Born as Maier Suchowljansky in Grodno (now Belarus) in 1902, Meyer Lansky immigrated with his family to New York City's Lower East Side in the year 1911. Like many immigrant families in the early twentieth century, the Lanskys faced significant hardship and poverty. However, even as a young boy, Meyer displayed a keen intellect and a natural talent for mathematics, skills that would eventually prove invaluable down the line.

Lansky's formative years were heavily influenced by his relationships with other street children, notably Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, who would later become a close confidant and partner. Bugsy would go on to become a notorious figure in organized crime, known for his charismatic personality, lavish lifestyle, and key role in the development of the Las Vegas Strip.

Their enduring bond, forged in shared ambition and a desire to escape poverty through illicit means, would last decades. Beginning with petty crime, Lansky quickly earned a reputation for his sharp mind, while Siegel was known for his audacity, strength, and bravery. Together, they formed the Bugs and Meyer Mob — a notorious gang that rose to prominence during the Prohibition era.

The onset of Prohibition in 1920 presented a unique opportunity for Lansky and his associates. Recognizing the lucrative opportunities in the illegal alcohol trade, Lansky organized operations that rivaled those of the more established Irish and Italian gangs. His keen understanding of logistics and finance allowed him to build a bootlegging empire, while Siegel's muscle ensured their operations were protected from rivals.

As Prohibition ended in 1933, Lansky smoothly shifted his focus to the gambling industry. His insistence on honest dealings within his gambling operations earned him a rare reputation for integrity in a world rife with deceit​. He successfully launched and oversaw a series of profitable casinos in New York, New Orleans, and Florida — maintaining a strict policy of fairness and employing only trustworthy personnel. This era marked Lansky's evolution from a street-smart gangster to a cunning financial strategist. His knack for laundering money and concealing illegal gains in Swiss bank accounts, facilitated by the 1934 Swiss Banking Act, showcased his innovative thinking and foresight. He even went so far as to acquire his own offshore bank, solidifying his reputation as the "Mob's Accountant."
