"While testifying against Gambino crime family boss Peter Gotti, DeFede exclaimed that all he made during his reign as acting boss was $1,014,000, or approximately $250,000 per year. DeFede also estimated that a low ranking family soldier would make on average $50,000 per year."


If I add inflation onto that estimate I'd have something close to an answer.

Kind of depressing when I got to answer my own questions.
