Throughout the '80s, organized crime leader John Gotti was known for his bombastic personality
and his role as head of the infamous Gambino crime family.
But even after Gotti died in jail in 2002, his offspring have gained notoriety of their
own.
Here's a look at what life is like for the Gotti family now.
John A. Gotti (John Gotti Jr.)
Gotti's oldest son, John Gotti Jr., initially followed in his father's footsteps.
"That's old school and that's the way I was raised."
According to the New York Times, in 1999, Jr. was found guilty of various mob-related
crimes and sentenced to prison.
After his 2004 release, he faced four separate trials on racketeering charges, though he
was never found guilty.
By 2010, he claimed that he'd made the decision to quote leave "the life" during his first
stint in prison.
Lately, Jr. has been focused squarely on legitimate income streams.
He released a book, Shadow of My Father, in 2015, and reportedly served as an advisor
on the 2017 biopic Gotti.
"I said a lotta things that could get a lotta people in trouble."
Jr. now lives in Long Island with his wife and six children.
And as of 2018, he was working on a book and film project called Witsec Mafia, aimed at
rooting out crime and corruption in the Witness Relocation program.
"And hopefully it'll generate a senate hearing or something along those lines."
John J. Gotti
Unfortunately for Jr.'s nephew, John J. Gotti, the life of crime caught up with him in his
early 20s.
Per the New York Post, he was sentenced to eight years behind bars in March 2017, after
pleading guilty to charges of "conspiracy" and quote, "two counts of possession and intent
to sell narcotics."
According to NBC, John J. was then separately charged with quote, "two counts of conspiracy
to commit arson and two counts of conspiracy to commit bank robbery" for an unrelated incident
in 2012.
He then pled guilty in June 2017.
The following March, a judge sentenced him to five years in prison on an arson charge
for the previous year.
Angel Gotti
Angel Gotti is John Sr.'s oldest child and is dedicated to keeping her father's legacy
alive.
She runs the official Shadow of My Father Facebook page and keeps the conversation about
her beloved dad alive on social media.
She's also shared a peek at some behind-the-scenes footage of the movie based on her family,
Gotti.
"Swear it.
Swear it on your kid's grave, you won't kill me."
Victoria Gotti
With stints on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Mob Wives, and of course, Growing
Up Gotti, John Sr.'s daughter Victoria has been perhaps the most visible member of the
family in recent years.
She once said of her dad,
"He just always had this charisma about him.
That when he walked in a room, everybody's head turned."
Like her brother, Victoria penned a book; the New York Times-bestseller This Family
of Mine: What It Was Like Growing Up Gotti, and also published a cookbook, Hot Italian
Dish, in 2006.
In 2019, Victoria narrated her very own biopic, Victoria Gotti: My Father's Daughter.
"What do people say about what you do?"
Frank Gotti Agnello
Frank Gotti Agnello is the youngest of Victoria's brood, and with his two brothers, made up
the cast of Growing Up Gotti.
"I wanna go on a blind date too.
The biggest slut in New York.
Gimme her."
After the show wrapped, Frank published the book, Gotti Diet, branded as the program that
quote, "turned the Fatty Gotti into the Hottie Gotti."
According to In Touch, as of 2017, Frank works at the family's auto parts shop in Queens,
N.Y.
Carmine Gotti Agnello, Jr.
Other than a brief appearance on VH1's But Can They Sing, Victoria's oldest son, Carmine
Gotti Agnello Jr., has mostly skirted the spotlight.
Y'know, besides starring on Growing Up Gotti.
"You have any regrets?"
"The fighting.
That's about it."
According to In Touch, he works with his brothers at the auto parts store.
Newsday reported Agnello, now in his thirties, was arrested and charged in criminal court
in 2018 for the crime of operating an automotive scrap and recycling yard without a license.
John Gotti Agnello
John Gotti Agnello, the middle of Victoria's three boys, wed long-time girlfriend Alina
Sanchez in 2015.
"The half hour in front of the mirror gives me 3 hours in the bedroom later on."
Guests were reportedly required to shell out a minimum of $5,000 as a gift, and according
to Us Weekly, the couple raked in a whopping $2.5 million on their big day.
While he, of course, works at the auto parts shop, John's wife gave birth to their son,
John, in 2016.
John "Jr." Gotti
Gotti grandson, John "Jr." Gotti, doesn't work at the family auto parts shop.
Instead, he's building a name for himself in the world of MMA, telling Bleacher Report
in 2017,
"Nobody in my family ever pursued sports to this degree or became a professional athlete…I
share the name 'John Gotti.'
I want to put it in a positive spotlight and show people that I'm a hard-working kid and
I'm dedicated to this game."
As of 2019, he boasts a career professional record of 4-0-0.
