Her original works sold for $25,000 and her prints for $250 each
Fake heiress Anna Delvey has made $340,000 selling paintings and drawings, mostly of herself, according to a New York Post report.
THE 31-year-old Anna Delvy whose real name is Anna Sorokin she was portrayed as the golden heiress of an aristocratic German family in New York and was convicted of fraud and financial crimes in 2019. Her story was made into the Netflix miniseries “Inventing Anna” by Shonda Rhimes.
Delvy served a two-year sentence at Rikers Island and was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for 17 months for remaining in the U.S. without permission to remain. In May she opened a solo exhibition of her work entitled ‘Allegedly’, making a virtual surprise appearance from prison. Delvi was let go free in October and remains in house arrest.
The designs are simple pencil-on-paper illustrations with a comic undertone that mainly refers to Delvy herself wearing designer creations. Some of the designs are fake newspaper covers parodying the New York Times front page titled “The Delvey Crimes” or “The Delvey Journal” with cartoons and captions of her own rants.
Her original works sold for $25,000 and her prints for $250 each.

According to Variety, art sales helped Sorokin pay warranty and to pay three months’ rent on her East Village apartment.
