Victoria Gotti (born November 27, 1962, in Brooklyn, New York) is a writer, reality television participant and daughter of the late Gambino crime family Mafia boss, John Gotti (a.k.a. "The Dapper Don" or "The Teflon Don")

Victoria was born in Brooklyn, New York to convicted mob-boss, John Gotti, and his wife, Victoria DiGiorgio. Victoria was raised in Howard Beach, New York with her siblings, (Angel Gotti, John A. Gotti, Peter Gotti and Frank Gotti [deceased]). Victoria was so quiet as a child, her parents thought she was autistic.

Victoria was an eager reader and a straight-A student. She skipped two grades in high school, entering St. Johns University in 1977, at the age of 15.[1] While she was still attending St. Johns, Victoria was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse, a condition that makes the heart race, causing dizziness and palpitations. Her condition meant that Gotti needed to watch her health carefully, take regular medication, and occasionally wear a heart monitor.[2]

In 1984, shortly after leaving school, she married her high school sweetheart and scrap-metal dealer, Carmine Agnello. Together, the couple had three sons, Carmine, Frank and John, as well as a daughter, Justine, who was stillborn.

As of May, 2009, she was facing foreclosure on the mansion she was awarded as part of her divorce from Agnello.
