The major part of her childhood, Nadine was brought up by a single mother. After graduating from high school, she had no money for college. The girl started earning herself. Her incredibly beautiful look helped her find a job as a model. Nadine became quite popular and made $3, 000 per day as a model of Elite Petite agency when she occasionally met Jordan. He immediately fell in love with her and started bombing Nadine with expensive jewelry and baskets of flowers. They lived in a luxurious mansion, but they were not unhappy. Nadine finalized the divorce process in 1998 when Belfort was arrested and had an electronic tag on his leg, which limited his freedom.

In 2007 Nadine got a psychological degree at Pacifica Graduate Institute and started helping women all over the world. Having passed through domestic violence in her marriage with Belfort and having coped with it, she encourages women all over the world to learn from her.

After Jordan’s arrest, she removed to California with her daughter and son and married a lawyer John Macaluso. Now she is a stepmother to John’s two daughters from a previous marriage.

Maxwell Belfort was born in the family of Jacob Belfort, an elevator operator, and Ann Brody. He was seven when his family moved to the Bronx, New York, where the man was actually raised. Max became an accountant. During 64 years (till his death) Max was married to Leah and brought up two sons with her.

In his book, Jordan tells about the financial problems his father had. He worked a lot to make ends meet, still, the Belfort family lived in poverty. Jordan blames his father’s troubled nature in disability to become rich.

Nevertheless, Max was that man, who taught Jordan financial literacy. Due to Max, Jordan knew that it was always possible to earn some money if necessary. Jordan made his first cash by selling ice cream on the beach and cleaning the streets from snow. But since the earliest years Max knew, he needed more.

Nevertheless, Jordan’s dad did his best to raise his sons decently, and now he is remembered by his family members with warmth and gratitude. He passed away in 2019 after a long illness, and his wife Leah stood by his bedside for months and supported her beloved husband till his death.

Many sources tell that Leah was an accountant. But she quit that career in her early 60s and entered this St. Johns Law School. For many years after her graduation served as a certified lawyer. She is still a Bayside resident.

Leah is a doting attentive mother. In one of her interviews, she told, that Jordan was very anxious as an infant and couldn’t sleep well. She was very strict with both her sons and was very determined for their future. That’s why she couldn’t believe when Jordan started earning $4-5 million per month as a broker. She was very disappointed when she knew about Jordan’s law alterations and imprisonment. But she felt satisfied when she heard about the release of Jordan’s book “The Wolf of Wall Street”. She feels very optimistic about Jordan’s success as an author and motivational speaker.
