She and her brother were raised in a middle-class family; her father drove a truck and her mother once owned a small convenience store. At age 19, Sorokin left Germany to pursue a fashion degree in Paris and eventually took on the name Anna Delvey.

Summary. Anna Delvey's story was immortalized in the Netflix series "Inventing Anna," but it faced controversy for leaving out facts and glamorizing a convicted criminal. Anna Delvey continues to live in New York City and maintains a lavish lifestyle through art sales and her podcast, "The Anna Delvey Show."

She used this to fund her lavish lifestyle, including residencies in multiple upscale hotels. Between 2013 and 2017, Sorokin defrauded and deceived major financial institutions, banks, hotels, and individuals for a total of $275,000.

Sorokin, who is currently under house arrest in her apartment in Manhattan's East Village, embarked on a career as an artist while still incarcerated, turning a profit of $340,000 from the pencil and paper drawings she created to help pay her rent and secure the $10,000 bond required for her to stay at home.
