In addition to being a billionaire businessman, S. Daniel Abraham is also active in engaging into several philanthropic activities. He is known to offer generous offerings to Jewish causes and to campaign for several democratic candidates including Barack Obama's presidential campaign. In fact, he is dedicated to various social causes which include encouraging peace in the Middle East, increasing educational opportunities as well as to improve overall nutrition and healthcare.

It was in 1977 when Abraham founded Slim Fast only after several failed attempts of introducing products like weight loss gum and itch cream into the market. In 1979, the company went public and by 1987, Slim Fast became a private company, again. In 2000, he sold the company to Unilever for only $2.3 billion.
