelled, it was a fall from grace of epic proportions.
Her life went from private jets, designer clothing and lavish nights out, to declined credit cards, irate hotel security personnel, and charges of grand larceny and a jail sentence.
Anna Delvey, as she was known by Manhattan’s social elite, had successfully infiltrated an enviable circle of restauranteurs, celebrities, fashion designers and socialites, conning businesses, acquaintances and banks out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process.
And now, her story is being transformed into a Netflix original series, dropping February 11, 2022.
Watch the trailer for Inventing Anna. Post continues below.
People believed she was a millionaire German heiress and aspiring businesswoman, set to build a cultural centre akin to Soho House – a space for wealthy young artists to create, socialise and party.

As reported by Rolling Stone, Anna Sorokin was the daughter of a Russian truck driver.
