It was a huge deal when John Gotti III decided to take up the boxing gloves and become a pro boxer. With his infamous family history, his boxing ambition has definitely made waves, especially with a notable fight against a legendary boxer like Floyd Mayweather. His move into boxing brings a new angle to his family’s legacy, and everyone is eyeing to see just how far he will go. Meanwhile, as the grandson of a notorious mob boss, everyone is curious about how much money Gotti III is making now and how much he has.
According to Marca, John Gotti Jr. had about $30 million when his dad, John Gotti Sr., passed away at 61. Notably, Gotti Sr. was even ranked ninth among the richest criminals worldwide. Since his passing, there’s been a big shift in the family’s finances, and their wealth has decreased slightly.

This financial dip might also explain why Gotti III turned his passion for combat sports into a professional career.
