Inventing Anna is based on a true story; the story of Anna Delvey – real name Anna Sorokin – who managed to trick some of New York’s wealthiest socialites into believing she was a billionaire heiress. In May 2020, Anna was sentenced to a minimum of four years in prison following a month-long trial. According to Buzzfeed News, at her sentencing, the judge said she was “stunned by the depth of the defendant’s deception” and that Anna had been “blinded by the glitter and glamor of New York City”.
