I am sure there are others, but the below people we know were bigger earners than 80 percent of LCN:

Made guys include:
Tommy Gambino: Garmet Industry
Michael Franzese: Gas Scam (said to have made LCN over a billion
Anthony Casso: Everything you can think of
Anthony "Big Tony" Peraino: Financed the Porno "deep Throat" among many other things
Vinny Ocean: Was said to have been the most lucrative earner of his time that no one knew about. He kept millions stashed in his back yard
Al Capone: If you translate moneys worth into todays value he would be the biggest earner in LCN history
Sammy Gravano: I dont think many people ever realized how much this guy earned because he kicked up HUGE percentages to Gotti. He literally kicked up 50 percent of his earnings. Capeci once said that if no other member of the Gambinos gave Gotti a dime he could have lived off Gravano two life times over.
Vinvent Dinapoli: Was on Forbes Magazines "top 10 richest USA Mobsters) Can anyone find that list? I have tried and cannot
Eddie Lino: Most active gambino capo on the streets, big time earner even while associate, then soldier and carried it through to capo. One of the few capos who loved to get his hands dirty.
Gerrard Pappa: was a big earner, read that a few times, not sure what he dabbled in.
Carmine Lombardozi: Gambino Capo



Non Made guys (associates):
Frank rosenthal
Joe "the German" Watts
Burt Kaplan
James "jimmy the Gent" Burke
Meyer Lanski


I am sure there are many more, these come to mind.

FYI- Anyone in the Bonnano Family other than Big Joey should not be mentioned and even him you cant consider a "huge earner" as most of his time was spent either as a boss or top tier level. The earners are the soldiers, associates and some capos. Bosses should never be mentioned, they nod their head and snap their fingers and get kick ups, they dont earn. They were left out of the joint ventures forever with the comission. You can only make so much money off street rackets. Unions, Construction, Concrete, legit businesses is where the money was at.

Myth: The huge drug traffickers in LCN made great money no doubt, it was usually either to short lived or kept from the bosses for it to be what you would call a "massive earning racket". The Bonnanos as we all know relied on this for years while cut out of the comission joint ventures. Still GREAT money but if you look, most drug traffickers considered "big earners" had other things besides the drugs, Like Demao's car theft ring.
