BERNIE Madoff, the fraudster\u00a0behind largest Ponzi scheme in history died in prison today, April 14, 2021 at the age of 82.<\/p>\n

How many kids did Bernie Madoff have?<\/h2>\n

Madoff had two kids during his life, both sons, Mark and Andrew Madoff. Both sons were with his wife, Ruth Madoff.<\/p>\n

Ruth and Bernie met in high school, graduating in 1958 and marrying the next year. While Ruth went to Queens College, Bernie attended Hofstra
University.<\/p>\n

While Ruth eventually worked for Bernie's firm, she first worked in the stock market.<\/p>\n

While working for Bernie's firm, Ruth established the Madoff Charitable Foundation.<\/p>\n

Their eldest son, Mark, was born in March of 1964, and their youngest, Andrew, was born in April of 1966.<\/p>\n

Are Bernie Madoff's sons still alive?<\/h2>\n

Since Bernie's arrest and sentencing, both of his sons have passed away.<\/p>\n

Exactly two years after his father's arrest, Mark was found dead by an apparent suicide by hanging in his Manhattan apartment.<\/p>\n

Andrew was diagnosed with cancer in 2003, but the disease went into remission.<\/p>\n

A year after the death of his brother and two years after the sentencing of his father, Andrew's cancer returned in 2011.<\/p>\n

After a three year battle with the return of the cancer, Andrew died in September of 2014 during treatment.<\/p>\n

How did Madoff die?<\/h2>\n
