In 2003, Jordan Belfort pleaded guilty to money laundering and securities fraud. He was sentenced to four years in prison and ordered to pay back $119 million to investors. Before this grand comeuppance, the Stratton Oakmont executive was king of the hill -- a Wall Street wonder boy, a multimillionaire at 26. This brash young man was also a hard partier and playboy, a globe-trotting cocaine addict who crashed a Gulfstream jet and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab. The Wolf of Wall Street describes the rise and fall of a crooked American entrepreneur who somehow lived to tell the story.

His story captures the American Dream, from Jordan starting out dirt-poor with $13 to his name, to owning a billion dollar a year brokerage firm. Not to mention his crazy stories, like sinking a 170 foot yacht! Or ...

What an entertaining read. Jordan Belfort has done it all to the point of madness! From Wall Street to addictions, family, friends and illegal activity, this candid story of his rise and fall leaves nothing to the imagination. One might say that his account is over-the-top, but when you have million...
I feel like this book was really strong around when I got 3/4 of the way into it. As if that's where either the author hit his stride or he had actually started out with that story and wrote to then end and then went back around and wrote the beginning. The first three-fourths of the book was really...
