He married his longtime girlfriend, Kay Adams, in 1950. After his father's death in 1955, he assumed control of the Corleone crime family, and arranged the murders of the leaders of the New York Mafia's other ruling families: Don Barzini, Philip Tattaglia, Leo Cuneo, and Victor Stracci. He also orders a hit on prominent Las Vegas casino owner Moe Greene, and Carlo Rizzi, his brother-in-law.
