The wannabe socialite busted for racking up massive bills at swanky Manhattan hotels by pretending to be a German heiress has spoken out for the first time — saying in an interview from Rikers Island that the transition from social butterfly to jailbird hasn’t been that difficult. “This place is not that bad at all actually,” Anna Sorokin tells New York magazine in a new deep dive into her double life as glitterati gal “Anna Delvey.” “People seem to think it’s horrible, but I see it as like, this sociological experiment … This one girl, she’s been stealing other people’s identities. I didn’t realize it was so easy,” the 27-year-old continued, adding that she is also fascinated by the murderers she’s locked up with.
33. “Wannabe Businesswoman”
The Russia-born Sorokin in January was charged with scamming banks, businesses and a friend out of hundreds of thousands of dollars for free hotel stays and designer duds. But she claims it was all in the service of realizing her grandiose plan of opening a six-story “arts club” in Gramercy Park called the Anna Delvey Foundation, which was to be filled with pop-up shops, art installations, three restaurants, a juice bar and a German bakery, the magazine reports. And she resents The Post labeling her a “wannabe socialite” when she’s really a wannabe businesswoman.
