Long Island is known for lots of natural beauty, horse racing, wineries, and wealth. One house that is currently on the market was made famous by the movie, The Wolf of Wall Street. The five-acre estate has been listed at $10 million dollars.
According to The New York Post, the mansion is 15,000 square feet, and features paddocks, a riding ring, a 10-stall stable with an apartment and tack room, and an entertainment complex that comes with an in-ground heated, saltwater pool, water, spa, and a raised-bed cook’s garden and equestrian trails.
Mary K. Jacob writes besides being the former home of horse breeding, having 100 horses to their history. But the extravagant property, referred to as the “Gold Coast,” isn’t just home to past horse racing champions, it has a bit of Hollywood history as well.
Several movies and TV series have filmed at the house, including “The Loudest Voice” starring Russell Crowe, Seth McFarlane, Sienna Miller and Naomi Watts and “The Wolf of Wall Street,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie.
Built in 2010, the main residence is made up of six bedrooms and nine bathrooms with an expansive gourmet kitchen, a guest suite, six fireplaces, an office, an elevator and a walk-out basement with a hot tub room. Other amenities include a wet bar and cabana bath. The main residence is made up of three levels and has several terraces and balconies that overlook paddocks. It is just also 45 minutes to the Hamptons and 50 minutes to Manhattan, according to The New Post.
The Wolf of Wall Street is a 2013 American biographical black comedy crime film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Terence Winter, based on the 2007 memoir of the same name by Jordan Belfort. It recounts Belfort’s perspective on his career as a stockbroker in New York City and how his firm, Stratton Oakmont, engaged in rampant corruption and fraud on Wall Street, which ultimately led to his downfall.
Jordan Ross Belfort is a Bronx born entrepreneur, speaker, author, former stockbroker, and felon. In 1999, he pleaded guilty to fraud and related crimes in connection with stock-market manipulation and running a boiler room as part of a penny-stock scam. Belfort spent 22 months in prison as part of an agreement under which he gave testimony against numerous partners and subordinates in his fraud scheme.
Belfort founded Stratton Oakmont as a franchise of Stratton Securities, then later bought out the original founder. Stratton Oakmont functioned as a boiler room that marketed penny stocks and defrauded investors with “pump and dump” stock sales. During the height of his debauchery and crimes, he was a known drug addict and addicted to the once popular Quaaludes
