Getting back to the topic, I would have to estimate that Joe Profaci may have been one of the wealthiest mobsters in America with his Olive Oil Company...he made a fortune.
i read somewhere once it was estimated that profaci was worth 70 million. how about carlo gambino he had to have been worth at least as much as profaci and probably more.
Not for certain...Profaci built an EMPIRE with his legitimate company, Colavita Olive Oil. Carlo had his rackets, but not a legitimate powerhouse corporation like Profaci. Plus, Profaci had 30 years at the helm. Gambino had a bigger family, but Profaci had legitimate enterprises and was a brilliant business man. Carlo married his first cousin...nuff said!
