Former notorious mob boss of the 80s, captain of the Colombo crime family, author, father, husband, family man, after 10 years in prison, this former “Prince of the Mafia” is now a motivational speaker.
Born in Brooklyn New York, Michael Franzese is the son of reputed Colombo underboss John “Sonny” Franzese. After finishing high school, Franzese entered Hofstra University and started a premed program to become a doctor. However, in October 1975 Franzese decided to quit college and take care of his father and work for the Colombo family.
By the 1980s, he had become a caporegime, or captain, of a crew.
Michael Franzese grew up as the son of the notorious Underboss of New York’s violent and feature Colombo crime family. Franzese was “one of the biggest money earners the Mob had seen since Al Capone” and the youngest individual on Fortune magazines list of The Fifty Biggest Mafia Bosses, ranking #18, just five behind John Gotti. At his most affluent, he generated
an estimated $5 to $8 million per week from legal and illegal business. It was a life filled with power and luxury ………. and deadly violence.
Michael’s story is a modern-day Damascus Road experience, from his early days to the Mob and rise to power to leading him to do the unthinkable: quit the Mob and follow his faith.
In fact, nobody of Franzese’s rank has ever just walked away – and lived. Until now.
Determined to use the experiences of his former life for the benefit of others, Michael’s compelling testimony explodes from deep passion to inspire others to make positive changes in their lives against intimidating odds. Michael’s amazing story and engaging delivery have brought record attendance to events wherever he speaks in the USA and the UK.
He candidly explains how he survived dozens of grand jury appearances, three major racketeering indictments, five criminal trials, and seven years in prison and a Mafia death sentence.
His unique perspective and direct approach captivates all kinds of audiences, from teens to athletes to business execs to the average seeker trying to make it on his/her own in the world.
