Ruth Madoff (née Alpern; born May 18, 1941) is the wife of Bernie Madoff, the convicted American financial fraudster. She was director of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities.

Early life

Madoff was born in Queens, New York, and raised in Laurelton, Queens, to a practicing Jewish family. She has one sister, Joan Roman. A graduate of Far Rockaway High School and a 1961 graduate of Queens College,[1][2], she graduated from New York University with a Master of Science degree in nutrition in 2011.[3][3][4]

Personal life

On November 28, 1959, at age 18, she married Bernard "Bernie" Madoff,[5] whom she had met while attending Far Rockaway High School.{{Why|date=January 2019}} She worked for some time as her husband's bookkeeper.[7]

They had two sons, Mark (March 11, 1964 – December 11, 2010),[6] a 1986 graduate of the University of Michigan; and Andrew (April 8, 1966 – September 3, 2014),[7] a 1988 graduate of University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.[8][9] Both of her sons predeceased her: Mark, by suicide, in 2010, and Andrew, from lymphoma, in 2014.

According to a March 13, 2009, filing by Madoff, he and his wife were worth up to $138 million, plus an estimated $700 million for the value of his business interest in Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC.[13]

Other major assets included securities ($45 million); cash ($17 million); half-interest in BLM Air Charter ($12 million); a 2006 Leopard yacht ($7 million); jewelry ($2.6 million); a Manhattan apartment[14] ($7 million); a Montauk home ($3 million); a Palm Beach home ($11 million); a Cap d'Antibes, France, property ($1 million); furniture, household goods and art ($9.9 million), and a restored 1969 Rybovich sportfishing yacht ($800 thousand). [15]

A Vanity Fair article in 2009 stated that, during the time when she was a bookkeeper, Ruth made an undisclosed $2.5 million deal and that employees in the London office stated "Ruthie runs all the books".[16] During a 2011 interview on CBS, Ruth stated that she and her husband had attempted suicide after his fraud was exposed, both taking "a bunch of pills" in a suicide pact on Christmas Eve 2008.[17]

Since her husband’s incarceration, most of the Madoff family assets have been seized by the government, including the couple's Upper East Side penthouse in New York. In 2012, she moved to one of her son Andrew's houses in Old Greenwich, Connecticut, after spending two years living in Boca Raton, Florida, with her sister. Following Andrew's death, Ruth moved to a condo-complex in Old Greenwich.[18]
