What Happened to Jordan Belfort?

Jordan Belfort was born in New York City on July 9, 1962. He’s 61 years old as of 2023. Now, his life is a mix of being an entrepreneur, a speaker, and an author, but it wasn’t always like this.

When Jordan was growing up, his family worked with numbers. They were accountants. He started earning money early, selling Italian ice at the beach with a friend when he was going from high school to college.

This gave him $20,000! At first, he planned to become a dentist with that money, but he changed his mind after a discouraging talk by the dean of the dental school. This is where his journey took a twist.

He went to American University and studied biology but ended up on a different path. He began working as a door-to-door salesman, selling meat and seafood on Long Island. It went well at first, but it eventually led to bankruptcy when he was just 25 years old.

The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street

Jordan always wanted to make a name for himself. Ordinary life was not something he ever wanted to have. After working at a finance company for a short while, he started his own firm called Stratton Oakmont. This firm became famous for not-so-ethical practices in the stock market.

They did things like “pump and dump” schemes, which means they artificially increased the price of a stock to make it look good, then sold it off to make money. The firm got involved in deals worth over a billion dollars and had more than a thousand brokers.

But, the authorities didn’t like what they were doing. They were starting to catch up to him without even him noticing. In the year 1999, Jordan Belfort got caught up in a huge legal mess. He was charged with money laundering and securities fraud.

The authorities took full advantage of the mess he was in. Just to reduce his sentence, they demanded information about the people he worked with. He went to prison for 22 months and had to pay back $110 million to people who were cheated.

Life After Prison

This was the beginning of a new chapter in Jordan’s life. He decided to wipe his slate clean and start fresh. Jordan started writing books and giving talks about sales, business, etc. He even shared the sales secret that got him rich in the past. Needless to say, like every one of us, he got a second chance in life, and he used it to its fullest.

The Wolf of Wall Street Movie

Here’s the interesting part. Jordan didn’t stop there. He wrote a book about his wildlife called “The Wolf of Wall Street” in the year 2007. This book was turned into a big movie in the year 2013, with Leonardo DiCaprio playing Jordan himself. It became super famous!

Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage

Jordan Belfort’s personal life has also been a rollercoaster. He has been married multiple times. His most recent wife, Cristina Invernizzi, is 33 years old as of 2023. They got married in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas.

Cristina is an actress and model who started her career in Mexico and later worked with big brands. The couple’s love story was unexpected, but it’s a reminder that life can bring surprises even after making mistakes.

Conclusion

After his time in prison, Jordan Belford is leading a happy life, helping people follow his path without making mistakes.
