Jordan Ross Belfort, born on July 9, 1962, gained notoriety through the portrayal of his life by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Originally from Queens, New York, Jordan worked as a stockbroker at an investment firm. This was before establishing his own trading company, Stratton Oakmont.
However, his involvement in fraudulent activities and money laundering led to legal consequences and his wife divorcing him. In 1999, Jordan pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering charges, resulting in a prison sentence of four years. He served approximately twenty-two months before his release.
His memoir, with the same title as the film, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” was the basis for the Martin Scorsese-directed movie. Jordan was married twice with two children, including Chandler Belfort. Here’s what we know about her.

What Did Chandler Belfort’s Mother Say About the “Wolf of Wall Street?”
After remarrying, Nadine Caridi changed her last name to Macaluso. She pursued a career as a licensed marriage and family therapist. Years after her portrayal by Margot Robbie in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” she used her professional expertise to speak out about her toxic marriage to Jordan Belfort.
Nadine revealed that while the film accurately portrayed certain aspects of their relationship, it primarily showcased Jordan’s perspective rather than her own. In a TikTok video, she discussed how Jordan employed tactics like “love bombing” to manipulate and win her affection.
Love bombing involves overwhelming someone with excessive attention and respect to gain control, and it is considered a part of the cycle of abuse. Nadine acknowledged falling in love with Jordan due to his love-bombing behavior.
However, she confirmed the accuracy of specific scenes in the movie. The scene where flowers surround Margot Robbie’s character was based on an actual incident, where Jordan filled their small apartment with an excessive amount of flowers, expanding it to over a thousand square feet from its original eight hundred square feet, and the yacht scene, where Leonardo DiCaprio’s character tells Robbie’s character that they would sail to Monaco for a work-related matter.
Chandler Belfort has never publicly commented on her parents’ marriage. She remains focused on her professional growth as a psychologist and building a fulfilling personal life. John Travolta’s daughter Ella Bleu is another young lady who pushed herself to fulfill her dreams outside of her father’s fame.
