NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Now a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring
Leonardo DiCaprio 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
