Jordan is renowned for founding a stock broking firm on Wall Street during the 1990s, Stratton Oakmont, however, Jordan's corporation was based on Long Island not Wall Street.

Publications
While serving his supposedly 4 years jail term, which became only 22 months after collaborating with the government on his case, Jordan was lucky, or otherwise, to share a jail room with Tommy Chong, serving his 9 months sentence after a conviction of selling drug paraphernalia online. Tommy inspired Jordan to make his life's story a book, after hearing much of what went down in Jordan's life. Jordan wrote two books, The Wolf of Wall Street and Catching the Wolf of Wall Street, which have earned him millions of dollars. In addition to the books, one of his books has been made into a motion picture with the same title, The Wolf of Wall Street, with Leonardo Dicaprio and Matthew McConaughey comprising actors.

He travels around the world offering business motivational talks to young business people as well as gurus in the industry. He earns around $30,000 from each speech, a small sum in comparison with his earnings from Stratton Oakmont, but he has successfully inspired many business-oriented people on good, ethical ways of making large sums of money. In the modern world, the emphasis is on becoming wealthy, regardless of the methods, thus Jordan Belfort feels obligated to educate corporations and individuals about ethical business methods, so that the profits and the methods the profit is made does not get other people in trouble with the law, like they did with him.
