Guys like Accardo and Gambino were on top for so long prior to RICO, if they were smart, could have been worth up to $100 million

A question: when they have interests in construction or other legitimate businesses, do they formally own companies registered to them or do they use front men while they are formally unemployed themselves, like in Italy? For example, Toto' Riina was one of the most powerful mobsters, but formally he was just a peasant without property, what about American mobsters, Casso and Gravano in this case?
