12 The Wolf of Wall Street Quotes on Excess and Success

Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, The Wolf of Wall Street is an American biographical black comedy that premiered on December 2013 under the excellent direction of Martin Scorsese.

The Wolf of Wall Street might be one of the craziest movies you’ll ever watch, if you haven’t already. The masterpiece depicts Jordan Belfort’s reckless adventures from his rise to a wealthy stock-broker to his free fall and imprisonment.


Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Belfort and as expected, he gave an outstanding performance on what living like a narcissistic lunatic means. The man wanted it all – riches, wilder experiences, pleasure and pain. His genius plan and predatory manipulations got him exactly what he wanted; his stupidity to think he could get away with it got him exactly what he deserved.

The Wolf of Wall Street shows us the fault in our existence. The effort and years we put into creating something just to ruin it in a matter of seconds.

Here are 12 The Wolf of Wall Street quotes on excess and success:
