The fictionalized Wall Street firm in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street is Stratton Oakmont. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort, the real stockbroker whose brokerage firm inspired the film’s depiction of aggressive sales tactics and financial fraud.
Stratton Oakmont operated as a boiler-room-style brokerage and became notorious for manipulating penny stocks through high-pressure sales. The film dramatizes the firm’s rapid growth, lavish culture, regulatory scrutiny, and eventual collapse.
The company is based on the real Stratton Oakmont, which Belfort co-founded in the late 1980s. The film changes and compresses events for dramatic purposes, so not every scene is a documentary record. The name is nevertheless central to identifying the organization at the heart of the story.
