Despite being the third-richest man in the world, Zara's founder, Amancio Ortega, is a man of mystery. 

Ortega's fortune is worth more than $82 billion, according to Retail Week. That's an increase of a whopping $19 billion from 2016, thanks to some smart investments and expensive real estate purchases. 

But despite his enormous net worth, many people have never heard of him.

Ortega is an incredibly private man, is rarely seen in public, and has given just a handful of interviews throughout his incredibly successful career.

That career began when Ortega founded fast-fashion giant Zara with his then-wife Rosalia in 1975. Today, his retail company Inditex SA — which owns Zara, Massimo Dutti, and Pull&Bear — has 7,385 outposts around the world.

While Ortega is immensely private, we do know a fair amount about him. Here's everything you need to know about the richest man in fashion. 

Ashley Lutz and Mallory Schlossberg contributed reporting to an earlier version of this article.

Only two people in the world are richer than Ortega: Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, who recently beat out Gates for the No. 1 spot.

Ortega was born in the town of Busdongo de Arbas, Spain, in March 1936.

To become a master of something, at least in the academic world, you have to earn your master's degree, which usually requires an additional year or two of schooling after acquiring your bachelor's degree.

Few master's degrees come cheaply, as Business Insider previously reported. According to a 2014 study from college planning site EAdvisors, more than half of master's degree holders have student loans averaging $56,661.

But for some high-paying jobs, they are a must.

According to the latest data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, these are the 12 highest-paying jobs that require a master's degree.

Each has a median annual salary of at least $80,000.

Projected job openings(through 2024): 800

You knew it was going to happen sooner or later — an aspect of our everyday habits made into a movie. And Sony was the studio that dove in and did it.

"The Emoji Movie" opens this weekend and critics aren't too happy about it. 

As one put it: "This failed attempt to create a story from a texting trend makes the worst comic book adaptation look like Shakespeare."

The animated movie starring T.J. Miller as Gene the "meh" emoji, who goes on an adventure in a teen's phone, currently has the dreaded 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Here's why the movie is one of the worst-reviewed of the year (which will either make you run as fast as you can from the multiplex, or give you even more motivation to see it):

It's a rip-off of Pixar's "Inside Out."

The movie's premise of a pair of rogue emojis setting out to find meaning and purpose isn't all that original. It has similar beats to the better-executed Pixar movie, "Inside Out," which followed the journey of a girl's emotions.

Or as Variety called it, a "witless 'Inside Out.'"

While on the subject of the movie's deeper meaning, Vulture wrote: "There is a mumbled, shorthand moral about staying true to yourself in all this, but it is drowned out by the wall-to-wall cynicism that is 'The Emoji Movie'’s entire reason for existing in the first place." 

The movie has no shame in also being a Sony commercial.

Licensing is always an issue in movies about technology, and though you'll see familiar things from your own phone in "The Emoji Movie"— like Candy Crush, Spotify, and Facebook — there's also some shameful highlights of Sony products (seriously, who has a Crackle app on their phone?).

"Vertically integrated product placement is to be expected, though the movie’s most egregious plausibility-breaking move is that it takes place on a Sony smartphone; these emojis are halfway between Droid-designed purgatory and their vastly more popular Apple variants," wrote The AV Club. 

Even Patrick Stewart as the poop emoji can't save the movie.

That's right. Sir Patrick Stewart voices the poop emoji. Which seems funny on the surface, but all it did was remind reviewers that the emoji exists, and they made sure to include it in their tweets about how much they hated the movie.

The other known names voicing emojis — T.J. Miller, James Corden, Anna Faris, and Maya Rudolph — also didn't bring much satisfaction.

ScreenCrush wrote: "Miller might be down to get paid globally for the role of Gene, but he doesn’t bring a ton of personality to the role, which is kind of a problem since Gene’s whole character is based on the fact that he’s supposed to have a ton of personality. Corden gives a high-energy performance as Hi-5, but his material is thumbs-down emoji. His main running gag is a brutally literal one; his character keeps puking up a candy corn and eating it over and over."

In the fast-paced, cut-throat chicken industry, it's hard to set yourself apart. 

However, a regional chain from North Carolina isn't content to stay in the South any longer. 

Bojangles', with 728 locations nationwide, is on an expansion spree. But, if the chain wants to catch on outside the Carolinas, it needs to take on international players — like the ubiquitous Church's Chicken, with more than 1,700 locations worldwide. 

In an effort to see if Bojangles' could keep up with the flock, we visited Bojangles' and Church's as part of our whirlwind chicken tour.

The Insider Pick:

• We've tested and researched dozens of cables to find the best ones for your devices, and the j5create USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-A JUCX06 cable is the winner.

The MicroUSB charging port is slowly but surely disappearing from smartphones and tablets, and USB Type-C is taking its place. USB-C ports can now be found on laptops, tablets, smartphones, and even mobile gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch.

Although it's annoying to change out all your charging cables and accessories, the USB-C port and the USB 3.1 standard do have many advantages. For example, USB-C cables are reversible, charge your devices faster, and transfer data more quickly.

However, just like the lightning cables, there are a lot of faulty USB-C cables out there that could fry your device by drawing too much power, so be careful. USB standards can be confusing, and some manufacturers haven't followed them properly. You can read all about the technicalities behind the standards for USB-C 3.1 cables and the various issues that have caused problems in this great piece by Android Authority.

Amazon recently started to crack down on faulty USB-C cables, and Google engineer Benson Leung has been testing USB-C cables to see if they meet the official standards and work as promised. You can follow his exploits on his Google+ page and read all his USB-C cable reviews on his Amazon account page.

Your best bet is to stick with cables from known brand names and the ones on our list. Whether you need a long cable, a short one, a cheap one, one that has USB-C on both ends, or one that has USB-C to USB-A; we've got a cable for you in our buying guide. We've tested many of these cables ourselves, and those we haven't are tried and true by Leung or other reliable reviewers.

Note that some of these cables may not charge devices with QuickCharge technology at full speed

USB-C to USB-C cables vs. USB-C to USB-A cables

You can get most of our recommended cables in two different formats: USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to USB-A . To highlight the difference, we've color-coded the two different types of cables throughout this guide. Here's a breakdown of which cable is which:

• Buy USB-C to USB-C cables if you have two devices with USB-C ports that you need to connect. Example: Connecting a Samsung Galaxy S8 (or another USB-C Android phone) to a 2016 MacBook Pro (or another USB-C laptop).
• Buy USB-C to USB-A cables if you have a USB-C device that you need to connect to an older device with a USB-A port. Example: Connecting a Samsung Galaxy S8 (or other USB-C Android phone) to an older laptop or one that only has USB-A ports.

Updated on 07/28/107 by Malarie Gokey: Added the Anker USB-C to Micro USB Adapter.

Although the j5create USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-A JUCX06 cable is our top pick, for various reasons laid out in the slides below, you should also consider the Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB-C cables and USB-C to USB-A cables, the AmazonBasics USB-C to USB-A and USB-C to USB-C cables, the iOrange-E 10-foot Braided USB-C to USB-A and USB-C to USB-C cables, the Ventev Alloy ChargeSync USB-C to USB-A cable, and the Anker USB-C to Micro USB Adapter.

DON'T MISS: Computers, tablets, and phones are all going to start using the same connector — here's why

The best USB-C cable overall

Why you'll love it: The j5create USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-A JUCX06 cable and j5create USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-C Coaxial JUCX06 cable offer fast charging and syncing.

The whole point of having  USB-C cables is to provide faster charging and data syncing speeds, but many cables don't meet the full standards or specification requirements. The j5create JUCX06 USB-C cables meet those standards and offer the best performance of any USB-C cable, according to The Wirecutter and a volunteer with the Top Contributor Program at Google by the name of Nathan K, who has tested a lot of USB-C cables.

The cable meets USB-IF Power Delivery 2.0 specifications with a power output of 20V (100W) and 5A, so it won't fry your computer or the device you're connecting it to. Better yet, the j5create cable offers the fastest charging and data transfer speeds you can get from a USB-C cable, thanks to its support for USB 3.1 speeds of 10Gbps. 

It also supports USB 2.0 speeds of 480Mbps, if you're connecting to an older USB 2.0 port. The j5create complies with the USB Type-C 1.2 specifications, and it's compatible with older USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices. 

You can also get the j5create JUCX06 cable in two formats: USB-C to USB-C (for when you need to connect two new USB-C devices) or USB-C to USB-A (for when you need to connect a USB-C device to an older USB-A device). 

The cord is 3-feet long, which is pretty decent, and it should be relatively durable. It also comes with a one-year warranty in case something goes wrong.

Pros: Reversible, durable, meets USB-IF Power Delivery 2.0 specifications, supports USB 3.1 speeds of 10Gbps, supports USB 2.0 speeds of 480Mbps, output of 20V (100W) and 5A, it complies with the USB Type-C 1.2 specifications, and it's compatible with older USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices

Cons: Expensive

Buy the j5create USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-C Coaxial JUCX06 cable on Amazon for $24.99

Buy the j5create USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-A JUCX06 cable on Amazon for $19.99

The second best USB-C cable

Why you'll love it: The Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables offer fast transfer speeds, a sturdy design, and a respectable brand name for a great price.

Anker makes excellent charging cables and battery packs for both iPhone and Android devices. Its latest PowerLine USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables are strong performers that you can buy for reasonable prices.

The cable is strengthened with Kevlar and the stress points near the connectors are reinforced for added durability. In testing, Anker bent the PowerLine cables more than 5,000 times to ensure that they last. The company also offers an 18-month warranty and it has a great reputation for following through when users have problems.

Anker's PowerLine USB-C cables come with a Velcro tie to help you wrangle up any extra cord length you don't need. It also makes traveling with your cable easier. You can buy these cables in several different sizes, including 3 feet, 6 feet, and 10 feet.

Most importantly, these cables safely charge and sync phones with USB-C ports at high-speed. Transfer speeds go up to 5Gbps, which is fast enough to transfer an HD movie in less than five seconds. Anker's cables may not offer full QuickCharge speeds for some phones, though.

You can also get each of those cables in one of two formats: USB-C to USB-C (for when you need to connect two new USB-C devices) or USB-C to USB-A (for when you need to connect a USB-C device to an older USB-A device). 

Reviews on Amazon are positive, and Google engineer Benson Leung gives these Anker cables his seal of approval, so you know your devices will be safe with any of these PowerLine USB-C cables.

Pros: Affordable brand-name cables, USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A options, multiple cord lengths, 5Gbps transfer speeds, certified safe for use, and an 18-month warranty

Cons: Won't charge all QuickCharge phones at full speed

Buy the 10-foot Anker PowerLine USB Type-C to USB-A 3.0 Cable on Amazon for $13.99

The best cheap USB-C cable

Why you'll love it: The AmazonBasics USB-C to USB-A and USB-C to USB-C cables are a great bargain with support for fast charging and a one-year warranty.

Amazon undercuts the competition with the high-quality cheap products it sells under the name AmazonBasics. If you just need a basic USB-C cable and you don't want to spend a premium, the AmazonBasics line of USB-C cables is excellent.

Whether you need a 6-inch, 3-foot, 6-foot, or 9-foot cord, Amazon has it. You can also get each of those cables in one of two formats: USB-C to USB-C (for when you need to connect two new USB-C devices) or USB-C to USB-A (for when you need to connect a USB-C device to an older USB-A device). 

Every AmazonBasics USB-C cable offers up to 480Mbps data transfer, power output up to 5V or 3 Amp, and a one-year limited warranty. The cables are also certified by USB-IF as compliant with USB 2.0 standards. 

In other words, these cables won't fry your devices by pumping out too much power, but they also don't meet the USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 standards, so they won't be as speedy as other cables. You may not get the full QuickCharge speeds on your phone, but AmazonBasics' USB-C cables are more than adequate.

Reviews on Amazon are positive, and you generally can't go wrong with AmazonBasics products. These cables also have a one-year warranty in case something goes wrong. If you're not happy with it, Amazon will let you return it up to 30-days after the date of purchase.

Pros: Cheap, meets USB-IF standards, available in various lengths, available as a USB-C to USB-C cable or USB-C to USB-A cable, supports fast charging, one-year warranty

Cons: Only comes in black or white and it's not as durable as others

Buy the 6-inch AmazonBasics Type-C to USB 2.0 Type-C cable on Amazon for $6.49

Buy the 3-foot AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB-C 2.0 Cable on Amazon for $6.99

Taco Bell wants to feed your late-night cravings.

The fast-food chain has teamed up with Lyft to offer a new service that enables passengers to request a stop at a Taco Bell drive-thru with just the push of a button.

The service, which has been coined "Taco Mode," was rolled out Thursday in Orange County, California, and will be available July 27 to 29 and August 3 to 5 during the hours of 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Taco Bell said it plans to roll the service out nationwide in 2018.

As well as enabling passengers to order drive-thru Taco Bell, Taco Mode also includes a custom in-car menu, free Doritos Locos tacos, and a ride in what the company calls a "taco-themed car."

Here's what it's like to ride Lyft in Taco Mode:

The Tesla Model 3 and the Chevy Bolt are both long-range, all-electric cars for the people — each is about $35,000 to $37,000 before tax credits — but they embody very different design philosophies.

The Model 3, which launches Friday, is the handiwork of Tesla's chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen. When it was unveiled in March 2016, it set a slightly new direction for the carmaker. The front fascia, for example, lacked any conventional automotive cues, such as a grille — an unnecessary element, of course, because Teslas don't need to inhale air to burn gasoline.

The Tesla Model S and Model X would adopt this new language. In any case, the Model 3 continued Tesla's tradition of making its cars look sleek, fast, and sexy. The Model 3 might be for the mass market, but it evokes the luxury EVs that Tesla is selling.

The Bolt is something else altogether: an electric car that aims for practicality over sex appeal, while still serving up some tasty performance. (You can read our review here.) Designer Stuart Norris and the South Korea-based studio made sure the Bolt was roomy inside and provided good cargo capacity.

The Bolt looks much more like an everyday five-door hatchback. In this sense, it's a throwback to some earlier ideas about alternative-fuel vehicles. Think of the Toyota Prius when it arrived — nobody would have called it beautiful. Its appearance advertised its virtue.

It's sexy versus sensible, then, when you put the Bolt and the Model 3 side by side. (By the way, we're talking about the preproduction version of the Model 3. The real deal won't enter our field of vision until Friday evening.)

Here's an annotated examination of both vehicles.

This weekend marks the second year of Panorama Festival, New York's newest three-day music festival put together by Goldenvoice, the big name promoters behind Coachella.

The first year of the festival went off with a bang, featuring the reunion of indie rock hall-of-famers LCD Soundsystem — to say nothing of Kendrick Lamar. 

Goldenvoice is doing their best to top that with a lineup that features over 50 musicians, including big names like Frank Ocean, Solange, Tame Impala, Tyler the Creator, Nine Inch Nails, and A Tribe Called Quest. 

As with any festival these days, there are artists from all different genres including indie, rock, pop, R&B, hip-hop, and dance. Sometimes, the choices can be overwhelming.

We decided to help make it a bit easier by curating your days for you.

Check it out below.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Many TV series over the years had episodes too controversial to even air.
• From parts of "Friends" to "Family Guy," these are the episodes that TV watchers never got to see.

Given how wide-ranging political and personal opinions have always been (and will always be), it’s not exactly surprising that many television series over the years have had episodes pulled from the air due to controversial topics. In the last few years alone, reruns of series such as "7th Heaven" and "The Cosby Show" have been briefly taken off air as legal cases regarding their respective stars consumed public attention. However, it’s one thing for a series to be taken out of syndication years later when a scandal surfaces; it’s another matter entirely when episodes are pulled out of rotation occasionally even before they air.

This drastic measure is often taken in response to either network executives vetoing story ideas, or complaints issued by social groups. Further, no kind of series appears to be immune from this act: in the last thirty years, it has happened to half hour sitcoms, hour long dramas, and animated series aimed at children.

While the list of episodes that have been banned for one reason or another is ever-growing, the following list of 15 TV episodes that never aired due to controversy represent some of the most shocking of the bunch, including some ideas that make you wonder how they ever even left the drawing board.

15. Seinfeld: George starts a discussion on race

Although "Seinfeld‘s" status as a “show about nothing” is disputed, there’s no denying that the iconic 1989-1998 sitcom tackled almost every subject it could over the course of its nine season run. One particular issue it never addressed, however, was race. This wasn’t for lack of trying, however. According to the 2013 book "Seinfeld Reference" by Dennis Bjorklund, an episode was pitched in which resident slacker George Costanza attempted to start a conversation about race.

Unfortunately, his attempt at a conversation starter consisted of commenting on the fact that he had never seen a black man order a salad before. Given how racist this comment is, and given "Seinfeld‘s" entirely white cast, NBC rejected the episode premise entirely. Although the series would cover divisive topics in its time, such as contraception and abortion, this wasn’t a gamble the network was willing to take. Given some of the cast’s later public statements regarding race, perhaps that was for the best.

14. Sesame Street: "Snuffy's parents get a divorce"

"Sesame Street" has covered a lot of tough topics over the course of its nearly fifty years, including the death of beloved regular fixture Mr. Hooper in 1983 and the introduction of an HIV-positive puppet on the South African edition of the series. In 1992, the series decided to try and address the topic of divorce in a way that would be gentle enough for children to understand, particularly since divorce rates were increasing. The episode even made it all the way through the writing and production stages.

However, once the episode was shown to test group audiences of children, it became immediately apparent that children weren’t ready for this episode. The test group children were left generally distressed and confused. Many of them didn’t understand that Snuffy’s father would be part of his life after this. Some even feared that parents arguing would ensure a divorce was near. Although this 1992 episode was ultimately left unaired, a digital short explaining divorcewas released twenty years later in 2012.

13. The Ren & Stimpy Show: "Man's Best Friend"

"The Ren & Stimpy Show" frequently made a name for itself due to its use of cruder humor than had been found in many Nickelodeon animated series in the 1990s. A majority of the jokes contained references to bodily fluids, and Ren often launched into violent rages. However, one episode in particular was deemed too over the top with its use of violence by Nickelodeon, the 1992 episode “Man’s Best Friend.”

In this episode, Ren and Stimpy are taken into a new home by recurring character George Liquor, who proceeds to attempt to abuse both Ren and Stimpy into the shape they need to be in to be considered a champion show dog and cat. Ren, having already possessed a short temper before this, quickly reaches his breaking point and uses an oar to beat his new owner within an inch of his life. It’s safe to say that Nickelodeon didn’t find this content acceptable for the younger-skewing audience of its cartoons, and therefore, the episode was quickly banned from air.

Why wait for Amazon's smart voice assistant Alexa to take over the world when you can just get straight to the point.

You can now pre-order a smart speaker that's built in the shape of the head of the human killing robots from "The Terminator" series. The polished alloy gadget is a dead-ringer for the ones that tormented Sarah Connor, only it's voiced and powered by Alexa, not Arnold Schwarzenegger or — worse yet — Skynet. 

Cyberdyne, err, AC Worldwide, an England-based audio products startup, on Friday launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for its new smart speaker. Check it out:

The Terminator T-800 smart speaker is modeled after the T-800 robots from "The Terminator" films. That's the robot Schwarzenegger depicted.

Each of the T-800 speaker's eyes is illuminated with a red light to replicate the T-800 robot's menacing gaze. The gadget's left eye also contains a high-definition camera.

Yes, with your funding, you can give Alexa — via the T-800 speaker — the gift of sight, which should accelerate its efforts to kill off the human race.  

The T-800 will even come with motion sensing so it can keep an eye out for intruders ... or study your behavior before it strikes.

You can apply a filter to shots taken with the speaker's camera to replicate the T-800's head-up display.

With the launch of the Model 3, Tesla is on the precipice of a move from ambitious niche upstart to a mass market carmaker.

Over the past decade, Tesla has become a global leader in electric vehicles. At the same time, its Model S sedan and Model X SUV have become the performance benchmarks for competitors looking to enter their respective segments.

Both cars are made at its factory in Fremont, California. As you might expect from an Elon Musk-run company, Tesla's factory is one of the most advanced automotive production facility in the world. It's equipped with more than a hundred robots.

Ahead of the launch of its Model X SUV in late 2015, Tesla gave Business Insider a peek inside its modern factory. 

With the new mass production Model 3 now in the fold, the Tesla is reportedly making modifications to the facility to accommodate the vehicle. However, production of the Model S and X remain as is.

With the unveiling of the production Model 3 just around the corner, here's a look inside the Tesla Factory:

SEE ALSO: The all-new Rolls-Royce Phantom is a modern private jet for the road

The Tesla Factory is situated on 370 acres of land in Fremont, California.

The Tesla Factory spent the first 20 years of its life as a General Motors assembly plant until it was shut down in 1982. In 1984, the plant reopened as NUMMI or New United Motor Manufacturing Inc.

NUMMI was a joint venture between GM And Toyota that assembled vehicles for both automakers. It also allowed GM to study Toyota's legendary "lean manufacturing" methods.

An emoji is worth a thousand words — at least, in "The Emoji Movie" it is. 

The new animated film released on Friday — with already terrible critical reviews — features Gene (T.J. Miller), a "meh" emoji who goes on an adventure in a teen's phone.

BookArc

I've used the BookArc with my MacBook Pro for over a year, and it's still the best stand I've found. 

I prefer my home computer setup to be organized, which can be difficult since I use an external display and several accessories. But the BookArc keeps my MacBook Pro vertical and sturdy while staying compact, which is more than I can say for the previous options I tried.

Twelve South BookArc, $49.99, available at Amazon

ParcSlope

If you prefer a stand that lets you use your Mac's built-in display in addition to an external one, you should check out the ParcSlope.

The stand keeps your MacBook propped up at an angle, making it easy and more ergonomic to type. You can also use the ParcSlope to hold an iPad Pro if you like to annotate or edit photos.

MagicBridge

Another organizational accessory, the MagicBridge is a shell that connects a Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad together. 

In some ways this lets you mimic the keyboard and trackpad setup you'd have on an Apple laptop with your iMac, which might appeal to people who have recently switched from one to the other.

Russia has greater economic disparity than any other major global power. In 2016, Credit Suisse's Global Wealth Report found that the wealthiest 10% of people in Russia controlled 89% of the country's wealth. 

This discrepancy is what photographer Lilia Li-Mi-Yan set out to explore in her series "Masters and Servants," an intimate view of Russia's elite photographed within their homes, alongside their hired help.

"For those who can afford it, it's a common situation to hire a helper," Li-Mi-Yan told Business Insider. She said she was interested in exploring those people's stories and their relationships.

Li-Mi-Yan photographed this series in Moscow.

According to Li-Mi-Yan, finding the employers to photograph wasn't difficult. "These were mostly people that I was acquainted with," she said. "Most of them agreed to take part in my project with enthusiasm."

Before each shoot, Li-Mi-Yan would meet with the subjects to discuss and explain the project.

US-backed forces in Syria announced Thursday that they have captured nearly half of ISIS' de facto capital of Raqqa, Associated Press reported. 

The Syrian Democratic Forces — largely made up of Kurdish, Sunni and Christian fighters — began their assault on Raqqa on June 6, and have since taken about 45% of the city, according to Army Col. Ryan Dillon, a spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve.

Still, US-backed forces have faced “stiff, sporadic resistance” resistance from ISIS militants, Dillon said. 

Here's what the fighting on the ground looks like.

The SDF began its assault on Raqqa early last month and have made steady progress since.

They shot dozens of mortars at ISIS militants on Thursday as they continue to make gains in the city. Coalition fighters have attacked ISIS from the east and west, and are about 800 meters away from linking up, according to AP.

But SDF progress has been slowed by enemy snipers, as well as ISIS' continued reliance on suicide attacks and even using civilians as human shields. A Kurdish fighter is seen here firing at ISIS militants as he runs across a street.

J.K. Rowling is one of the most successful authors in the history of the world. She's lived a fascinating life, going from struggling single mother to multi-millionaire philanthropist at the head of an entertainment empire.

She and "Harry Potter" will always be inexorably linked. She even gave him her birthday: July 31. But beyond her wizarding universe, Rowling is a woman with a unique taste in books and a difficult past.

Here are 19 things you didn't know about her.

Her parents never graduated from college.

While Rowling received her degree in classics and French from the University of Exeter, her parents never completed college degrees. Her father worked as an aircraft engineer at Rolls Royce, and her mother was a high school science technician.

Her mother died when Rowling was 25.

Rowling's mother, Anne Rowling, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when her daughter was a teenager. She died from complications related to the disease before "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was ever published.

"I came from a difficult family. My mother was very ill, and it wasn’t the easiest,"she told the New Yorker.

Later in life, Rowling gave $16 million to found the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic at the University of Edinburgh, which studies the disease.

She named her daughter after one of her favorite authors.

Jessica Rowling is named after Jessica Mitford, a British writer and activist. J.K. Rowling is a major champion of the writer, who died in 1996. She wrote a review of her collected letters for The Telegraph in 2006. And her journalistic memoir, "Hons and Rebels," was given to her by her aunt when she was 14 and became one of her favorite books.

"I love the way she never outgrew some of her adolescent traits, remaining true to her politics — she was a self-taught socialist — throughout her life," Rowling told The Scotsman. "I think I've read everything she wrote."

The INSIDER Summary:

• INSIDER rounded up 24 of the most popular, highly rated, and unique fast-food chains around the world.
• Mr. Lee is a popular comfort food spot for beef noodles in China.
• Telepizza is basically Spain's version of Pizza Hut, but with some unique menu options (like nacho pizza!).

Americans may be the original arbiters of fast food, but that doesn't mean we're the only ones who know how to produce craveable pizza and burgers in mass quantities.

INSIDER rounded up some of the most delicious, enviable, and unique (to American palates, anyway) fast food chains around the world that we wish would come to the United States.

From the ever-popular Nandos peri-peri chicken in the UK, to the Netherland's FEBO fast food machine, we'd love to see the following 24 spots stateside. 

Nandos: South Africa and the UK

Nandos originated in 1987 in South Africa, but has quickly become one of the most popular fast-food chains in the UK. Famous for its chicken peri-peri, chicken marinated in a sauce made from crushed chillies, the large casual restaurant chain has even become a British meme ("let's go get a cheeky Nandos with the lads"). Of course, most Americans have no idea what they're missing out on.  

Toast Box: Singapore

Can you imagine an entire fast-food chain dedicated to toast? Toast Box is one of the most popular Singaporean food chains and serves unique toasty creations alongside artisan coffee, also known as "kaya toast and kopi" (jam with toast and coffee). Singaporean toast is as thick as Texas toast, with toppings like coconut jam, peanut butter, and even corned beef. 

Spudulike: Scotland

Baked potatoes may be seen as a boring side dish, but at Spudulike, they're the main attraction. Their baked potatoes are stuffed with all manner of fillings like the above egg, chorizo, and spinach-stuffed potato. There's even a chicken Tikka Masala potato. 

Reince Priebus, President Donald Trump's first White House chief of staff, resigned on Friday after little more than six months on the job.

Trump's administration as a whole has been rocked by a series of high-profile exits since he took office in January.

Here are the top-level people who've either been fired or resigned from the Trump administration.

Reince Priebus

Reince Priebus, the former White House chief-of-staff, was resigned just six months into his tenure after a public feud with Anthony Scaramucci, the White House communications director.

Trump announced that General John F. Kelly, the former Homeland Security secretary, would take over for Priebus in a tweet on June 28. Priebus resigned less than a week after former press secretary Sean Spicer, who was considered a Priebus ally in the White House. 

Sean Spicer

Sean Spicer, the embattled White House press secretary, resigned on Friday after telling Trump he vehemently disagreed with the selection of Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director.

Spicer's tenure as press secretary was marred by controversy and a sometimes-awkward relationship with the president. Spicer will stay in his role until August.

Michael Dubke

Michael Dubke, the former White House communications director, resigned in May. Dubke was replaced by Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of a hedge fund and a top Trump donor.

Into every vacation a little rain must fall, but what the heck are you going to do when you’d rather be out surfing, tubing, or terrorizing people with water balloons?

For family vacations

Bad weather on a trip with kids is a dual-pronged problem. Not only do you have to deal with children bouncing off the walls while they’re stuck indoors, you also need to find something suitable for all ages. Your best bet is a marathon of Adventure Time (Hulu). The animated Technicolor fantasy is silly enough that even the littlest kids will be engaged, but the mythology of the postapocalyptic Land of Ooo is engaging for grown-ups who don’t mind a fart joke or two. For those with older kids, try The Legend of Korra (Amazon), a surprisingly astute and political story about a superpowered girl trying to navigate a steampunk world and the raging hormones of adolescence.

Adventure Time is available on Hulu.
The Legend of Korra is available on Amazon.

For party houses

The keg is tapped, the rosé is flowing, but you can’t lie by the pool during a thunderstorm. Since you can’t have a rager, you might as well watch some on TV and play along. Superbad (Netflix) is not only hilarious, it will take you back to those heady days before you could legally buy booze, where mistakes have little consequence and Emma Stone didn’t quite yet have an Oscar. For something a bit more serious, Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some!! (Amazon) follows a college baseball team as they drink, dance, and disco their way through a lazy ’80s summer. This movie is especially great for those who enjoy something retro with their rowdiness, or those who (ahem) appreciate the beauty of young men who like to remove their shirts.

Superbad is available on Netflix.
Everybody Wants Some!! is available on Amazon.

For lake houses

There is nothing like the scenic beauty of a New England lake, surrounded by trees and family members to bring out your deeper emotions. The 1981 drama On Golden Pond (Netflix) won three Oscars for its depiction of an elderly couple, played by Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn, who babysit their daughter’s new stepson. It’s sweet, picturesque, and more than a little bit sad. For something to lighten the mood, What About Bob? (Hulu) is one of Bill Murray’s funniest roles ever, in which he travels up to New Hampshire to terrorize his therapist during a family vacation.

On Golden Pond is available on Netflix.
What About Bob? is available on Hulu.
