He built that ridicoulos "white house" mansion on staten island, don carlo had a nice but modest home, he shouldve learned from that. After he built the mansion he began to demand 15% from all the crews earnings when established protcol was 10% which every1 saw as just being to greedy. But theres no doubt about that he was a brillant bussiness man, i think i read somewhere that the gambino family was making around 500 million a year. But the bottom line seems to be that if wasnt so greedy and out of touch wit "the street" gotti wouldve mever have been able to gain enough support in the family to get away with what he did. And chicago when carlo died and big paul took over some estimates put the gambinos at 25 crews and 400 soldiers.
