About
Dalia Milchan, née Hirsch through marriage, is the younger sister of Israeli-American billionaire Arnon Milchan. Born in Rehovot, Mandatory Palestine (now Israel), to parents Dov Milchan, who managed the family chemical and fertilizer business, and Shoshana Milchan (née Gavrieli), part of a long-established Jewish family in the region. A prominent figure in 1960s Israeli gossip columns, particularly in HaOlam HaZeh magazine, where she was celebrated as a stunning beauty. Married Sammi Hirsch, Tel Aviv's most sought-after playboy and twin brother of Mani Hirsch, in the 1960s. The couple relocated to New York shortly after the wedding; Hirsch studied business administration while Milchan worked at an art gallery. Despite financial security from family wealth, she reportedly grew bored, leading to divorce after several years (around 1975). Resided in New York, with a reported address at 100 Jane St Apt 7R, New York, NY 10014. Exchanged affectionate letters with Sara and Benjamin Netanyahu, presented as evidence of family closeness in legal proceedings. Listed as alive in family obituaries as recently as 2024.
