I think the Genovese have had the best individual earners historically and during the “golden age” of the mafia. They had names like Salerno, Catena, Gigante, Napoli, Cirillo, etc. You could say the Gambinos with guys like Gambino(before he became boss), Tommy Gambino, DeMeo, Castellano, John & Rosario Gambino, Gravano, DiBernardo, Lombardozzi etc. I think another family that would have to be thrown in the mix is the Colombos with people like Franzese and the 2 alleged former Colombo soldiers who are currently worth hundreds of millions of dollars each due to their legitimate businesses. As a family, the Colombos probably never matched up to the wealth and power of the Gambinos or the Genoveses but they clearly had tremendous individual earners who could carry a crime family as they were supposedly making millions of dollars a week(if that is to be believed). Franzese actually said in an interview recently that Tony Salerno told him that he was welcome to switch to the Genovese family. Must’ve wanted a piece of that gas scam.
