For anyone yet to put it together, the palatial pad belongs to 44-year-old actor Jeremy Strong and his wife Emma Wall.
In the drama, the actor played Kendall Roy (pictured in his apartment), the son of media mogul Logan Roy, who competes with his siblings for the crown of CEO of their father’s media conglomerate.
The on-screen star won an Emmy in 2020 as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role in Succession β but also claimed a second trophy after the show won Outstanding Drama Series earlier this year.
He won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series for the HBO hit in 2021.
Strong’s SAG Awards were presented for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Motion Picture at The Trial of the Chicago 7 in 2021 and he earned his second – for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series – for Succession in 2022.
Strong and his wife Emma Wall, a psychiatrist and documentary filmmaker, purchased the property for $1.6 million in 2019, according to property records.
The couple, who tied the knot in a castle in Denmark in 2016, have three young daughters together: Ingrid, Clara and a third daughter whose name has not been shared.

In 2021, a profile in The New Yorker revealed that the actor doesn’t view the show, which was written by Peep Show brains Jesse Armstrong, as a comedy and that he also refused to break character on set.
After widespread uproar and ridicule over the comments, his co-stars had plenty to say about his views and even the way his acting affected their performances, which according to producer Adam McKay was “the reason he was cast.”
Of his role as Kendall, Strong said, βFor me, the stakes are life and death. I take him as seriously as I take my own life.β
