Reportedly, Ruth Madoff is the wife of the Ponzi fraudster Bernie Madoff. She married Bernie when she was just 18 years of age. Together, they had two sons named Mark Maddoff and Andrew Madoff.

Ruth Madoff is currently 80. Reportedly, she did not have any knowledge of her husband's Ponzi Scheme for decades. Thus, she was never charged in association with Bernie Madoff's notoriously infamous scheme.

Although she maintained her distance from Bernie, she never divorced him. After Bernie received his sentence, she surrendered approximately $70 million to the authorities in remaining assets. In 2017, she reportedly started residing in Old Greenwich in a one-bedroom condo. She keeps away from the spotlight and no recent news of her health or life is available.

Mark Madoff ended his own life by committing suicide in his $6 million house on Mercer Street in SoHo in 2010, two years after his father's arrest.

Andrew Madoff was the youngest son of Bernie Madoff and he also used to work at the trading desk of Bernie's firm, along with his older brother Mark. Andrew was also the chairperson of the Lymphoma Research Foundation's board before Bernie Madoff's Ponzi Scheme was revealed. He had two children with two different women.

Reportedly, in 2014, 48-year old Andrew passed away at a New York City hospital due to cancer.
