Biography
Kemper was born in 1946[4] to a Jewish family, the daughter of Lillian (née Schuman) and Sol Goldman.[5][6] She has three siblings: Allan H. Goldman, Jane Goldman, and Amy Goldman Fowler.[7] Her father was the largest non-institutional real estate investor in New York City in the 1980s, owning a portfolio of nearly 1900 commercial and residential properties.[7] After her father's death, she and her two sisters engaged in litigation with their mother over his assets; their mother subsequently received 1/3rd of their father's estate.[8] Her siblings, Allan Goldman and Jane Goldman, manage the remaining real estate assets via the firm Solil Management.[9] Her cousin, Lloyd Goldman, is also a notable real-estate investor in New York City.[10]
In 1971, she married attorney Kenneth D. Kemper in a Jewish ceremony in Manhattan.[11]
