By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he
spent it as fast as he could, on drugs, sex, and international
globe-trotting. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht,
crashed a Gulfstream jet, and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the
wife and kids who waited for him at home, and the fast-talking,
hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king and did his
bidding, here, in his own inimitable words, is the story of the
ill-fated genius they called… 
　　In the 1990s Jordan Belfort, former kingpin of the notorious
investment firm Stratton Oakmont, became one of the most infamous
names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who
led his merry mob on a wild ride out of the canyons of Wall Street
and into a massive office on Long Island. Now, in this astounding
and hilarious tell-all autobiography, Belfort narrates a story of
greed, power, and excess no one could invent. 
　　Reputedly the prototype for the film Boiler Room, Stratton
Oakmont turned microcap investing into a wickedly lucrative game as
Belfort’s hyped-up, coked-out brokers browbeat clients into stock
buys that were guaranteed to earn obscene profits–for the house.
But an insatiable appetite for debauchery, questionable tactics,
and a fateful partnership with a breakout shoe designer named Steve
Madden would land Belfort on both sides of the law and into a
harrowing darkness all his own. 
　　From the stormy relationship Belfort shared with his model-wife
as they ran a madcap household that included two young children, a
full-time staff of twenty-two, a pair of bodyguards, and hidden
cameras everywhere—even as the SEC and FBI zeroed in on them—to the
unbridled hedonism of his office life, here is the extraordinary
story of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices at
sixteen to making hundreds of millions. Until it all came crashing
down…

媒体评论

　　"Belfort, who founded one of the first and largest "chop shop" brokerage firms in 1987, was banned from the securities business for life by 1994, and later went to jail for fraud and money-laundering, delivers a memoir that reads like fiction. It covers his decade of success with straightforward accounts of how he worked with managers of obscure companies to acquire large amounts of stock with minimal public disclosure, then pumped up the price and sold it, so he and the insiders made large profits while public investors usually lost. Profits were laundered through purchase of legitimate businesses and cash deposits in Swiss banks. There is only brief mention of Belfort's life before Wall Street or events since 1997. The book's main topic is the vast amount of sex, drugs and risky physical behavior Belfort managed to survive. As might be expected in the autobiography of a veteran con man with movie rights already sold, it's hard to know how much to believe. The story is told mostly in dialogue, with allegedly contemporaneous mental asides by the author, reported verbatim. But it reports only surface events, never revealing what motivates Belfort or any of the other characters."
