InstagramGerard Gravano is married with 4 children.
Gravano remained in Arizona after he was released from prison. According to a search of state business records, he and his wife started a business called Impact Payment Options, LLC. The company was founded in 2016 and they were both listed on the official documents as managers of the company.
As of this writing, Impact Payment Options was still listed as an active business “in good standing” with the Arizona Corporation Commission. But the company was never accredited by the Better Business Bureau and the listed website address for the business is not active.
The state website lists at least three other businesses Gravano was previously involved with but are no longer active. He was listed as a manager for an organization called KGG Management, which shut down in 2020. Another company called Credit One LLC also shut down last year.
Gravano and his mother, Debra Gravano, ran a restaurant called Uncle Sal’s. The record lists Debra as the president and Gerard as the secretary. The business was registered with the state in 1997, before the family members were arrested for running the drug ring. There is still an active restaurant called Uncle Sal’s Italian Restaurant & Bar operating in Scottsdale but according to its website, a different family runs it.
Gravano Appears to Have a Solid Relationship With His Father
Before their arrests in 2000, Gerard Gravano and his father reportedly were at odds with each other. The New York Times, citing court documents, reported in 2001 that Sammy the Bull had been accused of plotting to kill Gerard’s then-girlfriend. The woman had reportedly “boasted” about “dating Sammy the Bull’s son.” Prosecutors said Sammy had threatened Gerard and even held him at gunpoint for “disrespecting the family.”
But father and son have mended fences. Gerard Gravano posted a photo of his father on Instagram in 2019 and wrote, “Happy Birthday Dad I’m so happy to have you back. You have always been my rock someone I can always count on to be there for me no matter what. Love you to death. #Bloodsthickerthanwater.”
