I don't think you can count legacies like Franzese or Junior Gotti or Tore LoCascio or Craig DePalma. They grow up with a different mindset than your average entitled suburban kid. And even there, it's tough to make real gangsters out of them. For every Tore LoCascio, there are ten Craig DePalmas (who was a good kid, but he was no gangster).

I've said it here a million times. It's very difficult to develop a true gangster mentality when you grow up wanting for nothing. There are anomalies, of course. But they're few and far between.
