Women with a secret
Anna Delvey succeeded in creating the appearance of a family heir that was truly rich by treating herself with many exclusive experiences, travel, clothing, etc. Everyone who knew him had just accepted him. This is not a new phenomenon that is right in New York’s upper class.
Anna has an expensive habit of living in a hotel in Soho, which might seem strange to some people, but everyone who knows only thinks that it is more comfortable for people who are partying all the time and must often go to their home countries to meet often to meet to meet to meet Visa requirements.
Apparently, this story is very convincing that even at the Hotel Anna prefers to stay, they do not ask for information on his credit cards, and he only pays cash. Also, it’s not something unusual for women to use the cash very generously, sometimes gives a tip of $ 100.
He even made friends with one of the hotel employees, Neffatari Davis. Both of them came out together, and hotel employees even remembered their surprise when at one event he got a seat next to Macaulay Culkin, and Anna seemed to know him quite well.

Another friend
Michael Xufu Huang was yet another person with whom Miss Delvey hit it off almost immediately. They bonded over art, and soon went on a trip to Italy together. She asked him to pay for the expenses using his credit card, which he did, but then she completely forgot to pay him back. He realized that Anna was a fraud when the organizers of her birthday party contacted him trying to reach the woman, as she never paid the bills for the celebration.
Gossip girl
By that time, people had started gossiping about Anna and where she gets her money from. The first theory was that her dad was a Russian diplomat or had a business in the oil sector. Another one is that she comes from a German family that earned a fortune by antique trading. Those stories didn’t seem to upset Anna at all. On the opposite, she enjoyed the attention.
But it wasn’t all. She had a bigger goal in mind, as she wanted to create so-called The Anna Delvey Foundation where nightlife and art would meet. For this, she had to find investors as well as take out some loans. People started to question her heiress status, but Anna was quick to explain that she just couldn’t access her money while staying in the US. She also hosted some fundraising events.
Things go downhill

In the end, the hotel received $30,000, and she restored her name for some time. However, when they demanded the information about her credit card, she started a scandal, and then went to Morocco with her friend and personal trainer Rachel Williams. Anna asked Rachel to pay with her credit card, as hers were declined. Rachel agreed and quickly regretted, as she got a $62,000 bill.
Not only Rachel, but also lots of other people who Anna borrowed money from, confronted the wannabe socialite and demanded her to pay them back. She told them the same story about the money she couldn’t access, but no one believed her, of course. Rachel Williams, Anna’s ex-trainer, got in touch with the New York District Attorney and informed them about Anna’s suspicious behavior.
Anna was arrested because of her unpaid bills for hotels, but was bailed out. A few weeks later she was arrested again for multiple cases of larceny and theft of services.
