Anna Delvey, a young woman known for her supposed heiress status, had planned to establish the Anna Delvey Foundation, a multi-million dollar visual-arts center. She was reportedly due to inherit $67 million on her 26th birthday.
Her life in New York was a whirlwind of exclusive events, penthouse suites, and expensive champagne. Delvey cultivated relationships with prominent New Yorkers, seeking investments for her ambitious foundation.
This opulent lifestyle, however, was built on deception. Anna Delvey was, in reality, Anna Sorokin, a former magazine intern who had masterfully reinvented herself. She successfully conned friends and businesses out of thousands of dollars.
Journalist Vicky Baker and playwright Chloe Moss have collaborated to unravel the intricate details of this scandal. Their work mixes documentary and drama to recount the dramatic rise and eventual fall of Anna Delvey.
