Automakers are lining up to invest in hydrogen-powered vehicles, even though the big bucks are still being spent on battery-powered cars.

From an infrastructure standpoint, purely electric vehicles make more sense. There are 15,959 electric charging stations in the United States, but only 35 hydrogen stations in the entire US, according to the US Department of Energy. Of those 35 hydrogen stations, only 3 can be found outside of California.

But car makers still see potential in hydrogen technology. Batteries are expensive, take a long time to charge, and have limitations when it comes to driving range. Hydrogen-powered vehicles, on the other hand, have longer ranges and offer short re-fill times.

Scroll down for a look at all the hydrogen-powered vehicles in the works:

1. We would be remiss to not start with the Honda Clarity, which Honda began leasing in California at the end of 2016.

The EPA recently gave the car an estimated range of 366 miles — the longest range of any zero-emissions vehicle. Honda says the Clarity has a refuel time of just three to five minutes.

Honda and General Motors have invested $85 million to mass produce hydrogen fuel cells for vehicles beginning in 2020. Honda is currently working with Northeast regulators to introduce the car in states like New York and Connecticut.

Dealing with money can be stressful. In fact, the level of stress surrounding finances can be so debilitating for almost one in four Americans that they suffer from symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder, according to a study by financial wellness company Payoff.

Being stressed about your finances certainly won't help improve your financial situation.

"People under stress perform differently than when they're not under stress and make all kinds of bad decisions," said Dominique Henderson, a certified financial planner and founder of DJH Capital Management in Cedar Hill, Texas. As a result, their finances can seriously suffer.

Certainly some financial decisions are more nerve-racking than others. Here are some of the most stressful money situations Americans face— and what to do about them.

Dealing with a financial emergency

Not having enough money to fund an emergency is one of the the biggest sources of financial stress for many Americans, a GOBankingRates survey found. So when a financial emergency such as a job loss or major medical expense strikes, many people struggle to figure out to handle it.

"People often feel their whole world has been turned upside down," said Neal Frankle, a certified financial planner and founder of the Wealth Pilgrim financial planning blog. "And since their financial situation changes for the worse so quickly, it can actually be a traumatic shock and cause them to freeze up."

If you don't put cash in an emergency fund, you could be forced to decide whether to ask friends and family for help. Or, you might have to tap your retirement account or rack up debt to cover your costs.

"While there is no way to absolutely shield yourself from these types of upsets, the best solution here is to be proactive," Frankle said. "Besides building up your emergency fund, make sure you have proper property, auto, health, life, disability and liability coverage."

You might need to take other steps to cover your risks. "This might involve dialing down your current lifestyle now for a limited time in order to be better prepared for potential financial speed bumps and land mines that may lay ahead," Frankle said. "This proactive approach can help you deal with the unexpected in a more manageable way."

Buying a home

Buying a home can be exciting but incredibly stressful. Online real estate brokerage Owners.com found that 72 percent of potential homebuyers said they expect stress in the homebuying process. Many of the respondents cited the financial aspects of buying a home as their primary worry.

"As one of the largest financial transactions in a person's life, it can be extremely challenging to remove your emotions and approach it with a methodical and rational mind," said Steve Udelson, president of real estate brokerage Owners.com. "This reality is exacerbated even more by the current real estate market, where home prices and interest rates are on the rise, and inventory continues to be low."

Making sure you don't rush is the key to avoiding headaches during the homebuying process. Start by figuring out how much home you can afford based on the amount you have saved for a down payment, and the monthly mortgage amount you can afford to pay without stretching your budget too thin.

Once you've calculated this figure, commit to not exceeding it. Owners.com found that more than half of potential homebuyers were willing to go over their budget by $37,809 on average.

To ensure you don't exceed your budget, Udelson recommends researching the real estate market in your area to understand if the price you're paying for a home is in line with its value. Cut transaction fees with a low-cost brokerage such as Owners.com.

Think critically about how long you will be in the home to determine which mortgage option is best for you. "Thoroughly inspect the home to assess any additional fees before inking the deal," Udelson said.

Figuring out how much to save for retirement

Figuring out how much to save for retirement can be stressful for many people. "They know they need to save, but don't know how much," Henderson said.

In fact, a study by Merrill Lynch and Age Wave found that 81 percent of Americans said they don't know how much money they'll need in retirement. It's likely because they haven't tried to figure out how much they need, Henderson said. They put it off because they don't want to see how far behind they are on savings.

As stress-inducing as it might be to calculate how much you need to save for retirement, it's a good place to start. "There are so many retirement assessments and calculators out there," Henderson said. "That's an easy Google search."

Figure out how much money you need for retirement. Then, take steps to boost your savings. And don't beat yourself up if you're behind. After all, you're not alone. More than half of Americans have less than $10,000 saved for retirement.

To have enough for a comfortable retirement, you should save at least 15 percent of your income annually, Henderson said. If you can't save that much, contribute enough to your workplace retirement to get the full matching contribution from your employer, if it offers a match. That's free money that can help you reach your retirement savings goal faster.

The Insider Pick:

• Back in 2003 when the first GPS running watch entered the market, it was a novelty. Now, there are an overwhelming number of watches to choose from. While each one has its benefits, the TomTom Spark 3 is the best overall with its optical heart rate monitor, built-in music storage, and long-lasting battery.

If you’re a runner, you know that outside of what you’re wearing on your feet, one of the most important necessities you use can be found around your wrist. Running is a sport that constantly has you competing against yourself, whether it’s increasing your weekly mileage or running a faster race. A good running watch makes it possible to record all that data and helps you become a better runner.

While a basic watch can track your time, a good GPS running watch allows you to track your distance, pace, and even your heart rate. With running, as with so many sports, success lies in the details. Having the extra capabilities that come with a GPS watch can take your training to the next level and help you reach your running goals.

The challenge? There are so many different brands and models of GPS watches to choose from, ranging from those with the most basic features to ones that can pair with your smartphone to track every aspect of your run. Looking at all the choices and comparing the specs can be mind-boggling, to say the least, which is where we come in. Below you’ll find our top five picks. We’ve done the research and combed the reviews while keeping budget, features, and style in mind.

Although the TomTom Spark 3 is our top pick, but for various reasons laid out in the slides below, you should also consider the Garmin Forerunner 15, the Polar M600 Sports Smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 2, and the Garmin Forerunner 630 based on your running needs.

The best GPS running watch overall

Why you'll love it: The TomTom Spark 3 packs in the most features for the price, coming in at less than $130. 

While Garmin and Polar are usually top contenders when it comes to GPS watches, TomTom proved that it shouldn’t be overlooked with the Spark 3. It packs in a lot of features, bridging the gap between the high-end GPS watch and the everyday fitness tracker. 

As far as style goes, the Spark 3 is most definitely a sport watch first, and its angular design doesn’t shy away from that. However, the watch module is removable so you can switch out straps — a nice feature if you’re putting in a lot of long sweaty runs. The strap itself features a soft, textured underside that helps wick away sweat and minimizes the strap imprint bulkier GPS watches can leave behind. The added comfort is also a plus if you plan to wear this watch for general activity and sleep tracking.

By far the biggest draws for this GPS watch are its long-lasting battery, and the built in features like the heart rate monitor, music storage, and route mapping which are mentioned often in the user reviews on Amazon. A run is far more enjoyable when you don’t have to worry about your watch dying halfway through a run and you’re not dragging along a bunch of extra gadgets.

Since it has an optical heart rate monitor, you don't need to wear a separate chest strap to track your heart rate. Wareable put the Spark 3’s built-in monitor through the paces, testing it against a Polar H7 chest strap. Minus a few outages, it held up well against the chest monitor. As one Amazon reviewer stated, it’s not 100 percent perfect, but it gets the job done while allowing you to ditch the extra bulk. 

If you run with music, that usually means your phone comes along for the ride. This isn’t the case with Spark 3, which is Bluetooth compatible and can store up to 3GB of music, allowing you to leave your phone at home. With good music in the background you may find yourself running farther than planned. 

The built-in compass and route mapping will allow you to go on a longer run while helping you navigate your way home. You can also add running routes beforehand if you want to change up your usual run. 

Both Wareable and Running Shoes Guru have declared it a top pick, and Runner’s World praises its long-running battery and easy menu navigation.

As with most technology there’s always room for improvement, but the high-end running features coupled with the low price tag make this our top pick for an ideal all-around running watch.

Pros: Long-lasting battery, easy menu navigation, phone-free music, built-in heart rate monitor, route mapping

Cons: Bulky design, music support needs improvement (using third-party wireless headphones can be challenging), and limited app capabilities (using a third-party app with this is more favorable)

The best basic GPS watch for less than $100

Why you'll love it: The Garmin Forerunner 15 is a no-frills running watch, but it offers a solid set of features and accurate data tracking for less than $100. 

If you're just beginning your running journey and looking for a reliable GPS watch, or if you're looking for a basic watch that can track your activity between runs, then the Forerunner 15 may be the one for you.

The watch marks your running distance, pace, and time. You can also get it with an optional heart rate monitor. Outside of the basic features expected in a GPS watch, the Forerunner 15 also tracks activity between workouts by counting the steps you’ve taken, giving you reminders to move and counting the calories you’ve burned throughout the day as well as during your runs.

One of the top reviews on Amazon states that this is a perfect watch for a beginner runner. If you are a new runner, the run/walk feature is especially useful because it allows you to set timed intervals alerting you when to walk and when to run. The run/walk method of training is a great way to prevent injury by stopping you from doing too much too soon.

If you’re a more advanced runner trying to improve your race pace, the virtual pacer is another great feature. It allows you to program a specific pace, and the watch will alert you if you’re going faster or slower than your goal.

You won’t find more advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity here, but if you’re looking for basic training aids, then this watch is a reliable choice. This is by no means a smartwatch, but you can connect your watch to a computer and upload your workouts via Garmin Express. This program syncs your data to the Garmin Connect website and mobile app, which is available on both iOS and Android.

What the Foreunner 15 lacks in connectivity, it makes up for in reliability. The battery lasts 8 hours in GPS mode and up to 5 weeks in watch/activity tracker mode. Garmin is known for being relatively quick at picking up a satellite signal, so you can get on your way as soon as possible, and this model is no exception. Its distance tracking is also fairly accurate, according to a CNET review, which compared distance results to those on the website MapMyRun.

If you opt for the heart rate monitor, it comes separately but is both easy to use and provides accurate results. The same CNET reviewer who compared distance results to MapMyRun finds it reliable enough to use for testing the accuracy of other heart rate monitors. The terms accurate and straightforward sum up this running watch. This Amazon reviewer states that it, “does what it is supposed to do very well.”

For under $100, we think the Garmin Forerunner 15 provides runners with the basic features they need for a great price.

Pros: Long battery life, accurate GPS tracker, heart rate monitor compatibility, useful training aids, and can track activity outside of runs

Cons: Doesn’t support wireless syncing (no Bluetooth connectivity), lacks more advanced features found on high-end GPS running watches

The Best GPS Running Watch for Seamless Android Integration

Why you'll love it: The Polar M600 is an Android Wear smartwatch made for runners that has yet to find a true rival on the market.

The Polar M600 isn’t just a sports watch — It’s also a very capable smartwatch powered by Google’s Android Wear. If you use an Android phone and you want comprehensive fitness tracking as well as the ability to download native apps and play music, the Polar M600 is the one for you.

With the recent release of Android Wear 2.0, you can now install and enjoy these apps while away from your smartphone, allowing you to leave your phone at home. The Google Assistant is now built-in, ready to help you via voice commands, and the battery life has been improved significantly. You can also download your favorite apps and get notifications on the go.

Polar is a well-known name in the running watch business. It was the first company to offer wireless heart rate monitoring in 1977, and has continued to make a name for itself in the running world. The M600 comes with a wrist-based heart rate monitor, so you can go without the traditional chest strap monitor.

It has an integrated GPS to track a wide variety of activities including running. This is a smartwatch and is paired with your phone, so you will need to recharge it more often than a traditional sports watch, but it still provides up to 8 hours of training with the GPS and wrist-based heart rate monitor running.

In terms of design, this is a sports watch first and a smartwatch second. It would blush with embarrassment if held up next to the classic Huawei Watch or the sleek Tag Heuer Connected. It’s also prone to attracting dust. If functionality is your main concern, though, it will pass the test. It’s both comfortable and sturdy, with a silicon strap that is ideal for long runs.

At 13mm thick, it’s a bit bulky, but not as thick as many comparable GPS watches. According to Wareable, at 63 grams it’s a full 16 grams lighter than the Polar V800, which is known as the company’s flagship multi-sport GPS watch.

One of the most notable things about the Polar M600 is it has yet to find a true competitor in the form of another Android Wear sports smartwatch. The New Balance RunIQ was released in February 2017 as a possible contender. However, the reviews show that while the outlook seemed positive on paper, when put to the test the heart rate monitor was less than accurate, it’s battery didn’t last as long, and the software lagged behind when compared to the Polar M600.

It should also be noted that while Android Wear claims to be cross-platform, able to work with both Android and iOS devices, this watch still performs the best with an Android phone.

Reviewers on Amazon are pleased with its long battery life, accurate GPS tracking, and the ability to leave their phone at home but still listen to music and receive notifications while out running. Even the most critical reviewer admits that the GPS and onboard music make it a “good stand-alone running watch.”

Pros: Accurate GPS tracking, reliable heart rate monitor, connectivity to apps, music and notifications without a smartphone

Cons: Less than stellar performance when paired with an iOS device, not the best-looking in terms of smartwatch design

Tesla has made a name for itself as an electric carmaker that doesn't compromise on speed.

In February, the Model S with the 100 kWh battery reached 60 mph in just under 2.3 seconds (2.275507139 seconds, to be exact) while operating in Ludicrous mode. It was enough to beat a Porsche 911 Turbo S.

But Tesla isn't the only one trying to push speed boundaries with its electric vehicles. Several startups are also looking to put their names on the map by building absurdly fast supercars. And it's not just startups — even big names like Mercedes-Benz are showing off electric cars built for speed.

We're talking crazy-quick, 0-60 mph times here and top speeds — the dynamic duo by which all high-performance cars are judged.

Scroll down for the 5 quickest ones we could find:

1. Chinese startup Nio's electric supercar, the Nio EP9, is capable of reaching a top speed of 194 mph and can accelerate to 100 kilometers-per-hour (62 mph) in just 2.7 seconds

The Nio EP9 has broken two separate speed records. Earlier this month, it set a lap record of 6 minutes and 45.9 seconds on the 13-mile Nordschleife circuit at the Nürburgring in Germany.

That time beat Nio's previous electric car lap record on the course of 7 minutes and 5.12 seconds.

The car also holds the EV record at Circuit Paul Ricard in France, at 1 minute and 52.78 seconds.

The startup claims the Nio EP9 has an impressive range of 265 miles. The startup is doing a limited production run of its crazy-fast electric car priced at $1.48 million.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Spring means allergy season and there is nothing worse than sniffling all day.
• Sometimes your doctor can prescribe you something but there are some things you can do to help too.
• Try using cold presses to avoid red puffiness and washing your dog to get all the pollen out of their fur.

Spring has many virtues: warm weather, gorgeous blooms for floral DIYs, cute shift dresses for Easter Sunday. But there’s one springtime visitor we can do without: the seasonal allergies brought on by all the pollen, dust, and mold. “The long winter and all the rain have made pollen counts particularly high this year,” Pennsylvania-based allergist Dr. Sandra Gawchik explains. The tiny pollen specks that help guarantee us a green, blossom-filled summer also cause some of our bodies to go into fight mode, triggering sneezy, wheezy symptoms. Depending on how bad things get, your doctor can recommend the best course of treatment, but there are things anyone can do to help your situation on the front end. We tapped experts to dish on solid habits and hacks to curb and calm the seasonal woes that plague nearly 50 million Americans.

1. Clean, clean, clean.

Hit your carpets, curtains, behind the bed, under couches, inside your car — everywhere you typically skip and where allergen-filled dust accumulates, waiting to wreak havoc. Laura Martinez, director at Agua Spa in Miami’s Delano Hotel, tells us that cleaning is the best thing you can do to control and prevent allergy attacks. You can’t live in a bubble (though some days it may be tempting), but you can do your part to limit exposure. “You have to set yourself up for success and protect your spaces before things get worse,” Martinez maintains. Spend a day getting everything tidy and clean, and then set up a simple weekly cleaning routine to keep allergens at bay.

2. Make a tonic.

Whip up an isotonic saline nasal rinse to clear out any pollen hanging around your nasal cavity. Allergist Dr. Linda Ford suggests mixing 1/2 teaspoon of non-iodized salt with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in 1 cup of distilled water. Use a neti pot or spray bottle to rinse away culprits.

3. Get some vitamin C

Dr. Jesse Sandhu, Medical Director at IV vitamin treatment center VitaSquad, explains that the body releases histamines to “fight off” allergens, which is what causes sneezing, watery eyes, and all the other annoying (and sometimes debilitating) symptoms. “Most people don’t know vitamin C is a natural antihistamine,” he observes. “I recommend taking it in high doses.” You can take the vitamin as a dietary supplement or through an IV, which is said to be more potent. “Vitamin C is a safe, water-soluble vitamin, so you cannot overdose,” Dr. Sandhu reassures us.

James Dyson failed 5,126 times before he found a version of his Dual Cyclone vacuum cleaner that worked. To many, this would make him a loser, yet today he is worth $4.2 billion.

After interviewing 200-plus people, I’ve realized the most successful individuals I know were, at some stage along their journey, a big loser. They failed. They made giant mistakes. They lost a lot of money, and watched as their business went under. Yet, they managed to overcome such adversity and build success on the back of these business-threatening mistakes.

Which begs the question, how do they do it?

Mistakes happen; this you cannot avoid. The journey you’re on isn’t a simple one, and at some point you may hit rock bottom. This is okay, as you can rise from the ashes like these seven losers did.

Founder of Infinitus, Leadcraft and Bots for Business

In 2013, Oldford racked up $726,000 in debt. At the ripe age of 22, he faced a bleak future. It’s a mountain of debt many people wouldn’t escape from.

Yet, in less than three years, Oldford not only recovered, but built a multi-million-dollar company by overcoming his own toxic ego, and replacing it with a deep focus on relationships, mentorship and personal growth.

From big loser to bigger success, Oldford today demonstrates a zest for life that has led to successful launches, new ventures and an ever-growing level of authority.

2. Caprice Bourret

Founder of By Caprice

With millions of dollars of product en route, Caprice Bourret celebrated her new partnership with a South African department store. With By Caprice Lingerie still in its infancy, this was a big deal with even bigger potential.

Then the phone rang, leaving Bourret’s world turned upside-down, as she learned the buyer only wanted half of what she had sent -- and because the stock was in South African sizes, she couldn’t sell it elsewhere.

A successful and celebrated supermodel, but a now failed entrepreneur with a business on the brink. Yet, Bourret not only bounced back from the setbacks, but redefined her business model by leveraging her strengths (a strong personal brand) to license her name to foreign parties. Not only did this lower costs, but created an abundance of opportunities that redefined her business.

3. Jayson Gaignard

Founder of Mastermind Talks

Despite building a multi-million-dollar business, Jayson Gaignard found himself in over $250,000 of debt. Gaignard suddenly had the bank threaten to take his house, car and possessions. He had failed. He had let his family down. He had no Plan B.

Yet, he held firm to his belief that relationships are everything, and so he continued to splash out on unique dinners for high-worth individuals, plunging further into debt, but strengthening his connections as he did. Before long, these dinners transformed into one of the planet’s most sought-after conferences, featuring the likes of Tim Ferriss, Ryan Holiday and AJ Jacobs. 

With "Alien: Covenant" arriving in theaters Friday, director Ridley Scott is continuing the story of space's most horrific species that he started 38 years ago with his sci-fi classic.

Since then, we've been entertained and more than a little scared following the battles franchise hero Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) has had with all sorts of aliens — from the chest-burster in "Alien" to the menaces in "Aliens." Meanwhile, we held back laughter while watching the awful spin-off "Alien vs. Predator" franchise. 

Here we look back on all the movies to rank the best "Alien" movie:

8. "Alien vs. Predator: Requiem" (2007)

Made smack-dab in the dark days of the "Alien" franchise when Ridley Scott was too busy making movies with Russell Crowe to worry about what was happening to his creation, "Requiem" was apparently able to get off the ground solely on the basis of having the alien fight the Predator again.

It's a terrible sequel, featuring low-grade special effects and zero stars. We all have to thank Sir Ridley for deciding to make "Alien" prequels, or who knows which other characters from the 20th Century Fox library the alien would have fought next.

7. "Alien: Resurrection" (1997)

The last movie starring Sigourney Weaver is a disappointing attempt to expand the franchise. You can't ignore the star's apparent lack of interest in returning to play the character or Winona Ryder looking so out of place. But it does have some great character actors sprinkled throughout.

6. "AVP: Alien vs. Predator" (2004)

Director Paul W. S. Anderson (the "Resident Evil" movies) pits two iconic sci-fi characters against each other. I could give you a little sense of the plot, but, honestly, aren't you just watching to see the alien and Predator fight?

From when to say "please" and "thank you" to how to drive a car, we learn a lot from our parents. 

Oftentimes, that includes picking up on their money habits as well. 

And while some of that financial wisdom consists of worthwhile advice that we'll turn around and pass along to our own kids, other habits are better off forgotten. 

Business Insider asked parents with children of all ages to weigh in on the financial side of having kids, and several respondents shared the habits and beliefs they learned from their own parents that they don't plan to pass down.

The Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off its 2017 run on Wednesday, is an exclusive, invitation-only film festival that started in 1946.

The Cannes festival, which takes place every year on the French Riviera, has changed a lot over the years. It’s primarily about the films, but over the past few decades, it’s evolved into one of the biggest occasions for fashion, and celebrities have walked its red carpet in some iconic looks. But it wasn’t always so fashion-focused.

Business Insider talked to Getty Images' Director of Digital Archives Bob Ahern about the progression of Cannes from film festival to one of the glamorous, star-filled occasion of the entire year, and Getty provided some images from the fest's history.

Getty Images photographers have been covering Cannes for over 20 years. Getty also has one of the world’s largest collections of archival Cannes imagery, which dates back to the very first festival in 1946. Throughout this year's Cannes Film Festival, Getty will have a team of 80 people, which includes photographers and videographers, social-media experts, picture editors, assignment editors, and technicians. 

Here are stunning photos of stars from the Cannes Film Festival over the years and how it's evolved:

“Cannes is a challenge — it’s changed so much over the years.”

“You used to really see Cannes — the beach, the trees. There’s less of that today,” Ahern said. Nowadays, there’s more focus on the red carpet.

Ahern pointed out that this scandalous image of Simone Silver was a good example of stars becoming more candid in front of the public eye. 

In Cannes' early days, photographers had easier access to celebrities, which allowed these intimate moments to be captured by photographers.

How do you found one of the largest and most iconic sports companies in the world, becoming a billionaire along the way?

Phil Knight recently unveiled the answer in his best-selling book “Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike.” Here are some of the most important tips to succeed he shares in his book.

SEE ALSO: The CEO of a company with 40,000 employees shares his top 4 leadership lessons

1. Use your 20s to learn and explore

After graduating from college and grad school, and spending a year in the Navy, 24-year old Phil Knight decided he wanted to make a trip around the world. He asked his parents for money — it was the early ‘60s, and travel was still exotic and expensive — and boarded a plane to Hawaii.

In the months that followed, Knight continued his world travel and visited Japan, Hong Kong, Viet Nam, the Philippines, India, Kenya, Egypt, Turkey, Germany, France, England, and a handful of others countries. Many of the historical, cultural, and economic lessons he learned on his travels, he would remember and apply for life.

2. Believe in what you do

Knight’s first job (in Hawaii) was to sell encyclopedias. His second one was to sell securities. He was terrible at that first job, and mediocre at his second. It occurred to him that as an introvert, perhaps he was just not cut out to be a salesman. But when he went on to sell shoes, much to his own surprise he turned out to be a master salesman almost from day one.

Why? Because this time he believed in what he did. When Knight was in college at the University of Oregon, he had been a track athlete in the college team. He ran because he was good at it, he liked it, and he wanted to win. It made him a credible shoe salesman down the road. This was a product he believed in, and it was a sport he believed in.

3. Just do it

When traveling around the world, Knight had a “crazy idea” of setting up American distribution for a Japanese apparel company. In his mid-20s, with no cash, no company, and no successes as a salesman, Knight nevertheless boarded a train from Tokyo to Kobe, and arranged a meeting with executives from Onitsuka, the Japanese company known for its Tiger shoes.

When he was asked whether he represented a company, he said yes (even though he in fact didn’t have company). A few years later, he again made his partner believe he had an East coast office, when in fact he did not, and he also pledged to buy a number of shoes he could not afford to pre-finance.

In each of the cases, though, he did follow through on his words: He set up a company (Blue Ribbon, later rebranded Nike), he set up an East Coast office (In Wellesley, Massachusetts), and he did find financing for his order. He just did it.

No college degree can guarantee you wealth, but a handful of schools have a proven track record of minting rich people, from billionaire founders and CEOs to investors to politicians.

Wealth-X, a firm that does research and valuations on ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals, has revealed where the world's wealthiest people — those with assets exceeding $30 million — went to college.

In its tally, Wealth-X counted alumni with both undergraduate and graduate degrees, counting alumni of multiple institutions more than once, but left out those with diplomas, certificates, honorary degrees, and drop outs. Considering some of the world's richest self-made billionaires dropped out of Harvard, Stanford, University of Chicago, and other schools on this list, the numbers of UHNW alumni could be even higher had they graduated.

Of the top 20 colleges in the world that produce the wealthiest people, five are public universities, six are Ivy League, and only one is located outside of the US. By and large, Harvard University mints the highest number of millionaires and billionaires, which together command a net worth of $811 billion, more than twice that of the No. 2 school, University of Pennsylvania.

Below, check out the top 20 colleges in the world that have produced the most rich people, along with the total known number of UHNW individuals with degrees from the institutions, and their combined wealth.

You're hardly the only person who's ever Google-stalked a crush or scoured a future employer's Facebook page. In fact, there's a really good chance that the person or the company has done exactly the same reconnaissance on you.

What they find can have a profound impact on your relationship (or potential relationship) with them. Which is to say: The "real you," or your personal brand, now encompasses your behavior in face-to-face interactions and your behavior online.

Below, Business Insider has rounded up five examples of times when you might be judged —fairly or unfairly — based on your online presence.

60% of employers use social media to screen job candidates

That's according to a 2016 CareerBuilder survey of 2,186 hiring managers and human resource professionals. It's a meaningful increase from the previous year, when the survey found that 52% of employers reported using social media to screen candidates.

Meanwhile, 59% of employers said they use search engines to research candidates.

Interestingly, just 21% of employers surveyed said they're looking for reasons to disqualify the candidates, such as information about those candidates drinking or using drugs. Most employers — 60% — are looking for something that supports their qualifications, such as a professional portfolio.

Remember, too: You're hardly out of the woods once you get hired somewhere. As many as 41% of employers in the CareerBuilder survey said they use social media to research current employees — and 26% have found something that's caused them to reprimand or dismiss an employee.

Nearly half of single women research someone on Facebook before a first date

And 38% of men say they do the same, according to a 2013 survey by online dating site Match.

If something unsavory does come up, 49% of women and 27% of men say it would motivate them to the cancel the date.

Some people seem to have caught on — just over a quarter of single men and women say they have cleaned up or would clean up their Facebook profile before accepting a friend request from someone they were interested in.

About half of married Brits have secretly checked their partner's Facebook account

A 2015 survey organized by law firm Slater and Gordon found that one in five of the Facebook snoopers ended up fighting about what they found — and one in seven have considered divorce because of it.

Distressing findings, according to the survey, included contact with an ex-partner, secret correspondence, and inappropriate photos.

As Andrea Newbury, head of family law at Slater and Gordon, said in a release:

“Five years ago Facebook was rarely mentioned in the context of a marriage ending, but now it has become common place for clients to cite social media use, or something they discovered on social media, as a reason for divorce."

Ellen Hoffman, commerce editor: Noisli

It may sound hyperbolic to say this white noise app has changed my life, but it has. I've been using Noisli every night for two years now, and I wouldn't go anywhere without it. 

Right before I'm ready to go to bed, I pair Noisli via Bluetooth to my sound bar when I'm at home, or my portable Anker speaker when I'm away.

I primarily use it to help me get a better night's sleep, but you can also use it to help you to focus while working or relax while reading. It proved particularly helpful during the London leg of my last trip to the UK; my first-floor Airbnb was located on a busy street and Noisli helped drown out the traffic outside.

Noisli, $1.99

Brandt Ranj, associate commerce editor: Dark Sky

Dark Sky has to be my pick, because without it, I would never leave my house. If you haven’t heard of it, Dark Sky is a weather app that uses highly-localized data to produce an extremely accurate forecast.

It’ll tell you what the weather is like in your part of town, rather than relying on more general satellite information. The best example of this is the app’s to-the-minute precipitation report; not only will you know how long the current rainstorm will last, you can see if there’s a dip in its intensity to make a well-timed escape.

Dark Sky, $3.99 

Tyler Lauletta, commerce reporter: Headspace

In a chaotic world where I'm constantly connected to the internet, taking 10 minutes to decompress is one of my few self-care habits. You might think meditation is something you can do all on your own, but I was never able to stay committed to it until I invested in Headspace.

Through guided meditations, Headspace takes you through the basics of meditation and teaches you how to find a little clarity, regardless of your surroundings. The app offers 10 guided meditations for free, with the option to subscribe on a monthly or annual basis.

Headspace, from $12.99 for a subscription

Even straight out of school, earning an MBA means a healthy salary bump for graduates, especially in lucrative industries like consulting.

And with increasing demand for management consultants, elite firms are doling out hefty compensation packages to stay competitive and attract top talent. In fact, at many places, the base pay for MBAs starts at $140,000 — more than $60,000 higher than the starting salaries that many candidates earn right out of college. On top of that, salaries for these positions are on the rise, up as much as 5% in the past year. 

Management Consulted, a company that helps candidates land consulting jobs, compiled the top salaries earned by graduates in their first year out of business school at 18 leading consulting firms. To determine these figures, it culled through data from clients, spoke with industry insiders, and pored over real offer letters from readers.

It's important to note that these represent maximum salary packages, not average compensation. Typically, only the top employees receive the full amount, with most employees earning significantly less.

Read on to see the consulting firms in which MBAs are raking in the big bucks, ranked by total compensation:

With an estimated net worth of over $16 billion, Red Bull cofounder and CEO Dietrich Mateschitz is the wealthiest person in Austria.

After essentially creating the market for energy drinks with the invention of Red Bull in 1987, Mateschitz and cofounder Thai businessman Chaleo Yoovidhya came up with unique ways to promote the brand, like buying a Formula One racing team and partnering with Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner to do a 120,000-foot jump in 2012. According to Forbes, more than six billion cans of Red Bull were sold in 2016. 

The reclusive 72-year-old is rarely seen in the spotlight, but in a candid interview with Austrian paper "Kleine Zeitung" last month, Mateschitz shared his opinion of President Trump and criticized the Austrian government for allowing an influx of refugees into the country. He defended the American president, saying, "I don't think he's as much of an idiot as he's portrayed to be."

Mateschitz also revealed his plan to launch a German-language news site called "Nä her an die Wahrheit," which translates to "Closer to the Truth."An article in the German newspaper Handelsblatt compared the venture to Breitbart.

Below, take a look at how Mateschitz has grown Red Bull into a leading international brand that stretches across platforms.

Mateschitz studied marketing at the University of Commerce in Vienna. He was in school for 10 years and graduated at 28. After school, Mateschitz served as the international marketing director for Blendax, where he worked on promoting toiletry products.

It was while he was traveling in Thailand for his job at Blendax that Mateschitz was introduced to a syrupy tonic drink that, according to Forbes, helped cure his jet lag.

Mateschitz met Chaleo Yoovidhya, a Thai man who owned his own tonic drink company. He convinced Yoovidhya to bring the drink to Europe, and Mateschitz quit his job. Each of the men invested $500,000 in the venture.

But that doesn't mean they're the best places to start a career.

According to personal-finance site WalletHub, recent grads should consider a few other spots before they decide where to move after college.

WalletHub recently analyzed and ranked the 150 most populous US cities based on professional opportunities and quality of life to determine the best places to start a career.

Metrics included the number of entry-level jobs per 100,000 residents, housing affordability, annual job-growth rate, projected population growth, unemployment rate, and percentage of the population with similar education level and age.

With months of good weather ahead, it's an excellent time to set out on an adventure. But if you run into trouble, you'll want to make sure you know what to do.

There's something about the idea of being able to survive in the wilderness that's thrilling. We glorify it with TV shows like "Survivor" and "Man vs. Wild." 

But survival in the harsh conditions of nature is no simple affair, and most lessons can't be learned from television. In fact, some of the "survival advice" that we've picked up over the years is totally wrong, often dangerously so.

Here are some myths you don't want to rely on if a short jaunt outdoors turns disastrous.

SEE ALSO: These are the worst stings in the world, according to a guy who's experienced them all

Myth: You can suck the venom out of a snakebite.

Fact: If a bite delivers venom, it’ll immediately enter the bloodstream. Putting your mouth on the bite will deliver extra bacteria to the wound and may simply get venom into your mouth and esophagus. If someone gets bitten, try to keep their heart rate low and hold the affected limb below heart level while getting to a hospital.

Myth: Always play dead when you are attacked by a bear.

Fact: If you are out in the woods and you see a bear, the general advice is to quietly back away. If it's in your yard or around your campsite, make yourself large and loud, which should hopefully scare it off.

But in the case of an actual attack, your reaction strategy should depend on the bear and on the type of attack. Never play dead if a black bear attacks — always fight back. 

In most cases, a brown or grizzly bear attacks to defend itself or its cubs. At these times it will warn you off by making noise and pretending to charge. Back away from a defensive attack slowly. If the bear makes contact, play dead lying on your stomach with your hands over your neck. But in the rare case of a predatory attack, which comes with no warning (or if the bear seems to be stalking you), fight for your life.

Myth: You need to find a food supply immediately if you are lost in the wilderness.

Fact: Not even close. You can survive up to six weeks without food. The exact amount of time might vary, depending on starting point and other health issues, but water and shelter from the elements are far more important.

Avocados are a hot commodity these days, and seem to have become staples on practically every restaurant menu.

In fact, there's even an entire restaurant in Brooklyn dedicated to the fruit (yup, it's not a vegetable).

But there are so many things about the ubiquitous ingredient you may not have known — like how to cut it properly (crosswise instead of lengthwise), and that you should wash it before eating.

So for all the avocado lovers out there, here are 14 amazing recipes, tips, and tricks that will take your avo dishes to the next level.

Use bananas or apples along with a paper bag to ripen avocados faster

Have an unripe avocado (don't we all)? Put it in a paper bag with a banana or an apple. The gases the fruit produce will help soften and ripen your avocado. Science!

Or, ripen an avocado faster by wrapping it in foil and baking it in the oven for a few minutes

The foil trick is one of the greatest hacks there is. All you need to do is wrap your unripe avocado in foil, put it in the oven, and bake it at 200 degrees for around 10 minutes.

Remove the stem to see if it's ripe

There's nothing worse than cutting into an avocado only to realize that it's not ripe enough for eating, or that it's gone bad.

If you're unsure about the ripeness of your avocado, pull the stem out of the avocado and test the color. If it's green or yellow, it's ripe. If it's brown, it has gone bad. 

Celebrities can be weird. They sometimes spend money on insane things, mislead people about their public image, and may even be immortal.

In their weirdness, they sometimes give their children odd names, like Moxie Crimefighter and Bronx Mowgli. But their resistance to normality can also produce creative, delightful baby names that stand out and offer their kids a sense of independence.

Here are 20 examples of great baby names celebrities gave their children.

Kelly Clarkson named her daughter "River Rose."

Clarkson joked that the name wasn't very creative — she and her husband live near a river — but the name works nicely.

"We were outside on our balcony, and we both looked at each other and were like, 'What about River? That's kind of cool,'"she told People.

"Rose" is Clarkson's mother's maiden name. Put together, River Rose is an alliterative name that's easy to remember, unique, and evokes nature. Clarkson even wrote a book inspired by her daughter, "River Rose and the Magical Lullaby."

Kate Winslet named one of her sons "Bear Blaze."

Winslet has personal reasons for the name choice. She picked"Bear" because it was the nickname of a childhood friend, and "Blaze" because she and her husband escaped from a fire the weekend they met. So while the name itself is awesome, the story behind it is sweet.

David and Victoria Beckham named their daughter "Harper" after the author of "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Victoria's favorite book is "To Kill a Mockingbird," so the couple named their fourth child and only daughter after Harper Lee, apparently a common inspiration for celebrity baby names.

Harper Seven Beckham's middle name, though, was chosen because it's a lucky number.
