The Merage brothers ended up selling Chef America to Nestlé in 2002 for $2.6 billion, and both went off to pursue other things. According to Parsa Community Foundation, Paul founded the Merage Foundations, is a Trustee of the University of California, Irvine, and donated $30 million to the School of Business at the University of California, Irvine. He also serves as Chairman of Falcon Investment Management, a private investment management firm; Stoneridge Capital Partners, and Silverpoint Investments.

Meanwhile, David is currently running Consolidated Investment Group in Colorado, and also co-founded the David and Laura Merage Foundation, which is a Colorado-based non-profit that focuses on community development and early childhood education. Even with the amounts Paul and David have both donated to the greater good, the Merage family has still managed to place as the 139th wealthiest family in America.
