It’s been a busy year for the 26-year-old art collector Michael Xufu Huang. In May, he pulled off what now seems like an unthinkable feat: opening a new museum in Beijing during the global health crisis.
He’s also been thrust into the spotlight for another reason. Huang recently discovered that there’s a character based on him in at least one of several new television series about the exploits of the convicted Russian con artist Anna Delvey. Huang was one of the influential figures Delvey befriended during her early days on the New York art scene, where she scammed wealthy investors and socialites by claiming she was an heiress about to come into a $60 million inheritance when she turned 25.
