Victoria Gotti is a daughter of the late Gambino crime family Mafia boss, John Gotti, and his wife Victoria, and was the star of Growing Up Gotti, on the A&E Network. She claimed she had breast cancer in August 2005. However, after being accused of feigning her illness by some media outlets, she admitted soon after her initial announcement that she did not have full-blown cancer but rather had “precancerous cells” present in her breast. Her publicist, Matt Rich, quit after the false breast cancer incident. Victoria Gotti’s ex-husband got 10 years for racketeering, she got the Long Island mansion and $25,000 a month - and now the feds want to get paid.

The total package is estimated to be worth $7 million over the course of Gotti’s life and John, 20, and Frank, 17, collecting until they reach adulthood.

That wasn’t all the Mafia princess got:

• Gotti got the mansion in Old Westbury, L.I., which was on the market for $3.9 million in 2006, but a government lien still hangs over the 4-acre estate.
• Agnello, 47, was granted visitation rights but paid the bill for the boys to travel to federal prison. He is due to be sprung soon.
• Agnello was ordered to maintain a $1 million life insurance policy that would pay Gotti $400,000 and her sons $600,000 when he dies.

As the daughter of a serial killer, Victoria Gotti has done okay for herself: hack novelist, supermarket tabloid scribbler, and, now, star of the A&E reality TV show “Growing Up Gotti.” Personally, we don’t think much of the program or Gotti and her three mook sons (we’re waiting for “Meet the McVeighs” or “At Home with the Attas”).
