Anna made connections with everyone she met, befriending not only Neff but also a slew of celebrities, athletes, and CEOs. “I had so many questions,” Neff later said of a dinner with Macaulay Culkin. And he was right there. But they were talking about friends. So I never got to say, ‘So, you’re the godfather to Michael Jackson’s kids?'” Anna’s strongest skill appeared to be her ability to interact with others. She was very impressive in social situations; for example, someone who met Anna during Paris Fashion Week recalls how she simply introduced herself and immediately chatted with his friends as if they were hers. Anna seemed to be everywhere. “There are so many trust-fund kids running around,” another person who knew her said. Everyone is your best friend, and you know nothing about anyone.”

Michael Xufu Huang and Anna met at an art show and hit it off right away. He is an art collector and museum founder, and their shared passion for art drew them together so much that they traveled to Italy together. Anna asked Michael to charge the travel expenses to his credit card, and she will reimburse him later. He didn’t hesitate and assumed it was done in good faith. Even though Michael was perplexed by Anna’s use of cash to pay for everything, he was unconcerned. But what happened when the trip came to an end and it was time to repay him? Anna, it appears, ‘forgot all about it.’ Michael readily accepted that explanation. When you’re that wealthy, a trip like that costs nothing, and it’s easy to overlook such a minor expense.
