Oakmont is a borough in Allegheny County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It is a Pittsburgh suburb and part of the Pittsburgh Metro Area. The population was 6,303 at the 2010 census.

Incorporated as a town in 1889, this Allegheny River community began in 1816 when a farmer, Michael Bright, bought a large tract of land 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Pittsburgh. The settlement took its name from a landmark tree, as the deed description reads, "Beginning at a black oak on the bank of the Allegheny River ..." The borough is best known for the nearby Oakmont Country Club, a premier golf course which has been the site of numerous United States Open Golf Championship tournaments.

Oakmont is located at 40°31′10″N 79°50′15″W / 40.51944°N 79.8375°W / 40.51944; -79.8375 (40.519518, -79.837620).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 1.8 square miles (4.7 km²), of which 1.6 square miles (4.1 km²) is land and 0.2 square miles (0.52 km²), or 8.99%, is water. The business district of town is on relatively flat land near the Allegheny River, but the main residential area is on the upward slope headed toward Oakmont Country Club and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Jordan Belfort (born July 9, 1962) is an American author, motivational speaker and former white collar criminal who spent 22 months in jail for offences related to stock market manipulation and running a boiler room. In the 1990s, he founded brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont which functioned as a boiler room, and developed a hard-partying lifestyle, which included a serious drug addiction (namely Quaaludes). The firm also served as inspiration for the 2000 film Boiler Room. As the owner of Stratton Oakmont, he employed over 1000 stockbrokers and was involved in stock issues totalling more than $1 billion, including an equity raising for footwear company Steve Madden Ltd.

Belfort was the final owner the 37m yacht the Nadine (renamed after his second wife) originally built for Coco Chanel which by the time it was sunk had been extended to over 50m. In June 1997, it sank off the east coast of Sardinia. The Italian Special Forces were called to rescue all aboard the vessel - no one was harmed. In his book, Belfort details how he insisted on sailing out in high winds against the advice of his Captain which eventually caused the ship to sink as result of violent waves smashing the foredeck hatch. Features of the Nadine included a helicopter, 8 jetskis and 4 or 5 tenders.

John Laurence Miller (born April 29, 1947) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour. He was one of the top players in the world during the mid-1970s; he ranked second in the world on Mark McCormack's world golf rankings in both 1974 and 1975 behind Jack Nicklaus. He is currently the lead golf analyst for NBC Sports, a position he has held since January 1990. He is also an active and successful golf course architect.

Miller was born and raised in San Francisco. In 1963, he joined the Olympic Club as a Junior Golf Section member, and became the top player on its junior team. He won the San Francisco city junior title in 1963 at age 16, and the following year won the 1964 U.S. Junior Amateur. He enrolled at Brigham Young University in 1965.

At the end of his freshman year, Miller qualified for the 1966 U.S. Open at the Olympic Club. His intimate knowledge of his home course helped him to finish in a tie for eighth place, the low amateur by three strokes, and earned him an invitation to the 1967 Masters. He won the California State Amateur Championship in 1968.
