Of course it's not going to be like the movies anymore, because they can't be so blatant about it anymore in today's Surveillance State. But if you're judging their financial status by the clothes they wear, that's just ignorant. Billionaires like Bill Gates dress like shit, they look like they shop at the Salvation Army. Cosa Nostra boss Bernardo Provenzano sat on top of the entire Sicilian Mafia yet was found in a dilapidated farmhouse, Ndrangheta bosses are found all the time in underground bunkers living like rats. Chin Gigante stumbled around in a bathrobe and slippers. On the flip-side, you have guys wearing high fashion but are neglecting their utility bills. These things really mean nothing.
Liggio dont compare the mob with italian oc gruops!
In italy its normal to go on the lam for years and if you are on the run you certainly can't live in luxury villas! Provenzano ruled Cosa Nostra through his pizzini, many bosses of the Ndrangheta manage millionaire business and then have to hide in the Aspromonte mountains in bunkers equipped with all the comforts, same thing for the Camorra.
There few cases of american mobsters that ruled on his family while was on the run.
