The Wolf of Wall Street is based on the true story of a man, Jordan Belfort, who rose high up on Wall Street and made an absurd amount of money. Leonardo DiCaprio reenacts a bad*ss Jordan Belfort.

The reality show The Millionaire Matchmaker, a personal favorite of mine, follows Patti Stanger, a successful matchmaker, as she tries to set up millionaires on dates to find long-lasting love through her Millionaire’s Club.

This show is dramatic and hilarious, and Patti Stanger is tough as nails. You should totally watch The Millionaire Matchmaker if you’re looking for a show to binge watch for all seven seasons.
