Spoils of Madoff's lavish life on the auction block

NEW YORK - Jailed financier Bernard Madoff led a lavish lifestyle until his downfall. The disgraced financier left homes filled with luxury goods - and everyday items like underwear, slippers and T-shirts, all monogrammed to fit his ego.

Thousands of belongings from the New York City penthouse Madoff shared with his wife are headed for auction at a Manhattan hotel this Saturday.

Federal marshals staged a preview on Wednesday of items seized from the apartment and the Madoffs' Long Island beachhouse - from bed linens, clothing, cookware and luggage to intimate items like used socks, cuticle scissors and even bottles of shampoo. There also were artworks, more than a dozen luxury watches and antique furniture.
