The Real Wolf Of Wall Street Says He Plans To Make $100 Million This Year From His Speaking Tour
Belfort is the author of a best-selling, tell-all memoir that chronicled his boozy, drug-fueled Wall Street lifestyle running boiler room Stratton Oakmont in the 90s.
His book was adapted into a film directed by Martin Scorsese that starred Leonardo DiCaprio.
Belfort was arrested and convicted for securities fraud and money laundering. He served a 22 month prison sentence after being sentenced to four years.
He was also ordered to pay $110.4 million in restitution to victims of Stratton Oakmont. He hasn't finished paying them back yet, but he said at the Dubai conference that he will be able to finish doing so thanks to his speaking tour.
"My goal is to make north of a $100 million so I am paying back everyone this year," he told the audience, according to Bloomberg.
As a stockbroker, he made about $50 million per year.
