Madoff's net worth is $823 million
Bernard Madoff and his wife’s net worth is between $823 million and $826 million according to a court filing.
The newly disclosed information was released a day after Madoff, 70, pleaded guilty to the largest known financial services fraud, admitting to 11 counts.
He is estimated to have defrauded investors in his securities firm of more than $64 billion, according to prosecutors.
The documents state that the majority of his fortune was in his ownership interest in his investment business, worth $700 million.
He held $45 million in securities.
Real estate holdings were the next largest holding totaling $22 million for homes in France, Manhattan, Montauk, and Palm Beach.
Cash holdings were $17 million while a 50 percent interest in a charter jet was $12 million.
Madoff is sent to be sentenced in June and could face up to 150 years in prison. He has appealed to have his bail reinstated after being sent off to jail immediately after his guilty plea.
