Anna Delvey’s Net Worth

She gained their trust saying she had more than $65 million in offshore accounts. When she was asked about the origin of those funds, the German national had a catchy story about an inheritance from her father, who supposedly was the head of an oil empire. When the truth came out, people found out that the rich oil mogul was in fact a working-class truck driver.
The unreal spending and amazingly extravagant lifestyle brought Anna Delvey into the spotlight. When she was eventually caught by police and charged with fraud and other felonies, her wealth and impressive belongings got seized.
Although she is said to be worth a lot of money, until her problems with the law get straightened up, she has almost no access to her wealth. Although most of the stories abot Anna Delvey are just that, stories, and the money she was showing was all part of her elaborate scam, her friends still claim that her net worth is around the $25 million mark.
This is most probably false, as other sources talk about a net worth that might be in the red. Based on a StyleCaster report, she might only have around $97,000 or even less in net worth, assuming she lost everything due to her Fraud charges and considering the pay of $300,000 she received from Netflix for the series about her life.
