How to scam half of New York's socialites.

By zooming out on the map, you can observe the geographical locations of Anna Delvey's upbringing and her subsequent relocations throughout the globe.

Anna Delvey, actual name Anna Sorokin, was born on January 23, 1991, in Russia. She grew up in a middle-class household in Germany and went to school there. In 2013, she came in New York City, claiming to be a wealthy German heiress with a multimillion-dollar trust. Delvey rapidly became absorbed in the city's affluent social scene, frequenting premium hotels, restaurants, and clubs. She presented an image of luxuriousness, frequently spotted wearing fancy clothes and dining at upscale restaurants. Delvey's past combines luxury and dishonesty. Despite her claims of riches and social rank, investigations ultimately proved that she had a humble upbringing in Russia and Germany. Delvey's ability to persuade and charm people allowed her to enter exclusive circles and enjoy a lavish lifestyle, all while reportedly depending on fraud and deception to support her activities. Her story drew extensive media attention and generated curiosity about the appeal and hazards of New York City's elite society.
