VoiceNation ranks the most expensive fictional offices from film and TV
Since 2002, VoiceNation has provided call answering services and recently undertook a study to analyze the yearly rental expenses of iconic fictional offices featured in films and TV shows. The research involved pinpointing the actual locations of these offices, assessing rental rates per square foot in those regions, estimating employee numbers through LinkedIn based on comparable real businesses, and calculating costs per employee (assuming 100 square feet per individual) along with average equipment costs. The priciest offices include: 30 Rock (NBC's 30 Rockefeller Plaza) at $14,325,300 annually, The Wolf of Wall Street at $10,366,694, and The Bold Type at $9,829,433.
