Sammy The Bull Gravano is an Italian-American criminal, with a net worth of $500,000 as per Celebrity Net Worth. Salvatore Gravano or Sammy the Bull, is the former underboss for the Gambino crime family based in New York City.
Former President Donald Trump, on January 13, shared an interview of Gravano from last week by YouTuber Dj Vlad in which the former mobster called Trump, "a legitimate guy." The tweet was later deleted.

Known for aiding the FBI in bringing down the family boss John Gotti by becoming a government witness, Sammy has made money from his book and media interviews. His earnings also come from selling his products, Patreon, TikTok, Podcasts, and YouTube videos.
Sammy joined the U.S. Army in Fort Jackson, California in 1964 as a mess hall cook before slowly rising through the ranks. He then took the position of a corporal and was given an honorable discharge two years later.
