The New York City penthouse that acted as the fictional home of financial fraudster Jordan Belfort in the 2013 film “The Wolf of Wall Street” is back on the market. Located on the 32nd floor of the Midtown East condo building Milan at 300 East 55th Street, the luxurious, 2,700-square-foot penthouse serves as the setting of a pivotal scene where an associate of Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, dangles a butler over the balcony. The scene shows off the very real sweeping city views, especially of the Chrysler Building, from the three-bedroom home, which just hit the market for $4,950,000.
As reported by Mansion Global, the real-life owner is Bert E. Brodsky, who leads the real estate development and investment firm BEB Capital. Brodsky paid $4.5 million for the apartment in 2005. He doesn’t live there full-time, telling Mansion Global: “I don’t use it as a residence,” Brodsky said. “I use it more for showering and meeting people.”
The home, which has been used as a filming location for “Gossip Girl,” “The Good Wife,” and “Blue Bloods,” was first listed for $6.25 million in 2024 and then taken on and off the market a few times before listing for $4.95 million this week.
A large entry foyer leads to an expansive great room, measuring over 36 feet long and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows. Two terraces sit on either side of the living and dining area; there’s also a tucked-away wet bar for easy entertaining.
The open chef’s kitchen features custom European cabinetry and Viking appliances.
On the other end of the apartment, the massive primary suite features a corner fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath. The two additional bedrooms also have their own en-suite baths and extra closet space.
The glass-clad tower was built in 2004. Amenities at the building include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a landscaped garden, a fitness center, an on-site garage, a residents’ lounge, and a two-story lobby with a zen garden designed by Ken Smith.
