'What separates Jordan's story from others like it, is the brutal honesty.' - Leonardo DiCaprio

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 sunk 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 for 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...

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET

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. In this astounding and hilarious tell-all autobiography, Belfort narrates a story of greed, power, and excess no one could invent - the story of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices at sixteen to making hundreds of millions. Until it all came crashing down.

Critic reviews

The outrageous memoirs of the real Gordon Gekko (Daily Mail)
Reads like a cross between Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities and Scorsese's Goodfellas Sunday Times (Sunday Times)
All stars
Most relevant
I started listening to this a couple of days before seeing the film and after watching the film almost didn't carry on listening as I thought I'd seen the whole story. When in fact the true story is fairly different to the Scorsasee screenplay, it's a lot less glamorous and more a tale of caution - money really doesn't buy you happiness. However there are still the same hilarious moments you get to see in the film and more rip roaring moments which make you cringe as well as laugh out loud.

The narration is fantastic, really well read and although you should by all accounts really despise Jordan Belfort you can't help but love him in a weird way.
I really hope that Audible record Belfort's second book Chasing The Wolf of Wallstreet, and soon- I can't wait to jump right back on the Belfort crazy train!

Where does The Wolf of Wall Street rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a very engaging story but the narration makes it even more so. However, some of the scenarios are rather lengthy, unnecessarily so in my opinion, and therefore my concentration started to wander in some places.

What other book might you compare The Wolf of Wall Street to, and why?

I would have liked to have been able to compare it with Bonfire of the Vanities but, sadly, this book does not appear to be on audible. I did have the book once but it seems to be missing now, unfortunately.

What about Eric Meyers’s performance did you like?

Eric Meyer seems to live this tale. So much so, he could have been the author! I shall be looking for other books he has narrated.

Narration is Brilliant

What does Eric Meyers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

if you have seen the film then you would swear that Dicaprio had based performance on the narration of this book.... brought it to life

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

That outrageous you can not help but laugh

Which character – as performed by Eric Meyers – was your favourite?

Frankly, I could have done without the vocal characterisations.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The hospital scenes with Jordan's son - as a parent I was choked and tearful.

Any additional comments?

Laugh out loud, and cry your eyes out. A rollercoaster.

Well narrated and an insight into the winner takes all world of the stockbroker. if you liked the film then you'll love this. One thing that isn't mentioned is the poor schmucks who bought his stock and lost their money. This man is not your friend and he's not Robin Hood.
