Biography
Born in 1946 to Jewish parents Lillian (née Schuman) and Sol Goldman, Diane comes from a family deeply rooted in New York real estate. Her father was recognized as the largest non-institutional property owner in New York City during the 1980s, with a portfolio nearing 1,900 residential and commercial buildings. Diane has three siblings: Allan H. Goldman, Jane Goldman, and Amy Goldman Fowler. Following their father's passing, Diane and her sisters engaged in legal disputes with their mother over the estate; ultimately, their mother was awarded one-third of the inheritance. The remaining real estate holdings continue to be managed by her sister Jane through Solil Management. Their cousin, Lloyd Goldman, is also a well-known figure in New York City's real estate sector.
In 1971, Diane married Kenneth D. Kemper, an attorney, in Manhattan.
Her philanthropic efforts primarily support initiatives in education and healthcare.
