Sammy Gravano Net Worth


**Sammy Gravano Net Worth**
Salvatore Gravano has a reported net worth of $2 Million, is a former underboss of an underground mafia organization called the Gambino crime family. Gravano became known for helping the US Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) take down John Gotti, the boss of the organization. Born in Brooklyn, New York City, of Italian descent, Gravano is the son of Giorlando “Gery” Gravano and Caterina “Kay” Gravano, the youngest of three siblings. His father was the owner of a small dress factory in their neighbourhood in Brooklyn.

Gravano was known for having a hard time in school and at 13 had already become part of a street gang called the Rampers in their neighborhood. In 1964, he was drafted into the US Army, served most of his time as a mess hall cook, and after two years was honorably discharged. Within two years of leaving the Army, he became part of an underground criminal group known as the Cosa Nostra, which began his association with the mafia, and the start of his wealth. From small-time crimes like gambling, hijackings, and loansharking, he soon rose to high-level business operations like constructions, garbage disposal, and even plumbing and drywall businesses while being involved in the mafia. His businesses tremendously increased his wealth and also helped his ranking rise in the crime family.

Gravano soon became well-known in the mafia world when he took down the Gambino family boss, Paul Castellano, with the help of John Gotti, Frank DeCicco, Angelo Ruggiero, and Joseph Armone. The death of Castellano elevated him as an underboss in the family, while John Gotti claimed the rank of being the new boss. However, Gravano came to dislike how Gotti ran the crime family, and decided to cooperate with the government and testify against Gotti. He became one of the highest ranking members in the mafia world to become an FBI informant and one of the few to ever break the blood oath. His action drew a lot of buzz in the media and also influenced some of his former mafia members to become government witnesses. His testimony led to Gotti receiving a life sentence, and himself a reduced sentence of five years, but having already served four, he was released in 1994. Gravano entered the US Witness Protection Program and lived in Arizona with a new name and started a new business; however, he disliked the many constraints the government placed on his life and decided to leave the program.

Gravano is married to Debra Scibetta, and they have two children. He wrote a book entitled “Underboss” with author Peter Mass in 1997. His constant television appearances and interviews to promote his book and its sales have helped with his net worth. It was later discovered that he became part of an ecstasy trafficking organization and was subsequently sentenced to 20 years in prison, and Gravano is now serving time in Arizona state prison, set to be released in 2019.

– Gravano was the second-in-command to New York Mafia boss John Gotti.
