So how much $$$ are they generating for the family in general?


You're not going to get a answer to this because no one can actually say whether or not they are still recognized as Bonannos. Everyone has their opinions here but none of that proves anything.

In the early 2000s Dominick Cicale was told by Baldo Amato that Sal Montagna was collecting tribute for Vincent Basciano from Montreal at Christmas time and it was increased from 50k to 100k which they agreed to. Baldo Amato was close to the Montreal Bonannos and was close to and a mentor to Sal Montagna. It's not a primary source but it does come from someone who would be in a position to know.

They didn't Raynald Desjardins did. That's a important distinction to remember because it wasn't the Montreal Bonanno members who had him killed.
