Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and
starring Leonardo DiCaprio
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it
as fast as he could. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor
yacht and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids waiting
at home and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who
called him king, here, in Jordan Belfort's own words, is the story
of the ill-fated genius they called the Wolf of Wall Street. In the
1990s, Belfort became one of the most infamous kingpins in American
finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob
on a wild ride out of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long
Island. It's an extraordinary story of greed, power, and excess
that no one could invent: the tale of an ordinary guy who went from
hustling Italian ices to making hundreds of millions--until it all
came crashing down.
Praise for The Wolf of Wall Street
Raw and frequently hilarious.--The New York Times
A rollicking tale of Jordan Belfort's] rise to riches as head of
the infamous boiler room Stratton Oakmont . . . proof that there
are indeed second acts in American lives.--Forbes
A cross between Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities and
Scorsese's GoodFellas . . . Belfort has the Midas touch.--The
Sunday Times (London)
Entertaining as pulp fiction, real as a federal indictment . . . a
hell of a read.--Kirkus Reviews
