'Wolf of Wall Street' Subject Jordan Belfort's Former Mansion Sells for A Small Fortune
If you’ve seen The Wolf of Wall Street, you’re familiar with the controversial financial scammer Jordan Belfort‘s Long Island mansion — or at least, the fictional version of it. Multiple parts of the 2013 film, directed by Martin Scorsese, took place in the home, including scenes between Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie.
Belfort was forced to move out of the mansion in 2001 and sell it (more on that, below), and since then, the home has gone through some major renovations. Now, the home has sold yet again, for a much higher price than it’s gone for in the past. Read on to learn all about this house, its recent sale, and its history as Belfort’s home.

The home in question, located in Glen Head, Long Island, was quietly scooped up by a couple from Staten Island for $6.85 million. Real estate broker Joe Scavo of Douglas Elliman represented the sale of the unlisted home, and shared the news with The Real Deal.

Scavo had originally planned to list the home publicly. But then, as he explained to the outlet, “As the buyer was explaining to me what they really wanted, it dawned on me. I told them right then and there, ‘I have what you’re looking for.'”
Belfort’s former 8,700-square-foot mansion currently boasts five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a gym, a wine cellar, and a racquetball court. Outside, there is a three-car garage, a treehouse, an outdoor kitchen, a putting green, a heated saltwater pool, a pool house, lush landscaping, and a three-car garage, according to various sources.
Jordan Belfort’s Long Island Mansion Has a Rich History
According to Traded, Belfort and his former wife Nadine Macaluso (who inspired Margot Robbie’s The Wolf of Wall Street character Naomi) lived in the house during the 1990s, along with their two children. The home was built in 1986.
Belfort was first arrested for his financial crimes in 1998, per People; it wasn’t until 2001 that federal authorities seized the Glen Head mansion. The government then sold the home to help pay the many millions of dollars that Belfort had been ordered to pay his fraud victims, per the New York Post. At the time, the home sold for about $2.5 million, according to Zillow records.
The home changed hands again in April 2018, when it was purchased for about $3.1 million; it was purchased again in October 2018 for $2.4 million.

Since then, the home has undergone extensive renovations, helping bring the price up to the nearly $9 million that it sold for this year. “I think the whole idea that Jordan owned it added to the value,” Scavo told the New York Post, adding that the latest buyers plan to execute their own renovations.
