A Midtown Manhattan penthouse that has made multiple appearances on TV and film is back on the market—this time as itself. The corner unit at The Milan on East 55th Street famously appeared in The Wolf of Wall Street as the Manhattan apartment of Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. In the film, it reads as his “starter” place—before the helicopters and Long Island mansions.

Off 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—it’s where Belfort’s crew accuses Nicholas the Butler of stealing $50,000 and dangles him over the edge in an attempt to force a confession.

The apartment is reportedly owned 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 pied-à-terrerather than a full-time residence. When Martin Scorsese filmed scenes for The Wolf of Wall Street, Brodsky reportedly handed over the keys and stepped aside, later stopping by and briefly encountering the cast mid-production.

The 32-story Milan has quietly built a steady on-screen resume as well. The penthouse has appeared in The Good Wifeand Blue Bloods, while the building’s sleek, glassy exterior was used as Serena van der Woodsen’s family home in Gossip Girl.

The 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, trading for $6.9 million.

The Midtown condo isn’t the only notable property tied to Belfort’s story, however. For the film, additional Long Island estates were used to depict Belfort’s suburban life, including a larger, more cinematic property that has circulated on and off the market in recent years with asking prices around $10 million. Together, the mix of real and stand-in homes helped construct the outsized world he was known for.

Back 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.

The apartment first hit the market in 2024 for $6.95 million and was pulled in December 2025 after several price cuts. It’s now asking a speck under $5 million, listed with brokers Boris Fabrikant and Collin Bond of the Fabrikant Bond Team at Compass.
