Speaking of Albert Anastasia, was he even wealthy? I read that he lost that mansion in New Jersey because he couldn't keep up with his payments. How true is that? I can't imagine the head of the Gambino Family having money problems.
Some CN bosses died penniless mainly because of their fanatical dedication to the Cosa Nostra ideology, but I dont think that Anastasia belonged to that same group mainly because of he allegedly selling membership which means (if true) the guy didnt care much about that same CN ideology. Similar as Giancana and some other guys, who again similar as Anastasia, were all about money and connections/power. In plane words, Anastasia was probably a millionare and his brother Tough Tony might be the proof for that.
