Only the five families from NY are like that. Tony’s crew is irrelevant, small and poor compared to the real mafia.

Literally no one but the capos of well connected crews lived like that. At the heyday of the Mob in the 60's, 70's and 80's the average soldier in any family wasn't making more than $20k a year. Mobsters constantly killed their own Bosses that had money making enterprises themselves, and still squeezed dimes from their soldiers while prohibiting them from dealing drugs which was the most lucrative business.

and the smartest guys lived modestly no matter how much money they had in their mattress or buried in the backyard. Carlo Gambino, the head of arguably the countrys most notorious mafia family and most powerful mafia family at the peak of the mafias heyday, through the 1950s, 60s and 70s, lived in the same house as he had for 50 years, driving the same modest car and wearing the same modest clothes. Outwardly he appeared to be some old italian grandfather like so many others living in Brooklyn at the time.
The guys who dressed loud and flashy didnt last. Al Capone, John Gotti, etc. etc., they get busted and go to prison. The most powerful mobsters are guys that 99.99 % of people have never even heard of.

I mean if they're not making that much bank why not just open up a legit construction business or something like that?

although not entirely comparable to the mob, i think one leader of a yakuza clan still took the subway to work every day

those are t.v. shows made to scare you away from the mob and teach you to be a good tool to the evil government who is actually good. stop taking tv so seriously.
Anthony Cooper
>John Gotti
Sammy The Bull said that basically Gotti was a dumbo that got made boss because no one else, especially Sammy, wanted to take the position.
If John wouldn't have done it, someone else would. Castellano completely lost it before that, they were sort of justified in taking him out.

id say the yakuza is comparable to the mob. the underworld is the underworld, it doesnt matter which secret society/organized cult with blood rituals for membership is in control at the top, its the same thing. they all operate on the same principles, some tighter or looser than others, but its all the same.
despite Castellano being a greedy prick who ate alone and shunned the street guys, those where his only faults, everything else is a part of the Gotti myth that it had to be done, like its all some honorable thing and they're all knights at war. Castellano and the other bosses he worked with saw a larger picture beyond any one family, its why they were all working together now to make business deals and control the unions and everything else that was going down in Manhattan.
No one really wants to be the boss. Like Tony says it only ends one of three ways. Some of the most interesting figures in organized crime history are the ones who ruled from behind the scenes and let a street boss or acting boss think he was in charge, only to end up taking the hits, like how Tony used Junior in season 1. Paul Ricca and Tony Accardo ran Chicago for 30 years after the Capone and Nitti eras, using a series of buffer "street" bosses, who couldn't really do anything without first getting the OK from Ricca and Accardo.
Nicholas Cook
Based. I would've been fine with a spinoff focused on just him and Ralphie as main characters. They were too good for the source material.
James Thompson
the Neapolitans like Capone and Gotti never lasted as boss, while the quite Sicilians like Sal Maranzano, Paul Castellano, Carlo Gambino, Johnny Torrio, are calm and collected and ruled relatively well until some hotblooded Neapolitan came gunning for them.
Cooper Jackson
Michael Franzese claims that he was making 8 million dollars a week at his best moment. And according to Forbes he wasn’t even in the top 20 of richest mafia bosses.
Ryan Roberts
the guy is an obvious hack.
Landon Murphy
Because Tony, the "boss" of the NJ family, is little more than a capo in one of the Five Families, by comparison. They mention several times that the whole DiMeo "family" is basically a glorified crew.
Josiah Kelly

James Torres
I dunno, there was a larger picture there sure, but they were still pending trial at the Comission case. Paul would've still went to prison. The post Comission trial period of the NY Mob is so crazy, the power vacuum and negative selection propelled guys that were straight serial killers like Gaspipe Casso to power.
Joshua Ward
Michael Franzese is a retard who has made a career out of lying.

The Mafia, Yakuza, Russian mob and other Crime Organization work as secret societies
The identity of the people who are actually running those crime enterprises is unknown, we don’t have pictures of them and we will probably never know their names.
Blake Brown
He was one guy against how many other capos? The Mob is an essential blue collar lifestyle, not everyone lived like Michael. The FBI were able to get Donnie Brasco in so deep mainly because Sonny Black's crew was DESPERATE for money and the Bonnano's were basically disintegrating from internal power struggles, it's in the actual story not just the movie.
Jackson Richardson
Sounds like jealousy

you don't know the mob bro. and if you did and posted here about it you would be a liability.
Mason Bennett
tony was extremely poor despite being the boss of new jersey. even mike stoklasa makes more money than him.
Justin Adams
Sure, but the primary factor in the bigger picture stuff was Chin Gigante, who wasn't taken down as part of the Commission case, his front boss Tony Ducks Corallo took the fall. It probably would have fallen apart with the Gambinos anyway, it seemed doom to that since Castellano was just too focused on his own high end stuff and didnt give a shit about the street faction. So if he had lived to go to prison, Tommy Bilotti would have likely been named to takeover and run the day to day for Paul, and Gotti definitely would have whacked him too.
Yeah there was always maniac killers like Casso and DiMeo, but they all had their leashes. Vic Amuso and Gigante had Casso on a leash and Castellano had DiMeo on one until DiMeo proved no longer useful.
Franzese is an obiously liar and that not withstanding his father was a major figure in the Lucchese family, so its plain to see Michael would have benefited greatly from that and used that to his advantage. And even still, we're talking Michael Franzese, a capo in the Lucchese family, one of the biggest mafia organizations in the country. The guys making more money than him are all bosses or very high level capos who have hundreds of guys at least under their direct command. And Franzese was involved with lucrative white collar rackets like gas tax scams, something blue collar guys couldnt compete with hustling on the street ripping each other off.

The structure, history and current leaders of mafia are very well known.

Julian Sanders
The Mafia work as a secret society, because it was established by Freemasons (Mazzini). The Yakuza and the Vorovsky Khod (Russian mob) are absolutely not "secret societies". Yakuza's register with the fucking government, and Russian Vory (made guys) get automatically expelled if they publically deny being a career criminal to the police.
why are you making definitive statements on topics you obviously know nothing about?
Anthony Allen
the "bosses" that get arrested are nothing more than faces, front men, taking the fall for the real bosses behind the scenes
William Williams
Bentley Parker
you dont know for certain who is in charge of the Five Families today right now. we know who was arrested and that they claimed to be the boss or the underboss or whoever, but its all conjecture they could easily just be faces, sacrificial lambs given up so the government could appear to have its victory and the mafia could retreat into the shadows and continue operations.
Aiden Jenkins
Yea well whatever they are, they make us a lot of money
David Evans
I saw a doc on some mob boss in the 30a and 40s. He was a respected business man and I believe he was the first billionaire. No one knew he was the boss until long after his death. I cant remember who it was, though. I saw that doc like 10 years ago
Julian Ramirez
Me on the far right
Elijah Wood
Meyer Lansky was the mobs accountant and Lucianos partner, aka he basicaly ran the entire Cosa Nostra. His nephew would have you believe he died penniless. He died an old man in his bed, a very rare thing in the mafia circle. He had hundreds of millions of dollars even back then in the 60s. bankrolled things in Vegas and the casinos in Havana and all the gambling in Florida and along the gulf coast.
