Jordan Belfort: From Wall Street Mogul to Global Motivational Speaker

Jordan Belfort rose to fame as the founder of Stratton Oakmont and the author of The Wolf of Wall Street, the memoir that inspired the 2013 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Born in New York in 1962, he is now 64 years old, stands 1.87 m tall, and weighs around 87 kg. He built a fortune in the 1990s before legal actions over fraud and money laundering led to a prison sentence. After serving 22 months, he repaid investors and reinvented himself as a speaker. Today, Belfort tours the world sharing lessons on business, sales and personal resilience. His memoirs have sold in over 40 countries, and his speaking fees range between $30,000 and $80,000 per seminar.
