Estimates for John Gotti's income were around $10-12 million a year. Gravano was probably making around $1-3 million at that time.
Gravano's estimate for Gotti's income was $5-$12M. He didn't know but thought the higher number was more likely, and says he was kicking up 1-2M a year, which I think -- can't quite remember - but think he mentioned was about 75 percent of what he made. Which jibes with the $250k.

Which jibes with the $250k. The article states he got 200k a year from "control of unions in the city, extortions from construction companies in exchange for labor peace and from secret partnerships in construction companies" in addition to "hundreds of thousands a year" in juice. So we're already at 500k and this excludes his primary revenue source which were his own construction companies. He also had interests in nightclubs etc. He was making far more than 250k.
MORGAN: Why didn't you fight him at the park if you wanted to? I'm not goin' now, I'm eatin' my snack. CHUCKIE: Morgan, Let's go. MORGAN: I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'. WILL: So don't go.

If you read the NYT article that's pretty much what it says though, at least from the kickbacks. Not from the juice, apparently. Anyway, it was in all likelihood less than a million a year, and potentially less than half. For being in it 30 years, the number two Gambino and killing 19 people, in a much stronger era. Everyone can have their own opinion on what that suggests a Chicago or Detroit "associate" is pulling in these days; I know what mine is.

Between the available sources I've seen its $200K from kickbacks, "hundreds of thousands" in juice and $500k legit. They are all pretty consistent in that reporting. There is no reason to assume his illegal income exceeded $500k a year.
