Israeli national Simon Leviev is a convicted conman. As the documentary “The Tinder Swindler,'' which tells his true story, dominates the Netflix Top 10 across the world, viewers are curious to know more about the convicted fraudster.

Take a look at how Leviev defrauded women on the popular dating app, and how much he is worth today.

Leviev was born Shimon Hayut. He reportedly served a two-year prison sentence in Finland for dating fraud between 2015 and 2017.

In 2017, he changed his name to Simon Leviev to falsely pose as the son of Russian-Israeli diamond mogul Lev Avnerovich Leviev.

Through a lavish lifestyle depicted on social media, Leviev scammed women he met on Tinder and lured them with impressive and costly first dates. Once he established connections with his dates, he would claim that his life was in danger and ask his victims for thousands of dollars.

Between 2017 and 2019, Leviev swindled an estimated $10 million from several people across the globe.

In December 2019, he was convicted of theft, fraud and forgery. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison but only spent five months behind bars due to good behavior. He was also ordered to pay $43,289 in compensation.

Since his release, he has supposedly gotten into business consulting, real estate and Bitcoin, as per the South China Morning Post.

Today, Leviev has an estimated net worth of somewhere between $500,000 and $1 million, according to Distractify. In comparison, the diamond mogul he claimed to be his father, has a net worth of $1.5 billion, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

To date, the conman is no longer active on Tinder, but he is walking as a free man and pursuing a career in Hollywood, People reported.

He has signed on with a talent manager named Gina Rodriguez, of Gitoni Inc., while eyeing a career in the entertainment industry, said Entertainment Tonight. The outlet added that the convicted fraudster is looking at hosting a podcast or a dating show or writing a book.
