Bernard Madoff's victims will get a little something back when the federal government sells his Montauk beachhouse.

Pamela Liebman, president and chief executive of The Corcoran Group, says that the real estate firm, and the listing agents marketing the $8.75 million property, will donate their commission from the sale of the property to a fund for the financier felon's victims.

'We're just happy to be able to help," Liebman says. "We don't want to make money for this."

Real estate sources say the commission on such a property -- a 3,000-square-foot shingled home on the ocean -- would be anywhere from 2.5- to 6 percent.
