The estranged wife of Bernie Madoff is living high on the hog and looking for love in one of the wealthiest towns in America, an exclusive National ENQUIRER investigation reveals.
Nearly six years after the moneyman’s Ponzi scheme stiffed 13,500 victims out of a staggering $65 billion, Ruth Alpern Madoff has settled into a $1.5 million mansion in tony Old Greenwich, Conn.
And while the feds seized most of the family’s $80 million in assets, she’s been spotted buying armloads of designer duds, cases of fine wine and pricey cosmetics.
“Instead of living modestly and paying some sort of restitution, Ruth doesn’t seem to be feeling any financial pain whatsoever!” grumped one outraged local socialite. “It’s an absolute disgrace that she’s still living the good life.”
