Abraham built a media and political empire with SlimFast ties
Abraham recruited celebrity promoters including Dodgers manager Tom Lasorda who touted Slim-Fast in 1989 ads. He sold the brand to Unilever for 2.3 billion in 2000, later facing GLP-1 drug competition and shifting to politics. He funded Middle East peace efforts, sat for a 2006 book foreword, and endured a long estate dispute and a 2023 sexual harassment allegation.
