How Do You Become A Made Man in The Mafia?

Becoming a Made Man in the mafia is the ultimate sign of loyalty, trust, and power.

It means you're officially part of the crime family — protected, respected, and expected to kill if ordered.

But not just anyone can get “made.” You typically need:

Italian heritage (on your father's side)

Years of earning money and proving loyalty

A sponsor (usually your Capo)

To pass a blood oath initiation ritual

Once you’re made, you’re untouchable — unless you break the code.
