Biography
Goldman was born in 1955[2] to a Jewish family, the daughter of Lillian (née Schuman) and Sol Goldman.[3][4] She has three siblings: Allan H. Goldman, Diane Goldman Kemper, and Amy Goldman Fowler.[5] Her father was the largest non-institutional real estate investor in New York City in the 1980s, owning a portfolio of nearly 1,900 commercial and residential properties.[5] She attended the Masters School, the American School in Switzerland, and graduated from Manhattanville College.[6]
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.[7] She and her brother, Allan Goldman, manage the remaining real estate assets via the firm Solil Management.[8] Her cousin, Lloyd Goldman, is also a notable real-estate investor in New York City.[9]
In 1979, she married Dr. Benjamin H. Lewis in a Jewish ceremony at the family home in New York City.[6]
