how a stranger tricked the new york jet set

For several years, she managed to rip off the elite of New York society. Anna Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, played the German heiresses to lead the high life, stealing tens of millions of dollars in the process. How could a stranger fool everyone? This is what a series on Netflix tries to trace.

Because Anna Delvey had nothing to become a star. Coming from a modest Russian family, she moved with her parents to Germany before settling alone in New York. To realize her dream of being part of high society, Anna invents the character of a wealthy heiress and quickly rubs shoulders with the jet set. To finance her lifestyle, the young woman claims that the money from her inheritance is blocked in an account in Switzerland and regularly borrows thousands of dollars from her friends without ever repaying them.
