NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
By day he made thousands one minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could, on drugs, sex, and international globe-trotting. Through 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 and did his bidding, here, in his own inimitable words, is the storyline of the ill-fated genius they called . . .
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET
In the 1990s Jordan Belfort, former kingpin of the notorious investment firm Stratton Oakmont, became one of the very most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on the wild ride from the canyons of Wall Street and into an enormous office on Long Island. Now, in this astounding and hilarious tell-all autobiography, Belfort narrates a story of greed, power, and excess that nobody could invent.
Reputedly the prototype for the film Boiler Room, Stratton Oakmont turned microcap investing into a wickedly lucrative game as Belfort’s hyped-up, coked-out brokers browbeat clients into stock buys that were guaranteed to earn obscene profits—for the home. But an insatiable appetite for debauchery, questionable tactics, and a fateful partnership with a breakout shoe designer named Steve Madden would land Belfort on both sides of the law and into a harrowing darkness all his own.
Through the stormy relationship Belfort shared with his model-wife as they ran a madcap household that included two small children, a full-time staff of twenty-two, a set of bodyguards, and hidden cameras everywhere—even while the SEC and FBI zeroed in on them—to the unbridled hedonism of his office life, here is the extraordinary story of a typical guy who went from hustling Italian ices at sixteen to making vast sums. Until it all came crashing down . . .
