During the 1940s-1960s era, New York's "fifth" borough of Staten Island was largely an underdeveloped community of residential neighborhoods and small businesses. Nonetheless it still boasted a thriving underworld Mecca where many mobsters resided with their wives and kids.

But among the many mafiosi who lived and operated on Staten Island over those early years which particular fellow was largely considered to be the "top dog" and a first among equals operating the rackets in that borough?

1) Joseph (Staten Island Joe) Riccobono
2. Alexander (Alex the Ox) DiBrizzi
3. Antonio (Tough Tony) Anastasio
4. Constantino (Big Paul) Castellano
5. Giorgio (Georgie Gillette) Gigliotti
