Don Vito Corleone, or commonly known as The Godfather, who was born in the small Sicilian village of Corleone, The godfather went on to build an empire revered by his contemporaries. His family name would rise to prominence thanks to his reputation and principles that allowed him build an army of individuals owing favors to their don. The Corleone’s are one of the 5 families that rule over New York and have influence stretching across the US and even abroad.
A crime family that in its prime was worth 1 billion dollars, in “legitimate” money through setting up legal fronts to hide his real activities. Problem is, that, no one knows exactly the extent of his businesses and investments both illegal & legitimate are worth except him and his consigliere. but after analyzing his rise to prominence and estimations of the trade of that time we can estimate the range in which the Corleone family was worth under Don Vito.
After years of suffering and determination vito rose to prominence and founded the Corleone family with his companions Peter Clemenza, Genco Abbandando and Salvatore Tessio.
He gained a reputation of being a “Man of respect” and began settling local disputes and soon although with reluctance he started accepting “gifts” from from local businesses and racket bosses in return for "ensuring that their patrons know that they are safe", and Vito was soon making a wage of $100 a week (approx. $2000 in today's currency). Vito, Clemenza and Tessio eventually took over the neighborhood, he then started a olive oil company, the company eventually become the biggest olive oil importers in the nation, thanks to Vito's "reasoning" with store owners. He used it as a legal front for his growing organized crime syndicate, while amassing a fortune with its "other" operations, which started during Prohibition era.
After years of building his organization and reputation, the godfather had finally established himself as one of the most powerful figures in New York, he had built a formidable network of lawyers, police officers, judges and so on who all owed the don a favor.
In total, with the consideration of all the Corleone family businesses, assets, investments and other streams of income, under Don Vito Corleone the family fortune is estimated at approximately $290 million, adjusted for inflation, it is worth a staggering $5 billion dollars.
This is however an estimation of all family assets and net worth, not necessarily how much they had in there bank accounts
If you would like a Part 2 we can discuss in depth on how each business contributed and examine his wealth in much more detail....
