Rick J. Caruso

Rick Caruso interests me less as a billionaire and more as a city-shaper. Building open-air retail destinations is really an argument about how people should gather, and I find that urban philosophy genuinely compelling whether or not you like the politics that came with his later public life. A USC man who founded his own firm and chaired his alma mater's board, then earned the Order of St. Gregory the Great in 2017, he clearly blends commerce with civic ambition. I respect operators who treat the street itself as a product to be designed with care.
