The Wolf of Wall Street is based on Belfort's memoir.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street is based on the true story of the infamous rise and fall of con artist Jordan Belfort. Belfort took the world by storm after the 2013 release of Scorsese's film and inadvertently became a representation of modern capitalism at its best and worst. The dramatized version of events depicted in the movie ring mostly true to the 2007 memoir of the same name.
Other details in the movie that were accurate to Belfort's debaucherous memoir include: Donnie Azoff actually did marry his cousin before later divorcing her, Belfort actually sunk a yacht in Italy that was once owned by Coco Chanel, and he really did crash his helicopter trying to land while he was high. Most notably, Belfort truly did serve a reduced prison sentence after ratting on his friends. He did not try to save Porush from incriminating himself as is displayed in the film.
