After three years of ownership, Josh Ostrovsky is ready to sell his coastal retreat in Miami Shores, a prestigious area just minutes from downtown Miami. Known to his 9.5 million Instagram followers as “The Fat Jewish,” the social media influencer and canned wine entrepreneur is listing the midcentury-modern home for $4.25 million—nearly double the $2.5 million he and his wife Caitlin King paid for it in the summer of 2021.
Designed by renowned architect Joseph J. DeBrita and completed in 1950, the expansive white stucco and stone-accented house sits on a nearly half-acre corner lot. Recently renovated, the Panorama House features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and over 3,800 square feet of two-story living space with terrazzo floors and wood-beam ceilings. Highlights include a living room with a stacked-stone fireplace and bar, a dining area with glass doors leading to a large hexagon-shaped loggia with a new barbecue station, and a sleek Italian kitchen with an eat-in island and high-end appliances. The primary suite boasts a walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom with a steam shower and floating vanity with dual sinks.
Additional amenities include a separate guest suite, a window-lined flex space used as a screening/recreation room, a 42-foot pool with a Baja shelf, and a two-car garage with potential space for a tennis or pickleball court. George Burns and David Pullman of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty are handling the listing. According to the New York Post, Ostrovsky is selling because he no longer wants to deal with the responsibilities of homeownership. “It’s a lot of work, with landscaping and all, and he’s coming from New York and not used to it,” Burns told the media outlet. “Maybe he’ll find another deal, but he’s a very transient person and could end up anywhere.”
Ostrovsky, a New York City native and former Time magazine “30 Most Influential People on the Internet” honoree, is widely recognized for his provocative memes and viral videos. He also co-founded a canned wine brand that was acquired by Anheuser-Busch in 2019 in what was the company’s largest wine investment at that time.
