Introduction
Jordan Belfort, often called the Wolf of Wall Street, from his previous books, lifestyle, business and now film, was born to accountant parents Max and Lear Belfort in 1962. Jordan is renowned for founding a stock broking firm on Wall Street during the 1990s, Stratton Oakmont, although, Jordan's company was based on Long Island not Wall Street. His sales methods, and his passion to become famous and rich, led him to establish Stratton Oakmont; which was a firm that sold inexperienced investors valueless stocks, and deserted them once the stocks plummeted. This business made him serve a 22-month jail term and indemnification payments to the people he defrauded. While running Stratton Oakmont, he made over $1 billion dollars from the over 1,000 loyal employees he contracted to do the penny stocks sales to investors. Both he and his staff became wealthy quickly, and enjoyed the trappings of their success; taking drugs and partying non stop.
Activity after Jail
Publications
While serving his purportedly 4 years jail term, which became only 22 months after collaborating with the authorities on his case, Jordan was lucky, or otherwise, to share a jail room with Tommy Chong, serving his 9 months time after a sentence of selling drug paraphernalia online. Tommy inspired Jordan to make his life's story a book, after listening much of what went down in Jordan's life. Jordan wrote two books, The Wolf of Wall Street and Catching the Wolf of Wall Street, which have earned him millions of dollars. As well as the publications, one of his titles has been adapted into a film with the same name, The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo Dicaprio.
Speaking at Business Events
No one can deny that Jordan is a clever man, he had the drive and the will to make his fortune and spent the cash as he saw fit. While, his tactics landed him in jail, he, now a self-proclaimed businessman, says he learnt from his mistakes and has reformed. He travels across the globe, giving business speeches to young entrepreneurs, along with industry gurus. He earns around $30,000 from each speech, a low sum in comparison with his earnings from Stratton Oakmont, but he has successfully inspired many business-oriented people on good, honourable ways of making large sums of money. In the modern world, the emphasis is on becoming wealthy, regardless of the methods, thus Jordan Belfort feels obligated to educate corporations and individuals about ethical business methods, so that the profits and the methods the profit is made does not get other people in trouble with the law, like they did with him.
Conclusion
Jordan Belfort managed to make millions of dollars running his crooked stock brokerage company, Stratton Oakmont, during the 1990s, but Jordan paid a heavy price for his wrongdoing; he served a 22 month jail term and was ordered to repay in excess of $110 million. From his quick rise to riches, and fast spending, as well as jail term and rehab, Jordan learnt valuable lessons, which he, now, travels around the world teaching. He shows people how to surmount their obstacles and take ethical business choices, which spares others from suffering the hardship his actions caused in the past.
