Also, I know the whole point of the thread in general is to highlight how 'average' the money these guys pull down really is, especially in comparison to what we've seen in the past and what's shown in the media and on movies.
But still...
By the time Massino was in boss mode, full swing, and pulling in that $1.8 - $2 MM / year - he really wasn't doing much at all. Hanging out at his restaurant, and meeting guys under his own terms - making them come to him - to pass orders and settle disputes. I know he risked a lot and put in work to get to that point, but $2MM/year clean, untaxed, for almost doing nothing isn't bad. Even if he was taking and making less money, Massino put himself in position to have his day to day be a lot easier than the bosses who came before him (from what it sounds like)
