As much as I would like to say Pittsburgh, I would say Chicago made the most money outside NY, by far.

But I do think Pittsburgh had much more money, influence and power than many other outside of NY families, just not the most. From the casino they owned in Cuba, to California, to Detroit, to NY.
During the 1960 World Series, John LaRocca hosted a group of Outfit big shots in Pittsburgh and got them tickets, the FBI has photos of them together at the game(s).

*Honorable Mention*
I think Trafficante may have had more money and power than given credit for because he had legit relationships with every single family in the country. I think he was getting a piece from many families who operated in Florida.



A logical answer Millspgh. So here's the count;
Chicago 4
Detroit 4
New Orleans 1
Lucchese 1
Pittsburgh 1
Trafficante 1
