An Instagram Celeb Lists His South Florida House for $4.2 Million
After three years of ownership, Josh Ostrovsky is ready to offload his coastal oasis in South Florida’s tony Miami Shores enclave, just minutes from downtown Miami. Records show the social media influencer-turned-canned wine mogul—known to his 9.5 million Instagram fans as “The Fat Jewish”—has hoisted the midcentury-modern house up for sale at $4.25 million, or nearly double the $2.5 million he and wife Caitlin King paid for the place a little over three years ago, in summer 2021.
Originally designed by noted architect Joseph J. DeBrita and completed in 1950, the sprawling white stucco and stone-accented structure rests amid an angled corner parcel spanning nearly half an acre. Recently renovated, the so-called Panorama House offers five bedrooms and an equal number of baths in a little more than 3,800 square feet of two-level living space boasting terrazzo floors and wood-beam ceilings.

Highlights include a living room displaying a stacked-stone fireplace and a bar, plus a dining area with glass doors opening out to a vast hexagon-shaped loggia featuring a newly installed barbecue station. Also standing out is the sleekly designed Italian kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island and top-tier appliances, as well as a primary suite that comes complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath sporting a steam shower and a floating vanity with dual sinks.
Elsewhere is a separate guest suite, along with a large window-lined flex space that’s currently being used as a screening/recreation room. In addition to the aforementioned loggia, the landscaped grounds also host a 42-foot pool with a Baja shelf. Per the listing, which is shared by George Burns and David Pullman of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, there’s also a two-car garage and plenty of room for a tennis/pickleball court.
According to the New York Post, the couple is selling because Ostrovsky doesn’t want to be a homeowner anymore. “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 he could land anywhere after this.”
Born in New York City and previously dubbed by Time magazine as one of “The 30 Most Influential People on the Internet,” Ostrovsky is probably best known for his risqué memes and viral videos. But he also co-founded a canned wine brand that was acquired in 2019 by beverage giant Anheuser-Busch in what was the company’s largest wine investment ever made at the time.
