Discuss. Also what is the average income of an associate or soldier?

While testifying against Gambino crime family boss Peter Gotti, Joe 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.

U can make more than that just peddling pot. These guys usually make a lot of money but they spend it just as fast . So are the rich prob not. Pocket rich may B a better definition

this seems like one of those topics that there really is never gonna be a concrete answer on. kinda like asking how much does a lawyer make? very subjective and it can vary greatly. with that said $50,000 for a made man in one of the five families seems very low to me. at that rate why not just get a job as a manuel laborer and not have to worry about going to jail? Well, avoiding manual labor and school but still making decent money is kind of the point of being a mobster, at least for many. There are people who will do ANYTHING to avoid working.

good point guys. DD, you live in NYC so tell me how stressful would it be to only make $50,000 a year with a family while also having to worry about prison? you also have to worry about having to explain how you made that money to the tax man as the days of living off the grid seem to be over at least in the major cities. It would be very stressful and you couldnt really support yourself. Some guys make tons of money some guys are constantly broke in the mob.

Discuss. Also what is the average income of an associate or soldier? You cant exactly or estimate how much an outsider makes. A Mobster has to set up his own thing and try not to tell the boss. You have to make a certain amount I think..
