Jack Watkin, 26, who previously featured in a Rich Kids of Instagram documentary, defrauded businesses and individuals of over £200,000.
Watkin committed fraud by falsely claiming he had contacts for exclusive Hermes handbags and would split resale profits, spending the illicit gains at Harrods and the Dorchester hotel.
He pleaded guilty to eight counts of fraud by false representation at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday.
Watkin was also convicted earlier in 2025 of nine offences related to indecent images and is scheduled to be sentenced for both the fraud and indecent images offences on 3 September.
