Now, Belfort appears to be riding the wave of fame to a new chapter: The Tampa Bay _Times_ [reports](http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/wolf-of-wall-street-to-kick-off-us-redemption-tour-at-ruth-eckerd/2196388) Belfort’s embarking on a national “redemption” tour, which begins September 15th in Clearwater, Fl. Belfort’s 52 now, and lives near Los Angeles; since his release from prison, Belfort’s made a name for himself on the motivational speaking circuit, and has been working for companies like Delta Air Lines, Deutsche Bank and Symantec, among others. He’s even just returned from a worldwide tour, where he spoke from South Africa to Canada. He might be apologetic, but who knows. In May, Belfort spoke to a crowd in Dublin, Ireland. As the _Irish Examiner_ [reported](http://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/features/hungry-like-the-wolf-jordan-belfort-fails-to-impress-in-dublin-270485.html): “Getting rich is f\*\*\*\*\*\* easy,” Belfort said then. “Eight years ago I had zero; this year I’m going to make $100m gross.” \[[_Tampa Bay Times_](http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/wolf-of-wall-street-to-kick-off-us-redemption-tour-at-ruth-eckerd/2196388)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3282236/wolf-of-wall-street-florida/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3282236/wolf-of-wall-street-florida/"},"headline":"Wolf of Wall Street Will Begin U.S. 'Redemption Tour' in Florida","datePublished":"2014-09-06T18:56:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:01.476Z","description":"Even as a motivational speaker he's still a wolf","url":"https://time.com/3282236/wolf-of-wall-street-florida/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1e37d6097cbb6f00/6986a24406f2c10f0e330995/jordan-belfort.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Bijan Stephen","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/bijan-stephen/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1e37d6097cbb6f00/6986a24406f2c10f0e330995/jordan-belfort.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jordan Belfort Speaks At The Gold Coast Convention Centre","caption":"Jordan Belfort Speaks At The Gold Coast Convention Centre","creditText":"Newspix—Newspix via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3282236/wolf-of-wall-street-florida/","name":"Wolf of Wall Street Will Begin U.S. 'Redemption Tour' in Florida"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Real Wolf of Wall Street Is Co-Writing A TV Show","description":"Jordan Belfort, the man whose life ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ is based on, is writing a TV show about Wall Street in the 1980s.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/8JvrYh26/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-08-19T17:42:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/8JvrYh26.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3282236/wolf-of-wall-street-florida/","duration":"PT1M30S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3282236/wolf-of-wall-street-florida/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
