JORDAN BELFORT, Author & The Wolf of Wall Street
In the 1990s, Jordan Belfort built one of the most dynamic and successful sales organizations in Wall
Street history. During that time, he soared to the highest financial heights, earning over $50 million
a year, a feat that coined him the name “The Wolf of Wall Street.” As the owner of Stratton Oakmont,
Belfort employed over 1,000 stockbrokers and raised over $1.5 billion and started more than 30
million-dollar-companies from scratch. He’s acted as a consultant to more than fifty public companies.
Along the way, he succumbed to some of the traps of the high-flying Wall Street lifestyle, going through
a spectacular—and well-publicized—fall from grace. Taking invaluable lessons from the mistakes
he made and the prices he paid, he has re-emerged as a globally recognized potent force behind
extraordinary business success. Jordan’s two international bestselling memoirs, The Wolf of Wall Street
and Catching the Wolf of Wall Street, have been published in over forty countries and translated into
eighteen languages. His life story is currently being turned into a major motion picture, with Leonardo
DiCaprio to star and Martin Scorsese set to direct.
