The convicted Russian-German fraudster Anna Sorokin, who pretended to be a German heiress under the name Anna Delvey, has been paid a huge sum by the streaming platform Netflix in lieu of adapting her story for a Shonda Rhimes-created series titled “Inventing Anna”, reports ‘Deadline’.
‘Insider’ also reported that the streamer paid her $320,000 to adapt her story of how she scammed the rich for TV. Anna became infamous among New York’s elite, claiming to be a German heiress with a $60 million trust fund fortune.
Anna’s story grabbed the headlines in 2018 after ‘New York Magazine’ revealed her plan to create a mixed-use development by borrowing money from banks. During Sorokin’s life as a jet-setter, she obtained hundreds of thousands from her wealthy friends with the promise of paying them back, which she never did.
