Whatever Happened To 'Fake Heiress' Anna Delvey?

Writer Owen Barnes

In April 2019, Anna Delvey was found guilty of eight charges against her, including second-degree grand larceny, one count of first-degree attempted grand larceny, and theft of services. While she was acquitted of other serious charges, including grand larceny related to a $22 million loan and theft of $60,000 from a friend who paid for an expensive Marrakesh vacation, Delvey still faced up to 15 years in prison.

Devley, who was praised on social media for her chic courtroom looks, was ultimately sentenced to four to 12 years at Rikers Island. A day after her sentencing, she told The New York Times, "The thing is, I'm not sorry. I'd be lying to you and to everyone else and to myself if I said I was sorry for anything."

While Delvey's crimes and subsequent lack of remorse make her seem less than likable, it turns out she can be quite sweet. Julia Garner, the actor who portrayed Delvey in Netflix's "Inventing Anna," visited the faux heiress in prison and told Town & Country, "She was extremely charming. She's very gentle. But then her voice gets less soft-spoken when she wants something." Delvey was released from prison on good behavior in February 2021. When asked about the first thing she did upon her release, she told "20/20," "They brought me my phone, so I got on social media."
