Wouldn't guys like Anthony Scotto have made a lot more than John Gotti? Gotti was a degenerate gambler who didn't have a pot to piss in a lot of the time. He still lived in a modest house and didn't really have enough nous or time on the street to enjoy the fruits of his "labor".
I'm sure there's other examples in that family alone. Tommy Gambino, too, with the proviso that he was the old boss's son.
That is definitely true, as in the real world some mobsters are definitely better with money than others. Another example in that family are Torre Locascio and Richie Martino, they made a ridiculous amount of money in that scam that they ran back in the 90's. Locascio supposedly bought his way into retiring from the family, Martino might have as well.
