An American former mobster and captain of the Colombo crime family, Michael Franzese has amassed a net worth of $1 million. Born in Brooklyn, New York in May 1951, Michael is the child of the well-known Colombo underboss, John “Sonny” Franzese. Opting to leave college, he took on the role of a capo regime (captain) for a crew within the Colombo family. Involved in gasoline bootlegging rackets, he sold millions of gallons of gas in collaboration with the Russian Mafia. In 1986, he made it to #18 on Fortune Magazine’s list of the Fifty Most Wealthy and Powerful Mafia Bosses and accrued more wealth than any crime family member since Al Capone. Additionally, he partnered with booking agent Norby Walters to secure a role for Walters in Michael Jackson’s US tour through extortion.
Michael also co-founded Motion Picture Marketing. In 1986, he faced indictment on 14 counts of various crimes including racketeering, counterfeiting, and extortion pertaining to the gasoline bootlegging operations, leading to a 10-year prison sentence and $14 million in restitution. Choosing to part ways with the Colombo family in 1989, he was released the same year. In 1991, he was sentenced to four years for probation violation but was released by 1994. His autobiography, Quitting the Mob, was released in 1992. Currently, he serves as the founder and chairman of the Breaking Out Foundation and works as a motivational speaker.
