A New York native, he parlayed a loan from his in-laws into a homebuilding empire. He and Donald Bruce Kaufman founded KB (Kaufman &amp; Broad) Homes in Detroit in 1956 when Broad was barely 20 years old. The firm went on to become the largest independent builder of single-family homes in the United States. It built more than 600,000 homes in the postwar boom, many of them in Southern California. He later bought Sun Life Insurance, morphing it into annuities giant SunAmerica. He sold it for $18 billion in stock in 1998. He was the first person to develop two Fortune 500 companies in different industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2021\/04\/eli-broad-dies-businessman-philanthropist-87-1234748053\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at DEADLINE<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from DEADLINE Eli Broad Dies: Billionaire Businessman, Philanthropist, Founder of L.A.\u2019s Broad Museum Was 87 By\u00a0Tom Tapp Businessman, philanthropist and art collector\u00a0Eli Broad, who left an indelible imprint on Los Angeles\u2019 cultural scene, died today at age 87.
