Madoff's Many Victims

Nobel Peace prizewinner Elie Wiesel's foundation was wiped out. Screenwriter Eric Roth learned he took a serious haircut the same day he was nominated for a Golden Globe award. And real estate and publishing magnate Mort Zuckerman said his charity lost $30 million, or 10% of its assets—without his even knowing the trust had investments managed by Bernard Madoff.

The losses from the alleged $50 billion alleged Ponzi scheme that federal prosecutors say Madoff perpetrated have touched bold-faced names in the worlds of business, philanthropy, and entertainment—along with many smaller investors and institutions that had some portion of their assets in Madoff's hands. Here's a look at some high-profile victims exposed to Madoff's alleged fraud.
