Rev. Louis R. Gigante was a Roman Catholic priest who is the son of Italian immigrants and the brother of New York mobsters, swaggered over the crime-ridden and decaying South Bronx with a baseball bat and a development company that built and made thousands of low-income apartments.
A New York City priest Rev. Louis Gigante who passed away earlier this year was famous for being the devoted dedicated brother of a Mafia boss who left behind two surprises and revelations a fortune and wealth of $7 million and an adult son.

According to a published post by The Daily Beast, the 32-year-old Gino Gigante stated that they had a quiet life and Father Gigante was proud of him and also they did everything together. Gino received his inheritance and legacy from Gigante, who owned a development company in the Bronx and this is how revealed that Rev. Louis Gigante had a son.
The revelation reveals and exposes a brazen disregard and disrespect for one of the Catholic Church’s tenets, which states that priests must remain celibate. Salvatore Arena who is a former New York Daily News reporter who is working and employed on a book proposal about Father Gigante and looked up his last will has made the discovery in recent weeks.
Rev. Louis R. Gigante left almost all of those earnings to his son in a trust until he turned 40 which he estimated and probably to be more than $7 million.
