Most Powerful Mafia Bosses Of All Time Ranked by Ex Mobster

“I’m ranking the 25 greatest mob bosses of all time—and some of you won’t like my choices.”
I break them down into five categories: The GOAT (Greatest of All Time), The Big Timers, The Power Players, The Contenders, and The Show Offs. These aren’t just names from movies. I knew some of these guys personally, worked with others, and heard the real stories from people who were there.
You’ll see bosses who built empires that lasted decades. Guys who had politicians and judges in their pockets. Some controlled entire cities, others made millions every week. And yeah, some were absolutely ruthless when they had to be.
From Fat Tony Salerno to bosses you’ve probably never heard of but should know about—this is the real hierarchy of American organized crime. The guys who really ran things behind the scenes.
Some of my choices might surprise you. Others will make perfect sense. But every name on this list earned their place through power, influence, and the ability to survive in a world where one wrong move could be your last.
Let me know where you think I got it right—and where you think I’m completely wrong.
