The Wolf of Wall Street (English Edition)
<p><b>Stock market multimillionaire at 26. Federal convict at 36. The iconic true story of greed, power and excess.</b><br /><b><br />THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AND MAJOR MOVIE SENSATION, DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE AND STARRING LEONARDO DICAPRIO</b><br /><br /><i>'What separates Jordan's story from others like it, is the brutal honesty.'</i> - <i>Leonardo DiCaprio</i><br /><br />By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could. From the binge that sunk a 170-foot motor yacht 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 Jordan Belfort's own words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called <b>THE WOLF OF WALL STREET.</b><br /><br />In the 1990s Jordan Belfort 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. It's an extraordinary story of greed, power and excess no one could invent - and then it all came crashing down.<br /><br /><b>'The outrageous memoirs of the real Gordon Gekko' <i>Daily Mail</i></b><br /><b>'Reads like a cross between Tom Wolfe's <i>Bonfire of the Vanities </i>and Scorsese's <i>Goodfellas</i>' <i>Sunday Times</i></b></p>
