Early Life and Career Beginnings
Meeting Jordan Belfort
Sometime in his career, Jordan discovered penny stocks and would found Stratton Oakmont, which marketed penny stocks and subsequently defrauded investors. He used a pump and dump type of stock sales in which they sold cheaper stocks at higher prices, increasing his wealth significantly. Due to his success in using the scam, he was able to create a lavish lifestyle, filled with parties, and drugs which resulted in addiction. At one point, his company employed over 1,000 stock brokers, and was involved in stock issues totaling $1 billion.
During the peak of his wealth, he met Caridi and the two hit it off despite Belfort still being married to Denise Lombardo at the time, a relationship eventually led to divorce in 1991. Shortly afterwards, Belfort and Caridi married with a lavish ceremony in the Caribbean. Around this time, she became known as the Duchess of Bay Ridge, but she ceased to work as a model in order to take care of her family, as she had two children with Belfort.

The Downfall of Belfort and Divorce
Belfort was eventually indicted for money laundering and securities fraud six years earlier, and would subsequently serve 22 months of a four year sentence. His pump and dump scams led to $200 million in investor losses, and he was ordered to repay around $110 million of what he had swindled. During his time in prison, he discovered a new passion for motivational speaking and writing. He wrote two memoirs entitled “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Catching the Wolf of Wall Street”, which have been published in over 40 countries and in 18 languages.

The Wolf of Wall Street and Aftermath
In 2013, a movie was made based on Jordan’s book “The Wolf of Wall Street”, actually written just a few days after his release from prison, and which starred Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role as well as Jonah Hill, with Nadine’s role played by Australian actress Margot Robbie, and directed by Martin Scorsese There was a strong bidding war for his books and there has been controversy surrounding it, with some believing that details in the book may have been fabricated. Nevertheless, the film proved successful, earning numerous rewards at the box office.
Following her divorce from Belfort, Nadine would start a relationship with the former CEO of Wizard World John Macaluso, eventually leading to marriage, with the ceremony in Manhattan. Macaluso is 22 years older than Nadine; their family consists of Macaluso’s three daughters from his previous marriage and Nadine’s two sons from her marriage to Belfort. Their life has mainly been out of the spotlight, with the last coverage due to the popularity of the film “The Wolf of Wall Street”. Belfort, on the other hand, continues to move forward with his new career.

1 | Getting rich is fucking easy. Eight years ago I had zero; this year I'm going to make $100m gross. |
2 | Winners use words that say 'must' and 'will' |
3 | Without action, the best intentions in the world are nothing more than that: intentions. |
4 | I've got the guts to die. What I want to know is, have you got the guts to live? |
5 | And from the time I was a kid, I've had this internal monologue roaring through my head, which doesn't stop - unless I'm asleep. I'm sure every person has this; it's just that my monologue is particularly loud. And particularly troublesome. I'm constantly asking myself questions. And the problem with that is that your brain is like a computer: If you ask a question, it's programmed to respond, whether there's an answer or not. I'm constantly weighing everything in my mind and trying to predict how my actions will influence events. Or maybe manipulate events are the more appropriate words. It's like playing a game of chess with your own life. And I hate fucking chess! |
6 | But what I sincerely hope is that my life serves as a cautionary tale to the rich and poor alike; to anyone who's living with a spoon up their nose and a bunch of pills dissolving in their stomach sac; or to any person who's considering taking a God-given gift and misusing it; to anyone who decides to go to the dark side of the force and live a life of unbridled hedonism. And to anyone who thinks there's anything glamorous about being known as a Wolf of Wall Street. |
7 | If you want to be rich, never give up. People tend to give up. If you have persistence, you will come out ahead of most people. More importantly, you will learn. When you do something, you might fail. But that's not because you're a failure. It's because you have not learnt enough. Do it differently each time. One day, you will do it right. Failure is your friend. |
8 | Successful people are 100% convinced that they are masters of their own destiny , they're not creatures of circumstance, they create circumstance, if the circumstances around them suck they change them |
9 | No matter what happened to you in your past, you are not your past, you are the resources and the capabilities you glean from it. And that is the basis for all change. |
10 | There's no nobility in poverty. |
11 | The easiest way to make money is create something of such value that everybody wants and go out and give and create value, the money comes automatically. |
12 | The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it |
13 | Act as if! Act as if you're a wealthy man, rich already, and then you'll surely become rich. Act as if you have unmatched confidence and then people will surely have confidence in you. Act as if you have unmatched experience and then people will follow your advice. And act as if you are already a tremendous success, and as sure as I stand here today - you will become successful. |
14 | Whether you say, 'I can' or 'I can't,' you're right either way. |
15 | When you live your life by poor standards, you inflict damage on everyone who crosses your path, especially those you love |
16 | You don't choose who you fall in love with, do you? And once you do fall in love - that obsessive sort of love, that all-consuming love, where two people can't stand to be apart from each other for even a moment-how are you supposed to let a love like that pass you by? |
