    Description:

    Symax is the family office for Sydell Miller, a retail pioneer and beauty industry executive. In the 1960s, she opened and ran a clothing boutique in Cleveland, Ohio, called, Tops & Bottoms. The store was right above her husband's (Arnold Miller who is now deceased) beauty salon. Together they founded the haircare/ beauty brand, Matrix. In August of 1994, Sydell agreed to sell Matrix to Bristol-Myers, with a price of 7.4 million shares of stock--worth about $400 million. Sydell just sold La Reverie, a French-style mega-mansion, for $105M. She completed the home nearly 20 years ago at 1415 S. Ocean Blvd. on 'Billionaires Row' in Palm Beach.
