Maggiori informazioni sul libro
By day, he earned thousands of dollars a minute; by night, he spent it on drugs, sex, and extravagant travel. From the binge that sank a 170-foot yacht and racked up a $700,000 hotel bill to the family waiting at home, this is the story of the infamous figure known as the king of Wall Street. In the 1990s, Jordan Belfort, former head of the notorious investment firm Stratton Oakmont, became a prominent name in American finance—a brilliant yet deceitful stockbroker who led his team on a wild ride from Wall Street to a massive Long Island office. In this candid and entertaining autobiography, Belfort recounts a tale of greed, power, and excess that feels almost fictional. Stratton Oakmont transformed microcap investing into a highly profitable venture, with Belfort’s brokers pressuring clients into stock purchases that benefited the firm. However, an insatiable thirst for indulgence, dubious practices, and a fateful partnership with shoe designer Steve Madden would lead Belfort into legal troubles and personal turmoil. As he navigated a chaotic home life with his model wife, two children, and a large staff—while under scrutiny from the SEC and FBI—he lived a life of unrestrained hedonism, ultimately culminating in his dramatic downfall.
