Ruth Madoff Does Charity Work

Well this doesn’t sound so bad: The wife of jailed Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff’s been spending her South Florida exile between the $4.5 million Palm Beach mansion owned by her brother-in-law, Peter Madoff, and her sister’s condo in a comparatively modest gated community, the New York Post reports. Her remaning $2.5 million fortune allows her to live a work-free, snowbird lifestyle, an acquaintance tells the Post, and she fills her time driving around a 1996 Infiniti to deliver meals to the homebound. She also frequently makes the trip from Florida to Manhattan, stopping on the way to visit her husband in his prison at Butner, North Carolina.
