It would be the same if the solider was a union boss he'd still kick up money to his captain. For example Gambino solider Richard Martino, who scammed something like 450 million from a couple of internet and phone cramming scams, kicked up to his captain Salvatore Locasio. Pretty sure Martino was making a lot more money than Locasio but since he was the captain supervising him he got his taste. The other way around would be Tommy Gambino controlling the garment district but still supervised a crew in Conneticut that made their money off of gambling.
