6.85 million was paid for the Glen Head, Long Island mansion that once belonged to Jordan Belfort, the real‑life “Wolf of Wall Street.” The property was sold off‑market, with the sellers represented by Douglas Elliman’s Joe Scavo and the buyers—a Long Island couple—handled by ReMax Elite’s Kerry DeBellis.

    Belfort’s 8,706‑square‑foot estate, which sits on two acres, was the backdrop for many scenes in Martin Scorsese’s 2013 film. The house features a two‑story foyer, a ballroom‑sized living room, a heated saltwater pool, a putting green, an outdoor kitchen, a treehouse, a glass‑encased handball court, and a wine cellar. The original mahogany doors and Belfort’s infamous safe were preserved during the extensive renovations that cost the former owners millions.

    The house was seized by federal agents in 2001 after Belfort’s 1998 securities‑fraud conviction, and the sale that year helped satisfy his $110 million restitution. A 2018 sale fetched $2.4 million, according to Zillow. The new owners plan their own renovation, though details are still pending.

    Belfort, who married Argentine model Cristina Invernizzi in 2021, left New York long ago. The former stockbroker, now a motivational speaker, reportedly moved from his Hermosa Beach, California, oceanfront home to Miami’s sunny shores.

    The sale underscores the enduring allure of the property, whose association with Belfort and the film has added to its value, especially given its proximity to the area’s prestigious country club.
