Quick answer: Celebrity Net Worth, published and last modified 16 May 2023, says Anna Sorokin, also known as Anna Delvey, “has a net worth of $50,000.” Forbes has no profile for her. The previous version of this page turned that figure into a $50,000 to $100,000 range, then treated a Netflix life-rights fee, court restitution and later art sales as if they were the same number. They are not. This page will keep them apart.

The $50,000, and the $100,000 that was added to it
Celebrity Net Worth, published 16 May 2023 and last modified the same day, says Anna Sorokin, also known as Anna Delvey, is a con artist and convicted fraudster who has a net worth of $50,000. That is the only named, dated personal estimate we found. Forbes does not carry a profile; forbes.com/profile/anna-delvey/ and forbes.com/profile/anna-sorokin/ both return a 404. There is no second publisher’s net worth to set beside the first.
The previous page used $50,000 to $100,000 as a 2026 finding. The floor is Celebrity Net Worth’s number. The ceiling is not. We are not going to treat an extra $50,000 as confirmation, and we are not going to treat a May 2023 page as a 2026 update just because this URL has 2026 in the title. Celebrity Net Worth does not show its work. The $50,000 is unexplained. It is still the only estimate with a name and a date on it.
Quantities that are not the same thing
| Quantity | What it would measure | What is published |
|---|---|---|
| Living net worth, dated | What one publisher thinks she owns minus what she owes | $50,000, Celebrity Net Worth, 16 May 2023. Unexplained. Forbes: none |
| The previous page’s 2026 range | The same estimate with an unsourced top added | $50,000 to $100,000. The $100,000 has no publisher |
| The €60 million “trust” | Money she said was hers | Wikipedia: fake documents purporting to show €60 million in Swiss accounts she could not access. Not an asset |
| $22 million loan applications | Credit she asked for | Celebrity Net Worth and Wikipedia: City National, then Fortress. Applications, not cash received |
| Netflix life rights | What the series paid for the story | $320,000, Celebrity Net Worth and Wikipedia. A fee |
| Restitution ordered | What the court said she owed victims | $199,000, Celebrity Net Worth and Wikipedia, plus a $24,000 fine |
| Restitution Celebrity Net Worth says she paid | What that site says left her account | $198,000. Not the same sentence as the $199,000 order. We are not merging them |
| What Wikipedia says remained from Netflix | Fee minus restitution, fine and legal fees, at the time of that accounting | $22,000. Wikipedia only. Not a 2026 bank balance |
| Art sold as of December 2022 | Sales, not equity | $340,000, Wikipedia. Bail and rent came out of it. Not a net-worth figure |
| $10,000 bail, October 2022 | A bond | Wikipedia (October 2022); Celebrity Net Worth (late 2022). Not equity |
A life-rights cheque is money in. Restitution is money out. A bond is money posted. Art sold is a gross. None of those sentences is “what she is worth in 2026.”
The fee, the order, and the two restitution numbers
Celebrity Net Worth writes, in the same opening, that Netflix paid Anna $320,000 “for her life rights and to act as a consultant on its series,” and that she “ultimately paid $198,000 in restitution to her victims.” Later on the same page it says she was sentenced to four to twelve years, issued a $24,000 fine, and ordered to pay $199,000 in restitution. Those are two different restitution figures on one publisher’s page: an order and a claim about what was paid. We are printing both. We are not averaging them, and we are not quietly picking one.
Wikipedia (the compiled article; Anna Delvey redirects there) also prints the $320,000. Its wording is narrower: Netflix paid Delvey $320,000 “for the rights to her life story.” It does not repeat Celebrity Net Worth’s consultant clause. That is a difference in what each page chose to include, not a second fee.
Wikipedia then does the arithmetic Celebrity Net Worth does not. It says she was fined $24,000 and ordered to pay restitution of $199,000, including $100,000 to City National, $70,000 to Citibank, and approximately two-thirds of the amount owed to Blade. “These amounts, as well as approximately $75,000 in legal fees related to the trial, were paid from proceeds of Delvey’s $320,000 deal with Netflix; the court allowed Delvey to keep the remaining $22,000.” That $22,000 is Wikipedia’s remainder after that split. It is not Celebrity Net Worth’s $50,000, and it is not a statement about her accounts in 2026.
The same Wikipedia paragraph says she was not forced to pay other legal bills attached to the failed Church Missions House lease and the failed $22 million loan. Those unpaid invoices are not a secret fortune. They are debts the court did not collect from the Netflix cheque.
The trust fund was the story, not the ledger
Wikipedia says she used Microsoft Word to create fake bank statements and other documents purporting to show that she had €60 million in Swiss accounts she could not access because they were in trust. Celebrity Net Worth describes the same method — false bank statements, a posed heiress, a $22 million application to City National and then Fortress — without printing the €60 million figure. The previous page converted that claim into “60 million euro ($68 million)” and put it in the lead as if it were family money. It was the con. It is not an asset, and we are not going to dollarise it into a second net worth.
Celebrity Net Worth’s own fraud total is $275,000 taken from banks, hotels and individuals between 2013 and 2017. That is a loss figure on other people’s books. It is not hers to keep, and it is not a net worth.
What the compiled biography actually holds
Anna Sorokin was born on 23 January 1991 in Domodedovo, per Celebrity Net Worth and Wikipedia. Celebrity Net Worth says the family moved to North Rhine-Westphalia in 2007, that she attended a Catholic grammar school in Eschweiler, and that she briefly enrolled at Central Saint Martins in London before dropping out. It says she interned in Berlin and then at Purple in Paris, and that the Delvey name starts there. Wikipedia is the compiled court-and-media chronology: New York from 2013, the invented foundation, the hotels, the Morocco trip that left Rachel Williams with a $62,000 bill, arrest in Malibu in October 2017, conviction in 2019, parole in February 2021, ICE detention six weeks later for overstaying a visa, and a $10,000 bail bond in October 2022 with release to house arrest.
Wikipedia also records that, as of December 2022, she had sold $340,000 worth of art, and that the proceeds were used to post bail and to pay three months of rent on a $4,250-a-month East Village apartment. Those are sales and outgoings. They are not a 2026 valuation of a studio, and the ARTnews URL Wikipedia cites did not resolve to that story from here, so the figure stays labelled as Wikipedia’s.
In September 2024, Wikipedia says, she appeared on season 33 of Dancing with the Stars, paired with Ezra Sosa, wore an ICE-mandated ankle monitor on the broadcast, and was one of the first two celebrities eliminated. That is a credit. We have not found a named source that publishes what the show paid.
Immigration status is the part that goes stale fastest. Celebrity Net Worth, in May 2023, stops at late-2022 house arrest. Wikipedia’s compiled article still describes her as under house arrest in the United States and captions a photograph “Delvey in 2025.” We have not opened a 2026 ICE filing, a later bond order or a deportation ruling. The previous page answered the 2026 question as if house arrest were a fact we had just checked. It is a compiled status on Wikipedia, and a 2023 last word on Celebrity Net Worth. That is as far as those pages go.
What this page cannot tell you
We cannot tell you that the $50,000 is right. Celebrity Net Worth does not show its work, and Forbes never entered the comparison. We cannot tell you that the extra $50,000 on the previous range is wrong by a specific amount; it was never sourced. We cannot tell you what her accounts hold in September 2026. We cannot tell you that the $22,000 remainder is still in a bank, or that the $340,000 of art sales became equity. We cannot tell you what Dancing with the Stars paid, what a later reality deal paid, or whether ICE has moved since the last compiled sentence we can open.
We can tell you what one publisher estimated in May 2023, what this site used to add without a source, what Netflix paid for the story, what the court ordered, what Celebrity Net Worth says was paid, what Wikipedia says remained, and that the €60 million was a document, not a fortune. That is less than the previous page promised. It is also the first version that does not spend stolen money, or a series fee, as if it were still in her pocket.

How we research this page
Every figure on this page is attributed to the organisation that published it, with the date it was published, because estimates from different publishers are not interchangeable and they go stale at different speeds.
We used Celebrity Net Worth, published and modified 16 May 2023, for the $50,000 estimate, the $320,000 life-rights fee, the $275,000 fraud total, the $198,000 it says she paid, the $199,000 it says the court ordered, the $24,000 fine, the $22 million loan applications, the late-2022 $10,000 bail and the biographical outline. We checked Forbes and found no profile. For the compiled court chronology, the €60 million fake-trust documents, the $22,000 remainder, the debts the court did not collect from the Netflix cheque, the December 2022 art sales and the 2024 Dancing with the Stars appearance we used Wikipedia’s article on Anna Sorokin, labelled as a compiled biography.
We do not average conflicting figures, we do not convert a fee, a restitution order or an art sale into a living net worth, and we do not treat an unsourced $100,000 on our own previous page as a second publisher. Where Celebrity Net Worth prints $198,000 paid and $199,000 ordered, we print both and leave the gap. Where Wikipedia alone does the $22,000 remainder, we say so.
Two access limits, disclosed. Forbes blocks many article paths; that does not matter here, because there is no Forbes profile to read. Business Insider, BBC, Newsweek, the Guardian and Decider URLs we tried for the Netflix fee did not return a usable document, so the $320,000 is cited from Celebrity Net Worth and Wikipedia, which both print it. The ARTnews URL attached to Wikipedia’s $340,000 art figure did not resolve to that story from here.
From the previous version of this page we removed the unsourced top of the $50,000 to $100,000 range, the conversion of the fake €60 million trust into a $68 million lead figure, the treatment of the Netflix fee as if it were still her money, the claim that victims were simply “repaid” without the $198,000 / $199,000 split or Wikipedia’s $22,000 remainder, and a 2026 house-arrest sentence offered as if we had a 2026 filing. The $50,000 we kept, in the tense and on the date Celebrity Net Worth used. Our approach is described in more detail on our About Us page.
Frequently asked questions
What is Anna Delvey’s net worth?
Celebrity Net Worth, published and last modified 16 May 2023, estimates $50,000. Forbes has no profile. The previous version of this page said $50,000 to $100,000 in 2026. The extra $50,000 had no publisher. We are not averaging those, and we are not treating a May 2023 page as a 2026 finding.
Is the Netflix payment her net worth?
No. Celebrity Net Worth and Wikipedia both print $320,000 as a life-rights fee for Inventing Anna. Celebrity Net Worth adds that she also consulted on the series. A fee is not a living net worth. The same Celebrity Net Worth page says she ultimately paid $198,000 in restitution. Wikipedia says the court applied the cheque to restitution, a $24,000 fine and about $75,000 in trial legal fees, and allowed her to keep $22,000. That remainder is Wikipedia’s, on that accounting, not a 2026 balance.
What did the court order, and what does Celebrity Net Worth say she paid?
Both Celebrity Net Worth and Wikipedia say the court ordered $199,000 in restitution and a $24,000 fine. Celebrity Net Worth, in an earlier sentence, also says she ultimately paid $198,000. Those are not the same figure. We are not merging them into one restitution number.
Did she have a $60 million trust fund?
No. Wikipedia says the documents she used purported to show €60 million in Swiss accounts she could not access. Celebrity Net Worth describes fake statements and a posed heiress without printing that euro figure. The previous page converted the claim to $68 million and put it in the lead. It was the con, not an asset.
What is the $22,000 figure?
Wikipedia’s remainder after it says restitution, the $24,000 fine and about $75,000 in trial legal fees were paid from the $320,000 Netflix deal. Celebrity Net Worth does not print that leftover. It is not the $50,000 net-worth estimate, and it is not a statement about her accounts today.
Is Anna Delvey still under house arrest?
Celebrity Net Worth, in May 2023, stops at a late-2022 $10,000 bail and house arrest. Wikipedia’s compiled article still describes her as under house arrest and notes a 2024 Dancing with the Stars appearance in an ICE ankle monitor. We have not opened a 2026 immigration filing. The previous page answered that as a current fact. Those two pages do not get us to September 2026.
Bottom line
Anna Delvey is worth $50,000 according to one publisher, on one date in 2023, using a method that publisher does not describe. This site used to stretch that into $50,000 to $100,000 in 2026. Those are not a range. They are a named estimate and a number we should not have added.
What holds up without the extra $50,000 is smaller and more useful. A $320,000 story fee that the court spent down. An order of $199,000 and a claim of $198,000 paid, left as two sentences. A $22,000 remainder that only Wikipedia writes. A trust fund that existed as a Word document. And an FAQ that no longer needs a fake heiress’s imaginary millions to look finished.
