The Wolf of Wall Street is a memoir that chronicles Jordan Belfort's career as a stockbroker and his founding of Stratton Oakmont, a firm notorious for its 'pump and dump' schemes and other fraudulent practices.

The book describes Belfort's meteoric rise to wealth and power, his indulgent lifestyle filled with drugs, women, and luxury, and his eventual downfall due to legal scrutiny.
