The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) Trivia Questions & Answers
Here are the correct answers to our The Wolf of Wall Street quiz — plus the behind-the-scenes context that makes each moment of this financial frenzy even more fascinating.
1) Who directed The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)?
Correct Answer: Martin Scorsese
Scorsese teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio for the fifth time in this unflinching, high-octane look at greed and corruption. Known for classics like Goodfellas and Casino, Scorsese brings his signature energy and dark humor to the world of stock fraud, pushing boundaries in storytelling, style, and runtime.
2) Who plays the role of Jordan Belfort?
Correct Answer: Leonardo DiCaprio
DiCaprio gives a fearless, manic performance as Jordan Belfort — delivering explosive monologues, drug-fueled madness, and fourth-wall-breaking charisma. His portrayal earned him a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. It’s considered one of his most audacious and physically demanding roles.
3) What is the name of Jordan Belfort’s brokerage firm?
Correct Answer: Stratton Oakmont
Stratton Oakmont is the pump-and-dump boiler room Jordan founds to con investors and inflate penny stocks. The firm is marketed as legitimate, but behind the scenes, it’s fueled by lies, manipulation, and rivers of illegal cash — until the law inevitably catches up.
4) What drug does Jordan become heavily addicted to in the film?
Correct Answer: Quaaludes
Quaaludes — a sedative discontinued in the ’80s — become Jordan’s drug of choice. The film’s infamous “Lemmon 714” scene, where he tries to crawl to his car after an overdose, is both comedic and horrifying, and has become one of the movie’s most iconic moments.
5) What does Jordan famously do during a staff speech involving a microphone?
Correct Answer: Declares he’s not leaving
In a moment of theatrical defiance, Jordan dramatically tells his staff “I’m not f***ing leaving!” and the crowd erupts. It’s the ultimate ego trip and a testament to how consumed he’s become by power and adoration — even when the walls are closing in.
6) Which actor plays Donnie Azoff, Jordan’s eccentric business partner?
Correct Answer: Jonah Hill
Jonah Hill plays Donnie Azoff — a character inspired by real-life associate Danny Porush. With his bleached teeth, awkward bravado, and penchant for excess, Hill brings hilarious and chaotic energy to the role, earning himself an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
7) What animals are featured in the Stratton Oakmont office for entertainment?
Correct Answer: A chimpanzee and a lion
In true over-the-top fashion, Jordan brings a chimpanzee dressed in a suit to walk through the office and also rents a lion to emphasize the firm’s “apex predator” mindset. These absurd touches highlight the grotesque culture of wealth and performance at Stratton Oakmont.
8) What is the name of Jordan’s yacht that sinks?
Correct Answer: Naomi
Named after his second wife (played by Margot Robbie), the yacht Naomi sinks during a reckless trip to Europe. The scene is based on a real event — Belfort insisted on sailing through a storm to meet a doctor for more meds, and the coast guard had to rescue him and his crew.
9) Who portrays FBI Agent Patrick Denham, who investigates Jordan?
Correct Answer: Kyle Chandler
Kyle Chandler plays Denham, the dogged agent who brings Belfort’s empire crashing down. Their scenes together — especially the tension-filled conversation on Jordan’s yacht — show the stark contrast between indulgence and integrity. Denham becomes the quiet, unsung hero of the story.
10) What does the final scene of the film show Jordan doing?
Correct Answer: Hosting a sales seminar
In the last scene, Jordan is shown leading a sales seminar in New Zealand, telling attendees to “sell me this pen.” It’s a sobering image — a fallen titan now peddling his skills to others. The camera lingers on the audience’s faces, forcing us to question who the real wolves are now.
The Wolf of Wall Street is a cautionary tale disguised as a comedy, a character study hidden in a party. If you aced this quiz, you clearly weren’t blacked out on Quaaludes during the screening — you’ve got the instincts of a true (financially irresponsible) alpha.
