The Wolf of Wall Street is based on the real-life Wall Street broker Jordan Belfort, and the ex-convict has a hidden role in the film. The 2013 movie follows Jordan (Leonardo DiCaprio), who becomes greedier with every deal he makes, working his way up from selling penny stocks to working-class citizens to scamming multi-millionaires. But the story is just as much about Jordan's pleasure-seeking habits as it is about his criminal business. However, when the FBI inevitably gets involved, Jordan's Wall Street empire comes tumbling down, as he loses his family and is incarcerated, even if the jail he's sent to resembles a country club.
