In the early 1990s Jordan Belfort teamed with his partner Donny Azoff and started brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont. Their company quickly grows from a staff of 20 to a staff of more than 250 and their status in the trading community and Wall Street grows exponentially.

They draw attention like no other throwing lavish parties for their staff when they hit the jackpot on high trades. That ultimately leads to Belfort featured on the cover of Forbes Magazine being called "The Wolf Of Wall St.".

But with the FBI watching him like a hawk how long will Belfort and Azoff be able to maintain their elaborate wealth and luxurious lifestyles?
