Biography

Jordan Belfort is one of the country's most talked-about speakers. His story is the ultimate tale of how the pursuit of wealth can often trump the importance of ethics in the business world. In the 1990s, Belfort built one of the most dynamic and successful sales organizations in the nation's financial circles before his well-publicized fall. During that time, he soared to the highest financial heights, earning over $50 million a year, a feat that earned him the name "The Wolf of Wall Street." Belfort's career was captured in the Oscar and Golden Globe nominated film, The Wolf of Wall Street. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Belfort and was directed by Martin Scorsese. DiCaprio won the Golden Globe award for Best Comedy for his portrayal of Belfort. Now recovered from the traps of his former high-flying lifestyle, Belfort has re-emerged in the business world as a speaker, author and leading voice on the importance of business ethics. His proprietary Straight Line System allows him to take virtually any company or individual and empower them to create massive wealth, abundance, and entrepreneurial success, without sacrificing integrity or ethics. He has served as an advisor to more than fifty public companies, and has been profiled in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The London Times, The Herald Tribune, Le Monde, Corriere della Serra, Forbes, BusinessWeek, Paris Match and Rolling Stone. He created the Jordan Belfort Foundation to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs in underprivileged communities to create economic opportunities that transform their own lives, their families, and their communities. Belfort has two international best-selling memoirs, The Wolf of Wall Street and Catching the Wolf of Wall Street.
