The Wolf of Wall Street

Deze serie duikt in de wilde wereld van de financiële sector van de jaren '90, en beschrijft de stormachtige opkomst en spectaculaire ondergang van een ambitieuze beurshandelaar. Volg een reis van nederige begin tot immense rijkdom en macht, en wees getuige van de onvermijdelijke neergang, aangewakkerd door hebzucht en excessen. Het is een rauwe, vaak hilarische verkenning van onverzadigbare ambitie, corrupte macht en een levensstijl die zowel gevaarlijk als verleidelijk is.

    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.
