Most low-key mob boss today?

Makes you wonder how involved he actually is.

That was not his house. His house was much more modest. The one posted was around the corner so that’s probably where the confusion stems from.

Since he seems to be the most mentioned , does Anyone have a recent pic of Barney? Where he lives ? Alleged net worth?

This is one of the more recent photos, relatively speaking.

This was identified as his home when he lived on Forest Rd in Pelham Manor. I think one of his kids own it now.

I don't remember the details but some were saying this was a Google satellite search that happened to catch Bellomo (right) and one of his sons.

When was he made anyway? I heard on one of the mafia sites he was made when he was 20 years old, someone clarify this.

Bellomo was made in 1977 at the age of 20.

Isn’t that an unusually early age to be made ?

Who was his sponsor & what crew he came from?

Yep, his son posted it on his social media:

Likely no more than he has to be. The 2016 Gangland News article identifying him as the boss said that he relayed orders through DiChiara. Probably doing the same thing with Ragusa now.

Take it for what it’s worth, but in one of their Q&A sessions, someone asked Borrello and Alite who was the most powerful gangster from their era, and Gene without hesitation said “Barney from the Bronx”. He said that was always the name he heard when the topic was discussed amongst other guys in the life.

Gene has also said things to the effect of “your boss Barney hated me, wanted me dead” when talking to Genovese guys. Anyone know the back story?

I got the impression that it had to do with Gene's cowboy ways, robbing whoever and what not. Hopefully he'll go into more details if he does write that book.

I agree. I have wondered that about Barney. A boss who isn’t around, isn’t meeting with members, isn’t being a leader in the traditional sense. He’s the boss in title. We all give him praise as the best boss but what does he actually do?

I think the Genovese have operated that way for over 3 decades... maybe when guys get made they’re told that Who’s his captain, the boss, Consiglieri, and UB. I was watching a podcast & a former street guy that ran with the Gambinos heard that the Genovese don’t report who’s who or what rank, they just say who’s made & who isn’t and that’s it.
