My Take
Jordan Belfort fascinates me precisely because he is a cautionary tale dressed up as a success story. A Bronx kid who clawed his way up Wall Street only to plead guilty to fraud, he became famous through The Wolf of Wall Street, a memoir and film that glamorize what was, at bottom, theft from real victims. I think it is a mistake to romanticize him. Still, I grudgingly note the sheer resilience of reinventing himself as a motivational speaker after disgrace; talking his way back from the bottom is its own grim talent. For me, his real value is as a study in the cost of unchecked greed.
