“In my eyes, it symbolizes continual improvement and continual advancement,”

Mente is the creative force behind the online clothing sales engines FRWD and Revolve, which went public in 2019 and is now worth more than $1 billion. Two years later, the 45-year-old purchased the former Hilliard Bruce estate, home to a modernist winery and 21 acres of pinot noir and chardonnay vines.
