Daniel Lubetzky

Daniel Lubetzky (born 1968) is a Lithuanian-Mexican-American billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist, best known for founding the snack food company Kind LLC in 2004. Before Kind, he created PeaceWorks in 1994 to foster joint ventures between Arabs and Israelis, and he later launched Kind Snacks in 2003 to combat unhealthy snacking in America. In 2015, President Barack Obama named him a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship, and in November 2020, Mars acquired Kind North America for $5 billion, though he sold his remaining stake in 2025. He is also a familiar face on the reality show Shark Tank, where he has made investments through his family office Equilibra (now Camino Partners) in companies like Ellenos, Yellow Leaf Hammocks, and Quevos. Born in Mexico City to a Holocaust-surviving father, he holds degrees from Trinity University and Stanford Law School, and his net worth reached $2.2 billion in 2021.
