NEW YORK — Bernard and Ruth Madoff’s belongings fetched several times their estimated values at auction Saturday for a total of about $1 million, twice as much as the auctioneers had hoped for.
The fallen financier’s blue satin New York Mets baseball jacket with his surname stitched on the back, valued at up to $720, sold for $14,500. The jacket carries its own special meaning: Team owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz were among the victims of Madoff’s fraud. Madoff’s Hofstra College ring, estimated at $360, went for $6,000.
