The Wolf of Wall Street (Movie Tie-in Edition)

By: Jordan Belfort

Narrated by: Eric Meyers

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Now a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio

By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids waiting at home and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king, here, in Jordan Belfort’s own words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called the Wolf of Wall Street. In the 1990s, Belfort became one of the most infamous kingpins in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. It’s an extraordinary story of greed, power, and excess that no one could invent: the tale of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices to making hundreds of millions—until it all came crashing down.

If your going to read and deliver a woman's voice, use a woman to read that part.

VERY ENTERTAINING

An Outlandish tale well told and supremely narrated. Although a longer audio (upwards of 20 hours), I was completely mesmerized throughout. Well worth a credit!

Pure madness

Don't read this book, LISTEN to it!

Any additional comments?

The narrator is possibly the best fit for this story of any audible book that I have consumed. He really adds to the outlandish story. Please listen to and don't read this book. It is hilarious.

Voice of the duchess

Loved the narration except for when he did the duchess voice lol good listen though.
