Before Jordan Belfort moves to Long Island in The Wolf of Wall Street, he resides in Manhattan. Specifically, at this residence high in 300 East 55th Street, where Leonardo DiCaprio shot multiple scenes, which is now on the market for $4.95 million. Also filmed for the iconic NYC-set show Gossip Girl, this penthouse has quite the on-screen pedigree for buyers looking for something not just luxurious, but with a little extra sizzle.
Upon entry, you’re welcomed into a huge, light-filled living room with views from the East River to Midtown and direct access to a large terrace. It’s a space designed for entertaining: The open layout, large dining area, and chef-style kitchen all reflect that. Throughout, it’s all about modern luxury—clean lines, marble finishes, and high-end appliances, paired with hardwood floors and fireplaces. There are three bedrooms, but the massive primary suite is clearly superior with terrace access and walk-in closets.
And it’s not just the unit that delivers—the building does too. With a 24/7 doorman and concierge, gym, parking, and pet-friendly amenities, it still manages to feel private, quiet, and lavish—what really makes it stand out.
Just like in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” where Belfort’s money is on full display, this place gives off a swanky, wealthy energy with its glassy presence above the city. Hopefully, in real-life, it hasn’t experienced as much scandal as the film shows and DiCaprio portrayed in his Golden Globe-winning performance.
Boris Fabrikant, Collin Bond, and Jana Adler of Compass share the listing.
