And how do those at the top buy those mansions and estates. I can’t imagine they’ve got a mortgage nor can I imagine then paying in heaps of cash

Mobs and cartels work differently. Mobs make money at the lower level, and each level above gets a cut. The “employees” are the ones who make the money and pay it up to the bosses, not the other way around. Unless you are a specialist, you are expected to earn money and pay your capo his cut. It’s like a hooker/pimp relationship.
In a cartel it’s different because most of the business is manufacture and/or distribution. The overwhelming majority of cartel members never actually handle any money. In this case legitimate companies with legitimate employees are paid to do work that they don’t do, while they are actually busy making and moving drugs.
