The site's browser studied the biography of Jordan Belfort, who became famous for his ingenious fraudulent schemes for earning money, big expenses and risky entertainment. Belfort has written two books about his life, which Martin Scorsese made into a film, released in 2013.

The name of Jordan Belfort is now known all over the world, but not primarily because of his reputation or memorable nickname, but thanks to the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Certainly the film contains artistic exaggeration, But Hollywood screenwriters managed to convey the spirit of that time and the personality of the entrepreneur himself. Jordan did not set out to change the world for the better, but he seemed to sincerely believe that he could make his life and the lives of his employees brighter and richer.

The Early Years of Jordan Belfort. First business and work as a broker

Jordan Belfort did not dream of becoming a broker all his life - before that he had to go a long way. He was born in 1962 in New York in a family of accountants. Not much is known about Belfort's childhood, but, apparently, he already demonstrated the ability of a salesman even then. For example, it is known that from the age of 17 he sold ice cream on the beach in the summer, before purchasing it at a piece-rate price. On the day he earned from $250 to $500.

At eighteen, Belfort had another small business- sale of shell necklaces. His profit was $ 200 a day, and this is when you consider that he paid the salary of three workers - boys a little younger than himself. During the day, the total income from the two enterprises reached an impressive amount.

After high school, Jordan earned a degree in biology from American University. He then enrolled at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery as a dentist, but only lasted a day at the school. The fact is that the dean, during his welcoming speech to the students, noticed that better times dentistry has passed and now this profession rarely makes someone rich, except that it guarantees a comfortable life. Belfort immediately lost motivation and dropped out of college.

At 23, Belfort decided to start his own business. Knowing about his own abilities as a seller, he began to sell meat, moving from house to house in turn. At first he worked for a company, and then, together with a friend, he started his own business selling meat and seafood. They expanded target audience from private customers to restaurants and other larger establishments.

The company did not achieve much success, in 1987 Jordan even thought of closing it. But then he learned that suppliers agree to provide products on credit. Belfort decided to expand, leasing 26 trucks and also getting some loans. According to another version, he took out several loans at 24% per annum to buy trucks.

After these operations, the company turned out to be deeply unprofitable, but Belfort was not worried: suppliers were waiting for payments at the end of the month, and he received the money from sales every day. Deftly manipulating funds, Belfort simultaneously tried to pay less bills. Sometimes he even told suppliers directly that they had better agree to a part of the amount and an increase in the loan, otherwise the money would not be returned.

It could not go on like this for a long time, and the company went bankrupt, and Belfort himself was deeply in debt. He received threatening phone calls from creditors ranging from American Express to the telephone company.

Another person in a similar situation could lose his temper, but Belfort began to look for a way out. He decided to become a broker. Wall Street looked like a place of money, and Jordan was a great salesman. Under the patronage of a family friend, he went for an interview at Rothschild L.F., which had been on the market since 1899. The company has nothing to do with the Rothschild clan, just the founder was their namesake.

In addition to Belfort, there were more than 20 candidates in the interview, so he had to figure out how to impress. Stephen Schwartz, who interviewed Jordan, was taken aback by a candidate who tried to sell him shares. No other applicant dared to be so bold, so Belfort made the right impression and got a job as a dialer. This maneuver largely predetermined the further promotion of Belford in the company: they paid attention to it from the very beginning of work.

The first day of Belfort's work was perfectly described by himself in his autobiography and reproduced by the director in the film. The boss, named Scott, in a contemptuous manner, explained to the new employee his duties - to dial potential customers and hand the phone to the boss. Then Belfort met Mark Hanna, who gave him advice on improving performance and relaxation - drugs, services lung girls behavior and self-satisfaction. Incidentally, Hannah would later work for Belfort's Stratton-Oakmont.

Despite the first shock of how working on Wall Street looks like in reality, from obscene expressions to lifestyle, Jordan quickly got involved in this life and received a brokerage license within six months.

His first working day as a broker was on October 19, 1987 - the so-called Black Monday, when the Dow Jones fell by a record 22.6%. The event affected Belfort and he had to change several companies. According to Forbes, among them were D. H. Blair and F. D. Roberts Securities.

The latest was Investors Center, a relatively small company with fewer than 1,000 employees that traded "junk stocks." Their cost was no more than $5 (in some sources, less than $1), but brokers received up to 50% commission.

Belfort, despite initial skepticism, quickly joined the team and began to earn $ 70 thousand a week. It was not possible to work here for a long time: Investors Center in 1989 by decision of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

One of Belfort's first company calls, so vividly portrayed in Scorsese's film, was a bit of a curiosity. Jordan attempted to sell half a million dollars worth of stock to a hatter with an income of $30,000 a year. But this client did not leave him either: Belfort convinced him to buy shares for the amount available to him.

Creation of Stratton-Oakmont. Sales approach and earning strategy

The closure of the Investors Center was the start of Belford's own business. In 1989, they formed Stratton-Oakmont with Danny Porush and Kenneth Green. The name was franchised from Stratton-Securities, which had been in the market for about 10 years but was strictly institutional. The choice was due to the relatively small size of the company and an unsullied reputation.

Initially, Belfort received 70% of the created company, and Green - 30%. Porush became a shareholder a few years later and got about 20%. Stratton office most during its existence was on Long Island.

It is worth dwelling on how Belfort at first selected his staff. He knew how to impress people, and his first employees and associates were connected with the past undertakings of the entrepreneur. For example, Green worked as a driver for the Belfort Meat Company and later for the Investors Center. Porush was Jordan's trainee and lived next door to him. Another of Belfort's first partners was Andrew Green, who had nothing to do with Kenneth. Unlike the others, he was a trained lawyer and childhood friend of Jordan. Green headed the finance department.

In 2013, Martin Scorsese released The Wolf of Wall Street, a film that tells the story of real person- Broker Jordan Belfort, who short period time became rich by several hundred million dollars. The role of the swindler Belfort was brilliantly played by Leonardo DiCaprio. The work of the actor was noted by members of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - Leo was nominated for an Oscar. Jordan Belfort himself acted as the ideological inspirer of the tape, because it was based on the book of his memoirs "The Wolf of Wall Street".


Jordan Ross Belfort was born July 9, 1962 in The Bronx, New York, USA. Jewish family. His parents Max and Leah Belfort worked as accountants, later Leah became a lawyer. Jordan's childhood was spent in Bayside, a suburb of New York. Belfort discovered his entrepreneurial spirit quite early: after graduating from high school, he and his close friend Elliot Loewenstern made $20,000 selling a dessert called "Italian ice" on the beach.

Despite a clear interest in economics, Jordan entered the American University of Washington with a degree in biology. Belfort received a diploma in this specialty, but in the field of dentistry, which he briefly studied at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, he did not succeed. Jordan's interest in the profession faded after the dean of the college said that the "golden age" of dentistry was over, and now you can't make much money in this business. And Belfort dreamed of exactly this - to earn a lot, without making much effort for this.



Jordan took his first steps in business in Long Island, New York. He opened a meat and seafood outlet, and the business flourished at first. However, sales subsequently fell sharply, the point had to be closed, and 25-year-old Belfort declared himself bankrupt. A family friend helped him get a job as a trainee broker at L.F. Rothschild. On October 19, 1987, there was a collapse of large stock exchanges around the world, which went down in history as Black Monday. After these events, Jordan was fired from L.F. Rothschild, because his services were no longer needed.


In the late 1980s, Belfort founded Stratton Oakmont, an "over-the-counter" brokerage house that worked by selling shares over the phone. Employees of the company, through deceit and cunning, convinced customers to sell them shares at a low price, which they then sold for a lot of money. The process of easy money quickly corrupted Jordan: at that time he attended many parties, regularly took alcohol and drugs, and was thoroughly addicted to methaqualone, a sleeping pill and sedative, the use of which in large quantities leads to drug intoxication.

Over the years, Stratton Oakmont has grown in momentum. In the 90s, the staff expanded to more than a thousand people, and the cash flow of financial transactions amounted to over a billion dollars. This rapid enrichment attracted the attention of the FBI, and Belfort and company began to be followed. In 1998, the company's fraudulent activities were uncovered, and Jordan Belfort was sentenced to four years in prison, but released on bail of 20 million, subject to house arrest. In exchange for cooperation with the FBI, his sentence was reduced to 22 months in prison. The court ordered Belfort to pay $110.4 million to all clients he fraudulently persuaded to sell shares in Stratton Oakmont.


In prison, Jordan made a significant acquaintance with actor and musician Tommy Chong, a member of the famous comedy duo Cheech and Chong, who was serving a sentence for selling drug equipment. It was Chong who, having heard Belfort's story, advised him to write a book of memoirs, which later gained immense popularity and became the basis for the film The Wolf of Wall Street. After their release, Jordan and Tommy continue to maintain friendly relations.

Belfort has been married twice. His first wife was Denise Lombardo, with whom he was married from 1985 to 1991. Jordan left his wife after he quickly began to get rich, and also after meeting the British model Nadine Caridi, whom he married in the same 1991. From his marriage to Caridi, he had two children - daughter Chandler and son Carter James. Belfort and Karidi divorced in 2005 after the woman's statements about domestic violence and betrayal of her husband. Despite this, Jordan was actively involved in raising children, and now that Chandler and Carter have matured, he continues to maintain a relationship with them.

Federal prosecutors said Jordan Belfort has not yet met the terms of the compensation. According to the decree, he must pay half of his income to 1,513 people who were affected by his fraud. Jordan returned only about 12 million of the prescribed 110, and it is not known how he is going to return the remaining amount. The maturities of the debt have not been disclosed, but authorities have yet to place Belfort in custody.

After his release, the "wolf of Wall Street" began to lead seminars, acting as a motivational speaker. The main theme of his speeches Belfort refers to the art of entrepreneurship and making money, but the audience is more interested in the process of its illegal enrichment. To numerous questions about his past and the illegal activities of Stratton Oakmont, Jordan responds by saying that, for the most part, he regrets what he was at that time.

He publicly admitted that greed killed him, and the feeling of impunity reached such a level that it seemed to him that there would be no punishment for the committed scams. The resounding collapse of the firm and the need to turn over most of his partners to the feds changed Belfort's attitude to life. Many people are interested in the fate of Jordan, in particular, how and when he will repay the rest of the debt, and whether the continued non-payment of the set amount will result in new restrictions on freedom.

He reached incredible financial heights, earning over $500 million a year. And for his services he received in professional circles the nickname "Wolf of Wall Street." He is Jordan Belfort, who founded one of the most dynamic and successful brokerages in Wall Street history.

Jordan Belfort grew up on Long Island, New York, in a Jewish family of accountants and received a good upbringing. Before starting a brokerage firm, he sold popsicles to regular beachgoers at an incredibly inflated price. Shortly thereafter, he entered college at American University and then attended dental college for only one day, deciding that this path would not lead him to prosperity.

Instead, he started a meat and seafood business and dreamed of becoming rich. “I was pretty talented. But the profits were small.".

After becoming a top-notch salesman, he began trading small stocks at the Investor Center. Having achieved success in this business, he acquired a small company, Stratton Securities, which, during certain period time, engaged in lawful activities. Then he succumbed to greed and began to use the classic pump and dump scheme, selling artificially inflated stocks to investors.

He hired young salesmen and told them "not to hang up the phone until the client has agreed to the deal or is dead."

As CEO of Stratton Oakmont, Belfort has hired more than 1,000 stockbrokers and raised more than $1 billion in investments to launch 30 start-up companies.

By defrauding his clients, Belfort was making $50 million a year.

“I would be able to earn 10 times more by carrying out such operations in a legal way, and this is the whole paradox. If you look at the companies that went bankrupt during the crisis, for the most part they were doing legitimate business. Only a small component of their business was supported by greed and the desire for short-term profits. Ultimately, they made a lot of money in a short period of time, but then it all came crashing down. This is exactly the situation that happened to me.

Personally, I had to pay for it high price… I lost my family, my freedom (I spent 22 months in prison), my self-respect – I almost killed myself because of my addiction to drugs.”

Luxury has come naturally to Belfort. His children attended the most prestigious schools. The Wolf had it all: from high-rise apartments in Manhattan to a luxurious mansion on Long Island. The 256-foot superyacht he subsequently damaged on the coast of Italy, the Ferrari Testarossa car, the house in the Hamptons are just some of his toys.

Nadine Belfort, Jordan's second wife, whom he married after divorcing his first wife, Denise, was incredible. She was completely devoted to him. Nadine supported Jordan even when he was partying, drinking and abusing drugs. But she left him after he threw her down a flight of stairs in their house while intoxicated. Ultimately, Nadine married a lawyer and moved to California with two children from Jordan.

There are positives to this story as well. Belfort wasn't just pumping and dumping stocks and defrauding investors. He also helped make one of today's most iconic fashion companies, Steve Madden, publicly tradeable. In addition, he made sure that his friends were treated properly and sponsored their own brokerage companies when the time was right.

The people who worked at Stratton were like mad dogs ready to do anything for the sake of quick earnings. Belfort claims he did not hire employees who were already brokers or had a good education because they knew too much. Instead, he hired people with high school diplomas and teenagers who wanted to earn huge amounts of money. After all, it was obvious that they would be betrayed by the "golden calf." A cult of sorts has formed around the company. Its employees were even nicknamed "Strattonites" (in honor of the Stratton company).

The Strattonites had fun full program. Dwarf tossing parties were commonplace in the office, as were prostitutes, drugs, and feasts that left the restaurants in ruins.

At the time, Belfort frequently laundered money into Switzerland through several intermediaries. The arrest of one of them was the beginning of the end for Belfort. FBI agents showed up at his doorstep and took him to jail. It was a steep fall.

While awaiting trial and sentencing, Belfort proved himself to be an informer, recording the speeches of several friends and former colleagues, in the hope of reducing the sentence.

Belfort was sentenced to four years in prison, as was his business partner and friend Danny Porush. However, due to good behavior, consultations with a narcologist and stay in a hostel for people released from places of detention, he actually spent about two years in prison.

The court also ordered him to pay a fine of $110 million (which he defrauded his clients of) and his gross monthly income would be reduced by 50% until he paid the fine in full.

Like many other Wall Street criminals, Belfort did not have to deal with the usual "prison population". After a week in solitary confinement, he was placed in a forced labor camp general regime, which had tennis courts, a library, and various physical activities that he could enjoy. It was at this time that he lived in the same room with the scandalously famous actor and drug addict Tonny Chong, who encouraged him to write a book about his life.

After his release from prison, he wrote a book called The Wolf of Wall Street, a fascinating account of his life while managing Stratton-Oakmont.

“Why am I telling you all this? Because I want you to know who I really am and, more importantly, who I am not. And also because I have two children and one day I will have to explain a lot to them. I will have to explain how it happened that their loving daddy - the same daddy who now takes them to football, goes to parent meetings, sits at home on a Friday night and in no time can build them a Caesar salad - was once such a vile type.

The continuation of the story of how he betrayed his colleagues and served a prison term has already been released - the book "Catch the Wolf of Wall Street."

Now Jordan Belfort is a completely different person. At least he himself claims so. Currently, he lives in Los Angeles to be closer to his two children.

He is sure that his life is a cautionary tale for everyone, and Hollywood agrees with this. The famous American director Martin Scorsese decided to make the film "The Wolf of Wall Street" based on the story of Jordan Belfort, approving the main role of Leonardo DiCaprio. The film premiered in December 2013. Who knows, perhaps the businessmen of our time will also learn from this story.

“In no way am I encouraging you to give up the idea of ​​​​making a lot of money, just don’t follow my example ... Money is just a tool, but at that moment they got the better of me, which should not have been allowed. In this life, it's not all about money."

Today, Jordan Belfort is a success coach and shares his invaluable knowledge with people, enabling everyone to embark on the right path to creating wealth, rich life and entrepreneurial success without compromising ethical standards and moral laws.

Jordan Belfort is a man who has been among the financial elite of the world, quickly flew out of it and, no less unexpectedly for everyone, found himself at the very top of the notion of material success. Much is known about his life thanks to the Oscar-winning film The Wolf of Wall Street. But not everyone knows that this stock broker became the prototype for the brilliant game of Leonardo DiCaprio. Thirst for money, wild life and shady schemes - this is the essence of the old wolf. But now it's a completely different person. He overestimated his life so dramatically that now he is the idol of many thousands of people around the world as a business coach and just strong personality. I wonder how Jordan lives and how he developed further fate? Find out from our article.

The Beginning of Jordan's Journey

Jordan Ross Belfort was born in New York to a Jewish family. His father Max and mother Leah were ordinary accountants. Their only son already in early childhood aspired to have his own capital. Apparently, his parents laid in his mind the ability to handle money. So, as a child, he realized that he wanted to become rich.

Since the age of eight, Jordan has always had pocket money. At the age of ten, he earned money by clearing snow. And at the age of 12, a smart young man arranged magic shows, where he demonstrated various tricks to the public. IN adolescence he mastered the basics of trade - he sold ice cream on the beach at a greatly inflated price, and most importantly, that he was bought. The gift of persuasion, artistry and determination are the qualities that helped him in later life achieve financial success.

How did Jordan Belfort make his first million? The biography says that this person with early childhood loved money, and money loved him. But this did not happen immediately and not entirely honestly. And before he experienced both need and disappointment.

How the stock exchange appeared in his life

Jordan Belfort approached the choice of profession consciously, because he wanted to master the specialty of money. So he ended up at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. However, after the dean's speech that its heyday had long passed and it would not work to get rich quickly, Jordan dropped out of school.

Since then, Belfort has been involved in the meat and seafood trade and has been very successful in this business. At 23, he owned a freight delivery network with a weekly turnover of about 5 tons. Then the start-up businessman went bankrupt after 2 years due to lack of personal capital and insufficient investment.

Having drank the experience of running his own business, Belfort learns about the possibility of selling shares of other companies. Here the risks and investments seemed to him minimal at that time. And in 1987, he began to intensively master the brokerage business.

Stratton Oakmont era

Jordan Belfort began his trading career in a semi-legal firm. The company was engaged in unpromising start-ups that were not of interest to investors. The share price fluctuated between $2 and $5. But the seller's commission was 50%. Very quickly he reached high income. At the same time, deceived depositors remained with broken trough because these shares were worthless. Very soon became interested in the company public service USA - SEC regulator.

So at the age of 27, the young broker gave up searching new job, and he himself became the founder of a company selling cheap shares. Along with a friend, Kenneth Green, Jordan bought a franchise from Stratton Securities. His first office was in a warehouse. For 5 months of trading, Belfort and his friend achieved unthinkable results - the dealers completely bought out the company for 250 thousand dollars. Later, they created the Stratton Oakmont brand and moved to the level of more solvent customers.

The company began recruiting and training more and more new employees. The firm grew, and zeros in the average check of transactions were added. Jordan invited to the state only those people who had no previous idea about stock trading. These were people with secondary education, who were united by the desire to earn good money. He himself made successful brokers out of them, teaching them effective sales techniques.

Thanks to the crazy conversion of such aggressive trading, the number of employees of the company reached 1000 people. The median earnings of a broker at Stratton Oakmont was $85,000 per year.

The failure of trading activities

Very soon, Jordan Belfort found himself under close attention the public, big businessmen and investigating authorities. An article appeared in Forbes magazine in which he was dubbed the stock exchange Robin Hood, who takes money from the rich and divides it between himself and his employees.

The activities of Stratton Oakmont were carefully checked by employees of the SEC regulator, but no serious violations were identified. But the Securities Commissioner continued to receive complaints from the company's ruined investors. Then the FBI agents were involved in the investigation. Interrogations of employees and surveillance began.

1998 was a fatal year for Belfort. All fraudulent schemes were uncovered, and he was charged with 27 counts of fraud. The FBI located more than 1,500 victims of his activities and calculated more than $110 million in damages.

Jordan faced 20 years in prison. He posted a $20 million bail to remain under house arrest during the trial. The broker made a deal with the authorities and denounced most of his colleagues. Then they went to commute the sentence - 4 years, of which he actually spent less than 2 years in prison. He was also obliged to pay huge compensation to all the victims.

Jordan Ross Belfort: personal life

Little is known about Jordan's first wife. Married to Denise Lombardo, no heirs appeared. The couple went through financial hardship together initial stage Belfort's career. Later Denise did not accept wild image life, and on the basis of these differences they parted.

A luxurious life in all the madness was shared with him by his second wife, model Nadine Caridi. In 1991, they get married, and from this marriage, Jordan has two children - daughter Chandler and son Carter James. She was purchased by Jordan Belfort, a luxurious three-deck yacht. The wife became the owner of the ship, once built for Coco Chanel. During this period, the family bathes in money and does not deny itself anything.

The beginning of the end happened in 1998, when Nadine was also threatened with indictment from the FBI. The wife decided to put a fat point in their relationship after the incident with her little daughter - Jordan tried to take her in a state of drug intoxication from home and crashed into a pole. Fortunately, the baby was not injured, and Belfort was sent to rehab. Finally, their painful divorce ended in 2005.

Today Belfort supports wholeheartedly warm relationship with kids. His heirs are educated at the most prestigious educational institutions in the United States. Jordan's motivation for writing his autobiography was a desire to tell his children his life story first.

Set free as a new man

After serving his sentence, Belfort totally overestimated his whole life. He realized that money is not the main thing. Also, don't give up. For 22 months Belfort lived in captivity, but did not despair. In prison, he met actor Tommy Chong. It was Tommy who gave the idea that Jordan Belfort would write and publish books about his busy life for a wide audience. He mercilessly tore many drafts of his autobiography while in the cell. But when Jordan was released, several publishers were interested in these books. They were the first step towards starting a new life.

Who is the Wolf of Wall Street

"Wolf" moved to an ethical method of sales. He built all his knowledge into a system and now travels the world with trainings. The former broker has become a successful coach and earns even more honestly than in the days of dirty deals.

Film by Martin Scorsese

Based on Jordan Belfort's autobiography, The Wolf of Wall Street, Scorsese made a film of the same name. This picture collected huge box office and received many film awards. main role played by Leonardo DiCaprio. To get used to the role, the actor needed to communicate very closely with Belfort. Outside of filming, they remained good friends.

"Sex, money, drugs" - this vicious kaleidoscope was brought to life on the screen by the director. Jordan himself highly appreciated his work and noted the plausibility of the scenes, especially the reckless drinking. Despite this, its popularity in wide circles only increased. For many, he became the idol of our time. Scorsese himself did not give value judgments of his past, he simply showed how such a lifestyle could end.

Jordan Belfort in Moscow with training

Belfort's fame also spread to Russia. The coach visited the capital in October 2015. This sales guru held an author's seminar in Luzhniki. The average ticket price was 17,500 rubles. And the first rows did fork out for 180,000 rubles. But at the exit, all participants were promised to be given a sales technique with which to convince the Eskimos to buy snow. While this system works for the benefit of the millionaire himself, so there is no doubt about its effectiveness.

Basics of selling from the "wolf"

Briefly describe what the Jordan Belfort system is, then this is the client's persuasion in two directions. First, when selling a product, you need to logically and consistently present its characteristics. For example, you trade "Ferrari". Make the client fall in love with your product and prove that this car is the perfect combination of price and quality. Then you need to connect your feelings - take a test drive and let the client dream up how he will ride in this car with beauties along the ocean coast. In this case, the seller must follow the rules of the game:

  1. Grow success in your head. It is necessary not only to set goals, but also to visualize your future.
  2. You need to believe that your product is the best.
  3. Become an expert and behave accordingly.

This is only a small part of the ideas for which Belfort fell in love with the public. However, other experts are skeptical that all this can be read in any book on sales, and there is nothing sensational in his training.

Success despite criticism

Everyone has it successful person there are critics, in this regard, Jordan Belfort himself was no exception. Quotes from his books "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Catching the Wolf of Wall Street" became popular expressions despite all the negativity towards him. "No one can be too rich or too thin," he writes in his memoirs. Or: "People don't buy stocks, people sell stocks."

For skeptics, Jordan's past plays a significant role. He received his first millions not in the most honest way, for which he was responsible in prison. From the film, people know about his drug addiction and cynical entertainment. Therefore, many treat this person with a share of irony and do not take it seriously. Be that as it may, Jordan Belfort is a human brand that has thousands of followers around the world.
