Even when I read his book, he's not preaching garbage, so I do believe he's creating value.

</blockquote>He is entertaining you. That's all. I don't see that as value. I see it as entertainment. So is the movie.<br />
<br />
I just did a search a couple hours ago about "price for Jordan Belfort seminars". I wasn't sure I was going to post this but I will:<br />

Reportedly, he pulls in 30 grand per seminar, but controversy has followed him around the world. Prosecutors in New York have complained that he has not, as directed by the court, handed over half of his earnings to recompense those he swindled. He says he’s moving in that direction, and that the profits from a 45 date tour of the USA this year will all go towards his victims.<br />
<br />
Still, his sums are a bit dodgy. He claims that he will earn $100m this year. That would be about 3,300 seminars, or ten a day. Even allowing for private coaching, for which he says he charges $1m a year, it’s hard to see how he can make that wodge. Still, as he says himself, believe and it will surely happen.<br />
<br />
At the RDS he keeps everybody on their toes by getting them to engage. Every so often, he instructs the audience to stand up and say something, as if he’s a priest addressing a congregation.<br />
<br />
“Say ‘I am committed to getting rich’.” They pledge their commitment. “Put your hand on your heart and say, ‘I must use a system. I am an asset’.” The hall obliges.<br />
<br />
<b>When you’ve shelled out up to one 120 lids you’re willing to stand on your head if that’s he says is required to get rich. </b>

Sorry. For the bolded part. But I thought it was funny. Not bashing Jordan Belfort or anything. This was just an article I found.</div>
