The Wolf of Wall Street
2 min reading

A captivatingly witty yet bittersweet portrayal of one of Wall Street's most controversial figures, this film earned Leonardo DiCaprio a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Jordan Belfort and garnered five Oscar nominations. Jordan Belfort was the golden child of American finance. Rapid, dizzying success brought him fortune, power, and a sense of impunity. Temptations lurked everywhere, and Belfort delighted in succumbing to them, and he did so with style. The most beautiful women. The most expensive yachts. The most sophisticated drugs. A wild party without a shred of responsibility. And in its wake, inevitable mistakes and the desire for even greater wealth followed. Corruption, lawbreaking, and tax evasion – in this, too, Belfort proved a master.
