Raised in an Orthodox Jewish home in Long Beach, New York, S. Daniel Abraham bought a small drug company after serving in World War II and built it into Thompson Medical — whose Slim-Fast shakes became America's diet of choice. He sold to Unilever in 2000 for $2.3 billion and devoted the fortune to peace: his Center for Middle East Peace has spent decades shuttling between Israeli and Arab leaders in pursuit of a settlement.
