\n\tA Midtown Manhattan<\/a> penthouse that has made multiple appearances on TV and film is back on the market\u2014this time as itself. The corner unit at The Milan on East 55th Street famously appeared in\u00a0The Wolf of Wall Street\u00a0as the Manhattan apartment of Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a>. In the film, it reads as his \u201cstarter\u201d place\u2014before the helicopters and Long Island mansions.<\/p>\n

\n\tOff camera, the roughly 2,700-square-foot residence is more straightforward: three bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and two terraces with open skyline and East River views. One of those outdoor spaces, however, carries a bit of cinematic baggage\u2014it\u2019s where Belfort\u2019s crew accuses Nicholas the Butler of stealing $50,000 and\u00a0dangles him over the edge<\/a>\u00a0in an attempt to force a confession.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe apartment is\u00a0reportedly<\/a>\u00a0owned by businessman Bert E. Brodsky, who purchased it for about $4.5 million in 2015 while the building was still under construction. Based in Long Island, he has used the unit primarily as a\u00a0pied-\u00e0-terre<\/a>rather than a full-time residence. When Martin Scorsese filmed scenes for\u00a0The Wolf of Wall Street, Brodsky reportedly handed over the keys and stepped aside, later stopping by and briefly encountering the cast mid-production.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 32-story Milan has quietly built a steady on-screen resume as well. The penthouse has appeared in\u00a0The Good Wifeand\u00a0Blue Bloods, while the building\u2019s sleek, glassy exterior was used as Serena van der Woodsen\u2019s family home in\u00a0Gossip Girl.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe real Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker-turned-fraudster, lived in a sprawling Long Island mansion during the height of his career in the 1990s. That home, spanning about 8,700 square feet, was seized by the federal government after his conviction and sold in 2001. It resurfaced again in October 2025,\u00a0trading for $6.9 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Midtown condo isn\u2019t the only notable property tied to Belfort\u2019s story, however. For the film, additional Long Island estates were used to depict Belfort\u2019s suburban life, including a larger, more cinematic property that has circulated on and off the market in recent years with asking prices\u00a0around $10 million<\/a>. Together, the mix of real and stand-in homes helped construct the outsized world he was known for.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in Midtown, the penthouse is comparatively restrained. The main living space is open and flexible, with room for multiple seating areas and a formal dining setup, while the primary suite sits on a corner with expansive glass, generous closets, and a fireplace.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe apartment first hit the market in 2024 for $6.95 million and was pulled in December 2025 after several price cuts. It\u2019s now asking a speck under $5 million, listed with brokers Boris Fabrikant and Collin Bond of the Fabrikant Bond Team at Compass.<\/p>\n
