In the 1990s Jordon Belfort became one of the most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper.


He was the 'Wolf of Wall Street', whose life of greed, power and excess was so outrageous it could only be true no one could make this up! But the day Jordan was arrested and taken away in handcuffs was not the end of the madness.


CATCHING THE WOLF OF WALL STREET tells of what happened next. After getting out of jail on $10 million bail he had to choose whether to plead guilty and act as a government witness or fight the charges and see his wife charged as well. He cooperated.


With his trademark brash, brazen and thoroughly unputdownable storytelling, Jordan details more incredible true tales of fortunes made and lost, money-making schemes, parties, sex, drugs, marriage, divorce and prison.

Jordan Belfort

Jordan Belfort was born in Queens, New York. He hustled ices to put himself through college, showing early entrepreneurial flair. His first business sent him bankrupt at twenty-four so he went down to Wall St with $100 in his pocket and ended up building one of the largest brokerages in America - the now infamous Stratton Oakmont.

A hard partying lifestyle ended in crash and burn. Ultimately indicted by the federal government, Belfort served twenty-two months in prison, and time in rehab. He's now a highly successful motivational speaker. His story is being made into a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Martin Scorsese. He is currently living in Los Angeles.
