^ I agree but when you're talking about assets, especially real estate that was bought buy these guys back in the 60s and 70s, its probably better to be conservative with the dollar amount these guys were pulling in each year. Like a house in Howard Beach bought in the 60s for a hundred grand could easily be worth at least 1 million today. Shit... a full house almost anywhere in the boroughs bought back then is probably worth 7 to 10 times more today. I think Massino owned 3 houses or something, plus a bakery and a restaurant. When they made him forfeit $10MM at least half of that was in property that skyrocketed in value over the years... and the other half was a number the government came up with that they predicted he made on rackets and then inflated.

I'm not trying to be a sticker but I have a hard time these guys are pulling in HUGE money today. Im just guessing but my guess is the most theoretically succesful top guys on the street today are making like 300 Grand a year
