Where Is Jordan Belfort Now? A Look at the Self-Proclaimed Wolf of Wall Street's Life Nearly 20 Years After Prison Release
Jordan Belfort has been a prominent figure in New York City since the early aughts, but these days he may be more famous in Hollywood, thanks to Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of him in Martin Scorsese's 2013 film, The Wolf of Wall Street. The Oscar-nominated movie was adapted from Belfort's 2007 memoir of the same name, in which he details his own experience as a scamming Wall Street stockbroker. Charting his meteoric rise and ultimate fall which led to him serving 22 months in prison, the book provides a first-hand account of the greed and consequential moral implications of America's financial sector. In his professional life, Belfort continues to write and travel to deliver motivational talks, while in his personal life, he's walked his daughter down the aisle and become a grandfather. "It was great to have that platform, and I used it to build my business of really speaking and mentoring around the world," Belfort said in a January 2024 interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored about his life since The Wolf of Wall Street. "It's been a wild ride to say the least, I'm more grounded this time around." From his latest book on investing to his family life, here's everything to know about where Jordan Belfort is now. Belfort founded Stratton Oakmont, Inc. in 1989, which positioned itself as a brokerage firm while defrauding hundreds of millions from investors. Famously, Belfort made nearly $1 million per week at the peak of his fraudulent success. The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) officially expelled the firm in 1996, and Belfort was arrested in 1998, on charges of securities fraud and money laundering. Following his arrest, Belfort pled guilty, agreeing to pay back $110 million to the victims of his scams. While Belfort was sentenced to four years in prison on July 18, 2003, he only served 22 months. He was released from prison in 2006. After he wrote a memoir about his experiences, filmmakers immortalized his life in finance in The Wolf of Wall Street. Belfort's reaction to the portrayal of himself and his life in The Wolf of Wall Street was mainly positive. The author has spoken about the accuracy of the movie, commenting that his real life was even more extreme than the film portrayed when it came to excessive drug use and interactions with women. 'The drug use and the stuff with the hookers and the sales assistants and the sex in the office … that stuff is really, really accurate," he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2014. 'In some respects, my life was even worse than that. Though I'd say I did more quaaludes than cocaine.' Belfort added that he approved of DiCaprio's Oscar-nominated performance of him, praising him for accurately capturing his essence. 'I was blown away. The way he was able to capture my energy, especially during the sales scenes and the speeches," he said, explaining that the actor 'didn't try to duplicate my voice as much as my mannerisms, my tonalities and my gestures.' However, he wasn't completely sold on the film. In January 2020, the convicted criminal went on to sue one of the film's producers for $300 million, claiming that Red Granite Productions CEO Riza Aziz misled him into signing away the rights to his memoir by misrepresenting the production's funding. The company's lawyer told BBC News in a statement that the lawsuit was "desperate and supremely ironic,' and an attempt "to get out from under an agreement that for the first time in his life made him rich and famous through lawful and legitimate means." DiCaprio told Variety in 2014 that he worked closely with Belfort in preparation for his on-screen portrayal of the fraudster. 'My relationship with Jordan from an actor's perspective was great, because there's nothing he wouldn't tell me,' he explained. Per Variety, after Belfort saw the film he told DiCaprio, 'I'm ashamed to admit my favorite movie of all time happens to be about me.' Belfort had previously said the two spent "hundreds" of hours together, sharing in a 2014 interview on CNN that "he was so determined to suck every bit of information from me, stuff that wasn't in the book and what was on my mind ... you don't realize how much he's looking at you because when you see it on screen, I was like 'Oh my god.' " In 2021, Belfort proposed to his now-wife, Christina Invernizzi, an actor of Argentinian and Italian descent, per her Instagram. When they first met, Invernizzi spoke primarily Spanish and wasn't familiar with Belfort's history, he told Piers Morgan in January 2024. "In the beginning, she couldn't quite figure it out," he said. "But I think now she's like I don't even want to know." Prior to his relationship with Invernizzi, Belfort was married to Nadine Caridi. They wed in 1991 and finalized their divorce in 2005, though they split shortly after Belfort was arrested. The couple welcomed two children, Carter and Chandler, together. In November 2021, Belfort's daughter Chandler got married, and he walked her down the aisle. "Such a special day with my beautiful daughter. We love you @chandlerwinter_ @connorjwinter," he wrote on Instagram. She went on to welcome her first child in 2023, making Belfort a grandfather. These days, Belfort continues to work as an entrepreneur, author and public speaker. According to his website, Belfort offers a variety of business courses and corporate training, as well as private consulting and speaking engagements. Following the success of his original 2007 memoir, he went on to write three more books including 2009's Catching the Wolf of Wall Street: More Incredible True Stories of Fortunes, Schemes, Parties, and Prison, 2017's Way of the Wolf: Straight Line Selling: Master the Art of Persuasion, Influence, and Success and 2023's The Wolf of Investing: My Insider's Playbook for Making a Fortune on Wall Street. The latter book centers around his advice on how to safely invest in stocks, which he himself pointed out the irony of in a November 2023 interview with InvestmentNews. "I think it is ironical. I resisted writing about Wall Street and how to make money in the stock market the right way for many, many years," he said. Belfort continued, "And ultimately, I just got to a point where, after being on the speaking circuit and teaching mostly entrepreneurship and sales, I realized there is a need to discuss things like: What is the actual way to make money in the stock market — the right way, and without the nonsense of short-term trading and trying to time the market?"

Travis Kelce's podcast confirms his NFL return with nod to legendary 'Wolf of Wall Street' scene
Reports circulated Thursday that Travis Kelce was returning for another NFL season, and it sure seems like the reports were accurate. While Kelce has not publicly spoken on the matter, the X page for his podcast with brother Jason Kelce posted that Travis would be returning in 2025 for his 13th season. "From the desk of @tkelce: ITS TIME FOR YEAR 13," the post said, adding there would be a "full breakdown" on the decision on next week's episode. Attached to the post was a video of the legendary scene from "Wolf of Wall Street" in which Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, announced he was "not f---ing leaving" after he considered resigning from Stratton Oakmont while being investigated. The video has Kelce's face superimposed over DiCaprio's, and the faces of Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Jason Kelce, general manager Brett Veach and owner Clark Hunt superimposed on the characters of Belfort's colleagues at the now-defunct firm. WARNING: LANGUAGE BELOW NSFW Pat McAfee insinuated he had spoken to Kelce via text. "'My dog!!! I'm coming back for sure. Going to try and get into the best shape I've been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop,'" McAfee said during his show, saying the text was from a "source." "'Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and how I got the guys ready for battle!!!!'" NFL Network also reported Kelce would return. With Kelce seemingly returning for a 13th season, the Chiefs can go about the rest of the offseason without having to make any big additions at tight end. Although not the offensive force he had been, Kelce last season was still productive with 97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns. The yardage and touchdown numbers were the lowest of Kelce's career over a full season. In the Chiefs' AFC divisional round win over the Houston Texans, Kelce turned back the clock with a vintage performance, catching seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown. However, in the Chiefs' defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in this month's Super Bowl, Kelce only caught four passes for 39 yards, and he made all of his receptions with the game already decided. Kelce was open about considering retirement after the Super Bowl. Reports circulated before the game that the result of the Super Bowl could factor into Kelce's decision. Among tight ends in NFL history, Kelce ranks third in catches (1,004) and yards (12,151) and fifth in touchdowns (77).
