Jordan Belfort, the man who achieved everything from nothing, asks the questions he asks himself about life.
“How can I become rich? How should the rich live?”

“There is no nobility in poverty.” These are the opening words of the book’s author, Jordan Belfort, to those who are hesitating whether to start a business or become a stockbroker.
This scene is considered one of the most memorable scenes in the movie, and it may have been the central theme of Belfort's life and the message he wanted to emphasize most throughout the book.
Having failed in business in his early 20s without much talent and having no decent income to bring home to his wife and children, he was, as fate would have it, hired as a stockbroker trainee at an investment bank, but was laid off again in 1987 due to the stock market crash.

Having vaguely grasped the basic structure of people's desire to buy and sell stocks, he soon discovered his exceptional talent as a stockbroker and achieved breathtaking success in a short period of time.
He soon founded a company, quickly spread his sales skills to cultivate small-time bettors, and amassed a vast fortune by cleverly manipulating the structure of the stock market and by maneuvering around the boundaries of the law.
But Belfort and his men, who had longed to be rich but had not yet prepared to become rich, and had obtained more than they wanted, ran without knowing the limits of human desire and fell miserably again.

His roller coaster-like life raises questions that no life textbook or YouTube channel that talks about studying money can answer.
“If you become rich, how will you live?”

The Art of Raising the Wolf of Wall Street
“Get rich and solve your problems.”

“Sell me this pen.” This is a line Belfort throws at his colleague, who says he can do anything but does nothing, in the film of the same name as the original work.
Could the materialism of Wall Street turn a naive, ignorant young man into a monster? Perhaps, but Belfort was already a natural resourceful man, having earned $20,000 selling ice cream on the beach with a friend before entering college.
He was a self-made millionaire who dropped out of college immediately after entering the university after hearing the dean say, “It’s difficult to become rich with this major.”

It is difficult to defend him as a criminal and not a fraudster.
However, it is difficult to dismiss him as a mere thief and fraud who preys on others and ignore him, as his motivation to get back on track and his innate talent as a marketing consultant are not small.
His exceptional talent for quickly reading what others want and making them exchange what he wants for value is no different from the ability of those who live as wealthy people today, whom others admire.


Wolf's reflections on knowing "how to become rich" but not "how to live rich."
“Don’t settle for mediocrity.
“You have to be great” - Jordan Belfort, speaking at Oxford University

While the story's origins stem from Belfort's existence, the book's origins stem from his imprisonment for securities fraud and money laundering.
It was while he was in prison that he decided to write his story in a book.
Luckily, his first book, The Wolf of Wall Street, was in hot competition for the film rights before it was even published, and was later adapted into a film by the maestro Martin Scorsese.

Why did this gifted, resourceful, and resourceful writer plan this book while in prison? It wasn't likely because he was confident his story would become a global bestseller.
The reason he left his life in print after becoming rich, betraying his friends, abandoning his wife and children, becoming addicted to drugs, and becoming a conman with an unethical sense of morality due to his reckless decisions, is probably because he realized that the human desire for wealth and success is not all that different.

This is evidenced by the book, which was published in 2008 and still remains an Amazon bestseller with up-to-date reviews and ratings, and by the author Jordan Belfort, who has published books in 18 languages ​​in over 40 countries around the world.
With the global economy facing another crisis due to the pandemic and the despair that one cannot become rich even if one works diligently for a lifetime, readers who dream of successful investment and becoming a member of the FIRE tribe will find inspiration in unfolding their own unique "wealth and life scenarios" beyond the numerous economic outlook books and financial management books.
