They will try to suck you dry and drop you to the ground like a used tissue. Not everyone who is very rich is like this.

Those who built themselves up often understand and appreciate someone who is honest and works hard and wants their home to shine.

This is basically how russian, especially russian women work. I met a lot of them while living in China and they all were very entitled and acted like the world moved around them. Most worked in prostitution related businesses but not because they were poor but to climb the social ladder. With prostitution money they would invest in designer clothing, proper bleached blonde hair and some beauty treatment as fillers. Workings as guests in clubs and karaoke rooms they would have access to richer men, their main goal was to find a very rich husband. But in order to obtain that they couldnt look like gold diggers, their external status (clothing, and overall looks) would have to convince men they were not "gold diggers". Just they are being played back because many of these men are already married but keep them as mistresses without them knowing. They still get some financial aid from this guys but not moving to another target and not demanding too much with the marriage promise. They actually think the world owes them, especially western people. I had a ukranian roommate who would always borrow money but when she received her scholarship stipend she would immediately go spend on another things and not paying me back. I would have to remind her all the time. The odd thing is that she had some savings from a part time job but she wouldn't touch that money. Like she would spend her scholarship money and then borrow for me, instead of going to her savings. That's a really good plan, to live on loans that don't even come with interest rate and if lucky i could forget.

@@elijahculper5522 No matter what “class” of people commit such a crime - it is still wrong! Anna is no heroic Robin Hood and most certainly should not be regarded as a role model or praised for her “efforts”. She deserves no pity whatsoever for being a liar and a fraud snd using her friends She knew full well her credit cards would not pay for the lavish Moroccan trip. She threw her friend under the bus. Any money Rachel made was well deserved for the heartache snd stress that Anna put on her. At the time of Anna scamming Rachel there was no thought of regaining any of her money in such a way. She simply turned a bad situation into an opportunity as anyone should have under same circumstances. I don’t believe there was an actual “Art” Center ever to be developed. With no equity snd large loans it would have been a miracle to survive and be a viable profitable business. Her lies of being an heiress show her true deceptive nature and bilking the hotels - one after another - is inexcusable. Her actions are completely reprehensible. And to try to justify or compare her actions by using the housing/banking bust or any other high profile Wall Street crime or white collar crime is morally wrong and corrupt. Wrong Is wrong. No matter who commits the crime. Bank kiting is a federal offence and the extent to which she did all this and using the money for obscene luxuries leaves no question in my mind that she would have used that 20.million - had she obtained it from the banks - recklessly and bankrupted any Art venture she supposedly was “envisioning”. The only vision Anna had was seeing Anna live a life she could not earn or maintain. A life she certainly didn’t deserve or anyone else who is a cheat and a fraud.

I think the vast majority of America’s ultra wealthy came into their money by exploiting others. Some exploit workers, others exploit customers, and others exploit the government. I don’t think any of these elites have come by their money legitimately. I don’t think any of them deserve that lifestyle while people starve. And I don’t think the government should concern itself with protecting the hoarded wealth of billionaires while actual violent crimes go unsolved because the victims are poor. I think in theft cases, the penalty should be based off of the financial hardship caused to victims. And in this case, there was none. I don’t want my kids growing up to be Anna Sorokin and I don’t want to live in a society where everyone acts like her. But I think that there are thousands of more dangerous individuals walking free.

There's sometimes a fantasy that "everything will be alright in the end", especially if they're big drinkers. There's also thinking that $60K is just "chump change" for someone like their victim so it really doesn't matter, and another I've seen is the idea that their friendship is so valuable that the other person won't mind spending that much for the time they've spent together.

Since she had worked at a fashion magazine, she knew well how to fake being a heiress, act aloof, overly important, be demanding, say things like "yea, my dad is at our chalet in Switzerland this weekend", as if it were normal. Some folks want to believe that their new friend is rich.

Well she actually didn’t really hurt anyone. The Rachel thing was shitty but Rachel came out with more money so she ended up profiting off of her. She redistributed a lot of money to low income workers (the staff) and she scammed a bank and a few hotels. And she ended up paying most of it back so it is actually kinda funny. Compared to what other people with personality disorders do this is not that bad. I think it’s more spooky if the Sacklers or the CEO‘s of tobacco companies say that they don’t believe they are responsible for making millions of addicts and killing tons of people.

Excellent analysis Todd, about 20 years ago I spent about 12 months in a fly on the wall role in the London fashion industry.... you are 150% spot on in your analysis of these people... all paying £35 $50US for a gin and tonic without even blinking despite most of them being unable to afford it. Last week I was in London for a series of meetings..we had dinner in a relatively recent, vast hotel in the old Midland Bank HQ, built at the pinnacle of the British Empire, it was vast, beautiful, acres of marble etc.. the bar bill for 4 of us £750 or $1100US... 3 bottles of wine and two whisky sodas. About 2000 others spending simular amounts. I live in the far rural North of England. £750 is the rent on a family home for a month and more than most families live off up here in a month after tax... There were several Members of Parliament in that hotel bar, and I recognised several 'celebs'.. this at a time when inflation is hammering normal people... It was all rather disgusting. The Hunger Games in flesh.

@@misstokyo1994 I agree that we need to take care not to diagnose from a distance. But it is perfectly ok to make observations about a person’s blatantly obvious personality traits that they show to the world. Pointing out that someone is behaving in a narcissistic way, or in an antisocial way is NOT diagnosing them. It’s simply pointing out an observable behavioural trait. It would be the same as commenting that someone is conscientious. It seems to me that people with narcissistic traits have flipped the script so that everyone’s too afraid to say that word these days. I conclude that the narcissistic people have controlled the narrative so that nobody can call them out.

She told everyone via FB she had 3 different types of cancer (breast, pancreatic and lymph). People reached out and held 2 fundraisers totaling about $30K. The following weekend, she showed up at a horse event driving a brand new purple Dodge Ram pickup pulling her horse trailer. She also had put up photos of her newly remodeled living room with all new leather furniture. You can believe in miracles because she was cured of all 3 cancers by holistic means without ever stepping foot in a hospital. A friend of mine sold a horse through this person as an agent. The horse sold for $7500 and my friend NEVER saw a dime of it.

I actually know someone like this. She's always "borrowing" money and never paying it back. She's a known freeloader and has talked friends into letting her stay with them promising to help with rent, utilities, food, etc. But, she never follows through and loses her friends in the process. And, get this: when staying rent-free with these people, she has the gall to complain about them, their kids, and their pets! She definitely feels entitled to being able to live off people for free. It's terrible! Thankfully, she's burned all her bridges - including the ones with her own family. She has been "unofficially" diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, which does explain some of her behavior. Unfortunately, she refuses to get help and acts like she's perfectly fine. Her actions have made it nearly impossible to get a place to live (unable to provide references PLUS bad credit) and unable to keep friends. The last I heard, she's living with her daughter and, at least, providing free babysitting for her daughter - otherwise, she'd be homeless.

Extremely accurate analysis, Dr. Grande. 😱😭😎💕👋😊😀 Ms. Sorokin is to this date the most cocky and arrogant person that it could ever exist. I just watched an interview from Australia 60 Mins.

I'm going to say it until I turn blue in the face - Anna Sorokin reminds me of Elon Musk!
