Former Queens drug kingpin Thomas "Tony Montana" Mickens made millions off of cocaine during the '80s. He had an underground empire, complete with luxury vehicles, a yacht, an $800,000 mansion, and more. You may recognize him from the second verse of 50 Cent's song "Ghetto Qu'ran." Now, years and years later, Mickens is helping senior citizens work out. "Montana" teaches aerobics classes for about $40-$150 per class.
"People who used to work for me look at what I'm doing now and say, 'What are you doing?'" said Mickens in a recent interview. "I left the past in the past and was able to walk away."
Despite all the riches, Mickens regrets the days he spent as a drug dealer.
"I'm not proud of what I did to my neighborhoods. I'm not proud of the pain I put my mother through," he explained. "Each session is like me giving back to my mother."
