Police have issued an update in the search for Stewart Butterfield's teenage daughter after they were reported missing earlier this week.
Butterfield, the co-founder of communication platform Slack, has a net worth of around $1.6 billion, according to Forbes.
16-year-old Mint Butterfield is his only child, who he shares with his former partner, Flickr founder Caterina Fake.

Mint was last seen on Sunday (April 21) at her mother's home in Bolinas, California.
The worried mom reported Mint missing on Monday (April 22) amid fears the 16-year-old is in the notorious Tenderloin area of San Francisco - around 30 miles away from her mother's home.
Marin County Sheriff's Office has since released a statement to the public for their help in locating Mint.

Another statement released on Thursday (25 April) added further context to the situation.
The release said: "The Sheriff's Office is considering Mint a voluntary-missing juvenile, who is 'At- Risk' due to a reported previous threat of suicide.
"Mint was reported missing by their mother, Caterina Fake. Fake had last seen her daughter at approximately 2200 hours on April 21st inside their home.
"The following morning, Fake realized that Mint was not at home, and discovered a note, indicating that Mint had left the residence, with a suitcase at an unknown time during the night or early morning."

The statement continued: "It is unclear how Mint left the area, as they did not have access to a vehicle, or phone.
"Fake and Mint also share a home in San Francisco, and it is believed, based on statements from Fake, that Mint may have left for the Tenderloin District."
Marin County Sheriff's Office has since told People that authorities are 'investigating leads and working with the juveniles mother to try and acquire digital devices'.

Furthermore, investigators 'do not have any reason to believe there is foul play or anything criminal' to Mint's disappearance.
