What is Victoria Gotti's Net Worth?

Victoria Gotti is a reality television personality and writer who has a net worth of $200 thousand.

Victoria Gotti is best known as the daughter of Gambino crime boss John Gotti and the star of the A&E series "Growing Up Gotti." Over the course of her career, she has worked as a journalist, authored multiple books, and built a media presence that blends personal storytelling with her family's infamous legacy. Before entering reality television, Gotti established herself as a writer with a long-running column at the New York Post and television work as a reporter for WNYW in New York. She later transitioned into publishing, releasing both nonfiction and mystery novels, including a memoir about her upbringing. Her mainstream fame surged in the mid-2000s with "Growing Up Gotti," which centered on her life as a single mother raising three sons. In the years since, she has remained a recurring figure in reality television and produced a biographical film about her life. Her public narrative has often been shaped by a mix of personal health struggles, financial challenges, and continued scrutiny tied to her family name.

Early Life

Victoria Gotti was born on November 27, 1962, in Brooklyn, New York, to John Gotti, the future head of the Gambino crime family, and his wife Victoria. She was raised in Queens alongside her siblings, including John Gotti Jr., in a household that, for much of her childhood, attempted to shield the children from the realities of her father's criminal life. Her mother reportedly told the family that her father worked as a plumbing contractor during his frequent absences.

In 1992, when Victoria was 30, her father was convicted of racketeering and multiple murders and sentenced to life in prison without parole. He died in prison in 2002. His conviction and notoriety permanently tied Victoria's identity to one of the most famous organized crime figures in American history.

Journalism Career

Before becoming a television personality, Gotti built a legitimate career in media. She worked as a reporter for WNYW, New York City's Fox flagship station, and became a columnist for the New York Post, where she developed a reputation as a recognizable voice in local media. This period of her career established her professional identity independent of her family background and laid the foundation for her later work as an author.

Writing and Publishing

Gotti transitioned into book writing in the mid-1990s. Her first book, "Women and Mitral Valve Prolapse," was published in 1995 and drew directly from her own long-term health struggles with heart disease. She later moved into fiction, publishing a series of mystery novels including "The Senator's Daughter," "I'll Be Watching You," and "Superstar."

In 2009, she released her memoir, "This Family of Mine: What It Was Like Growing Up Gotti," offering a detailed account of her upbringing and family dynamics. Her writing career has consistently blended personal experience with elements of drama and suspense, reinforcing her public persona as both storyteller and subject.

Growing Up Gotti

Victoria Gotti's national profile rose significantly in 2004 with the debut of "Growing Up Gotti" on A&E. The series followed her life as a single mother raising her three sons, including Carmine Agnello, in the wake of her divorce. The show ran for three seasons and became one of the network's most recognizable early reality programs.

The series helped reshape her public image, presenting her less as a mob figure's daughter and more as a strict but devoted parent managing a chaotic household. A decade later, she returned for a reunion special, "Growing Up Gotti: Ten Years Later."

Beyond her own show, Gotti made appearances on several reality programs, including "The Celebrity Apprentice," "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," and "Mob Wives." In 2019, she co-wrote and executive-produced the Lifetime biographical film "Victoria Gotti: My Father's Daughter," further cementing her role as a narrator of her own story.

Personal Life

Going against the caution of her parents, Gotti wed mobster Carmine Agnello in 1984. They had three sons named Carmine, John Jr., and Frank before divorcing in 2003 when Agnello was in jail. As part of the divorce, Gotti was awarded Agnello's $3.2 million mansion, which was later foreclosed on in 2009.

New York Mansion

In 1989, Victoria and her then-husband, Carmine Agnello, paid $175,000 for a 4-acre property in Old Westbury, New York. Over the next few years, they constructed what became an appropriately gaudy 7,000 square foot mansion. This is the mansion that was featured in the reality series "Growing Up Gotti," which ran from 2004 to 2007 on A&E.

Carmine was arrested on a variety of mafia-related charges in 2000, and in October 2001, he was sentenced to serve 9 years in prison and forfeit $10 million worth of assets. Carmine and Victoria divorced in 2003 "on grounds of constructive abandonment."

In 2004, Victoria became the sole legal owner of the mansion, which is located at 6 Birch Hill Ct, Old Westbury, NY 11568:

Unfortunately, all was not well with Victoria and her mansion.

In 2016, the mansion was raided by the FBI, allegedly in connection with a fraud investigation involving Victoria and her three sons. And in the meantime, Victoria spent over a decade fighting foreclosure with her bank, JPMorgan Chase. By 2009, Victoria reportedly had not made a single payment on the home in two years when JP Morgan filed a claim that apparently showed she owed $650,000.

To clear her debts, Victoria attempted to sell the mansion a number of times over the years. She listed it for sale in December 2008 for $3.5 million. She then upped the price to $4.8 million.

By late 2021, the home was abandoned and had slipped into utter disrepair, with the pool filling with algae and the landscape overgrowing and dying. In September 2021, a YouTuber did a tour of the abandoned property:

Unfortunately, no buyers came forward, and the home was sold at auction in October 2022. The buyer, who paid $2.65 million, was JPMorgan Chase.
