Also after sobering up from a drug-induced frenzy he was pretty appalled to find he'd called someone the n-word. But he goes ahead and saves his life after Naomi reminded him that Donnie was a father and had kids. Was considering letting Donnie choke to death after he got Brad arrested.
Card-Carrying Villain: He fully admits to being like a 'Bond villain'.to an FBI agent.Bullying a Dragon: See Bond Villain Stupidity.This just brings him more attention and encourages Denham to take him down. He even calls himself a 'Bond villain' and tries to bribe Denham. Bond Villain Stupidity: He invites Agent Denham to meet him on his yacht against the extremely passionate advice of his private detective.Bits of Me Keep Passing Out: An effect of the quaaludes that Jordan enjoys.Billionaire Wristband: Among the many things Jordan Belfort boasts about is his "$40,000 gold fucking watch." Turns out it's actually gold-plated and cost only $1,000 in real life at the time of its release.He's a real piece of work when he goes too far, crossing into Dude, Not Funny! territory when he dry humps an air hostess and has to be strapped to his chair. Anything That Moves: Jordan slips into this when he's intoxicated, which is most of the time.Animal Motif: He's the eponymous Wolf of Wall Street.He attempts to use this to his advantage at one point, offering to spill the beans on "the real bad guys". Always a Bigger Fish: For all of his wealth, he's still far removed from the true power players of Wall Street.Affably Evil: Polite, charming and slick, he's nevertheless the worst character in the film (except for maybe Donnie).The film shrugs most of these off as minorly fleeting cases of guilt. He constantly reminisces over his first wife and berates himself for having taken her for granted, recognizes his drug problem and tries sobering up on several occasions, and after trying to kidnap his daughter in the midst of his failing second marriage, he almost commits suicide out of guilt, and then later patches the marriage up (but only for a little while longer). Finally, in a mild case of Adaptational Villainy, Belfort was heavily remorseful over his drug abuse and treatment of both his wives. Furthermore, he actually did quit Stratton Oakmont and leave it in the hands of others, which is in direct contrast to his defiant refusal to quit (though, the real Belfort did remain as an advisor).
In his biography, he states that the real reason he did so many drugs was because he suffered from severe back pain due to an injury (which gets a brief nod in the film) and used drugs as a way to cope with it. In the film, Jordan frequently does drugs because he's a hedonist who loves getting high.
He wasn't a particularly stellar role-model of a parent beforehand, though.
