Nadine Caridi’s ex-husband, Jordan Belfort
Born Jordan Ross Belfort on July 9, 1962 in Queens, New York City USA, he is the son of Max and Leah Belfort. Of Jewish ancestry, he grew up in Bayside, Queens, then went to American University, where he earned a degree in biology. During his high school days, Jordan teamed up with his friend Elliot Loewenstern to sell Italian ice cream to people at a local beach. The two were earning around $20,000 and he wanted to use the money to go to dental school at the University of Maryland. However, he left college after a few days, as the dean told him that the golden age of dentistry was over and if he was studying dentistry just so he could earn a lot of money, then he was in the wrong place.
Life before imprisonment
Jordan began his career selling meat and seafood door-to-door in Long Island, New York. Soon his business became successful, however, along the way his business failed and he filed for bankruptcy when he was only 25 years old. After that, he bounced back with the help of a family friend who appointed him a trainee stockbroker at LF Rothschild. He learned a lot in this position, but was unlucky as the Black Monday crisis fired him.
Nonetheless, he started Stratton Oakmont, which operated as a boiler room, and at one point he and his employees owned over 1,000 shares, worth over a billion dollars.
However, during this period his company was often under the scrutiny of the National Association of Securities, and in December 1996 his company was kicked out of the NASD, sending it into bankruptcy.
Charges, imprisonment
Three years later, Belfort was indicted for securities fraud and money laundering; he had defrauded people of over $200 million and had to pay back $110 million to his clients – his activities earned him the nickname “The Wolf of Wall Street”. He received a four-year sentence and served 22 months at Taft Correctional Institution in California.
His sentence was reduced because he reached a plea agreement with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Life after prison net worth
Since his release, Jordan has also become a motivational speaker, author, and screenwriter. He wrote two memoirs, including The Wolf of Wall Street (2007), which was adapted into the film of the same name and released in 2013, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan.
Jordan bounced to his feet from jail and hasn’t had a run-in with the law. In 2015, he got engaged to Anne Koppe. According to sources, his net worth at the start of 2020 is around $2 million.
