The height of Belfort’s success – and criminal activity – took place at the sprawling Glen Head property. It’s the real-life setting of many of the film’s most memorable scenes, drawn from Belfort’s own memories. That includes the film’s opening scene, which sees DiCaprio stumbling out of a helicopter and into his home in a drug-induced stupor.
Belfort shared the estate with his then-wife Nadine Macaluso, portrayed in the 2013 film by Margot Robbie. The palatial abode reportedly boasts a two-story foyer and a ballroom-sized living room.

Belfort was convicted of securities fraud in 1998. His 8,706-square-foot home was seized by federal agents and sold off in 2001 to help pay the $110 million bill owed to his fraud victims.
The 2-acre estate includes a heated saltwater pool, a putting green, an outdoor kitchen and even a treehouse. The opulent interiors feature a glass-encased handball court and a wine cellar.

A previous sale in 2018 saw the home go for $2.4 million, according to Zillow records. The former owners spent millions renovating the five-bedroom, DeBellis told The Post.
“They did a complete renovation in and out,” DeBellis said.

The renovations saw the installation of the outdoor kitchen, a pool house and extensive landscaping. The owners maintained some of the original details, Scavo told The Post, including mahogany doors and Belfort’s infamous safe.
“I think the whole idea that Jordan owned it added to the value,” Scavo said, noting its proximity to the area’s famous country club.
The new buyers are planning a renovation of their own, according to the brokers.
Belfort, who remarried in 2021 to Argentine model Cristina Invernizzi, left New York behind long ago. The now-motivational speaker appears to have moved in recent years, according to the Real Deal, from his oceanfront home in Hermosa Beach, California to the equally sunny shores of Miami.
