When two celebrities hit the red carpet wearing the same outfit, it doesn't have to automatically become a game of "who wore it better." More often than not, both people simply look amazing.

From royals like Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton to Victoria's Secret models like Taylor Hill and Georgia Fowler, keep scrolling to see the different ways celebrities have styled 19 identical outfits.

Christina Aguilera and Meghan Markle wore the same wrapped coat days apart.

Aguilera wore the Stella McCartney coat — from the designer's fall 2018 collection launch in Los Angeles, California — on January 16. She paired the coat with shiny boots, Kanye West-approved miniature sunglasses, and a throwback hat.

Later that week, Markle went for a more understated look when she wore the coat with a casual bun and mismatched earrings on a royal trip to Cardiff, Wales, on January 18.

Both Kathryn Newton and Jada Pinkett Smith wore this high-low plaid gown.

Newton emphasized the punk vibe of this dress with lots of eyeliner and a thick choker necklace for a Golden Globe Awards after-party in Beverly Hills, California, in January 2017.

Nearly a year later, in December 2017, Smith attended the Jingle Ball in Inglewood, California, and glammed up the dress with big curls and bright pink lipstick.

Kate Bosworth and Anna Kendrick donned the same backless dress 11 years apart.

Bosworth first wore the dress with a pair of pumps to the London, UK, premiere of "Superman Returns" in July 2006.

Over a decade later, in December 2017, Kendrick paired the dress with thigh-high boots for the premiere of "Pitch Perfect 3" in Hollywood, California.

• In 2016, about 43% percent of Americans worked from home at least once in a while, according to Gallup.

• FlexJobs recently released a list of the best companies when it comes to telecommuting.

• The companies are from a range of industries and include some big names like Amazon and Hilton.

Being able to work from anywhere certainly sounds like a great perk.

And about 43% percent of Americans said they worked from home at least once in a while in 2016, according to Gallup.

But not all companies will let you telecommute. So if flexible work is important to you, you've got to do your research.

To help out with your search, FlexJobs released a list of 100 companies that allow you to work from just about anywhere.

Out of a total of over 49,000 companies, these organizations listed the highest numbers of telecommuting job openings on FlexJobs in 2017.

Here are the top 25 organizations on the list:

• 11 celebrities reflect on their successful careers, and offer advice to their younger selves. 
• Mark Cuban would make his 20-year old self take stock of his own strengths and weaknesses. 
• Former First Lady Michelle Obama wishes she would have stopped "being so afraid" in her teens.

As we grow older, we hopefully grow wiser, more aware of the pitfalls and detours that would have stopped us from accomplishing our goals when we were younger. We're not alone in this career journey. Even the most successful leaders today started out young and in need of guidance.

Here are the best pieces of life and career advice celebrities and leaders like Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey would give their younger selves, so that we can learn along with them, and hopefully learn to see a pitfall before we fall into it:

Oprah Winfrey

"I always ask people on 'Super Soul Sunday' to tell me, what would you say to your younger self? Every person says in one form or another, I would have said, relax, Relax. It's going to be okay. It really is going to be okay because even if you're on a detour right now and that's how you know, when you're not at ease with yourself, when you're feeling like ohhh, ohhh, — that is the cue that you need to be moving in another direction. Don't let yourself get all thrown off, continue to be thrown off course. When you're feeling off course, that's the key, " the media mogul and self-made billionaire told Stanford Business School graduates. "The way through the challenge is to get still and ask yourself, 'what is the next right move?'"

Carrie Fisher

"If there's a choice between companionship and anything else—especially career—choose companionship. It's the only thing that has the potential to last. Choose career and you'll spend unreasonable amounts of time attempting to look younger than you are and feeling you aren't succeeding. Fame is not acceptance," the late actress wrote in a letter to her younger self.

Bill Gates

When asked what he would tell his 19-year-old self, the Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist wrote, "What I would explain that smartness is not single dimensional and not quite as important as I thought it was back then. I would say you might explore the developing world before you get into your forties. I wasn't very good socially back then but I am not sure there is advice that would fix that — maybe I had to be awkward and just grow up.."

• Impressing your boss is a crucial part of succeeding at your job.

• Asking for feedback is important, but reading your manager is also a great skill to have.

• Tough love and frequent check ins are some signs that your boss is impressed with you.

Does your boss think you're competent?

It's an important question. Getting along with your boss is a pretty crucial part of succeeding at work. Your manager likely controls whether or not you get promoted, demoted, or fired, after all. Your job is in their hands.

Some bosses make it clear if they adore you — non-romantically, of course. They heap on the praise, give positive and detailed feedback, and make you feel like you're an integral part of the success of the organization.

But not all managers are so open.

It's always good to ask for honest feedback. Before you make inquiries, though, here are a few signs that your boss probably is pretty impressed with your work:

They give you tough love

Suzanne Bates, CEO of Bates Communications and author of "All the Leader You Can Be," tells Business Insider that it can be difficult to figure out whether or not your boss likes you.

"A boss who sees you as promising may give you a lot of feedback, not all of it positive — some of it might be 'tough love' because he or she sees you as someone who can handle it and is ready for more responsibility," she said.

They ask for your input

Bruce Tulgan, the founder of RainmakerThinking and author of "It's Okay to Manage Your Boss," said that bosses confer more with the employees whom they like and trust.

"If the boss often asks your input in one-on-ones and team meetings and leaves plenty of time for you to talk and then responds favorably to what you say — these are good signs," he told Business Insider.

They're not always forthcoming with the compliments

You might think that managers shower the employees whom they value with praise, but Bates noted that this isn't always the case.

"They either think you already know you're in good standing, they don't want to seem to be favoring you, or they simply just forget because you do so many things well," she said.

Bates recommended that you ask for feedback and make it clear that you want your manager to tell it like it is.

Tulgan agreed, saying that workers shouldn't always expect unprompted feedback.

"You should always make sure you are getting expectations spelled out in vivid detail and you should be tracking your performance every step of the way," he said. "Keep score for yourself! Then you won't have to guess."

• It's not always easy to judge your own performance at work.

• In fact, sometimes, you might be underperforming and not even realize it.

• If several of these subtle signs that you're a subpar employee apply to you, consider moving to a role that's a better fit for you.

Some employees are better than others, but what if you're the problem worker in your office?

Being a terrible employee doesn't mean that you're bad, lazy, or even unable to succeed professionally. You could be a bad culture fit for the company. Your disposition may not jibe with your boss' style. Maybe you're just in the wrong industry.

If you feel that you're not doing a good job, then it's important to consider why and then take steps to rectify the situation.

Before you can do that, though, you've got to be able to determine whether or not you are a bad worker.

Here are several tell-tale signs that you're doing a horrible job at work:

• Gates also attends Stanford, where she's majoring in human biology.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs had a famously stormy rivalry from the 1980s onward, forged as both titans sought to best one another in the tech world.

Today, history is repeating itself — sort of.

The daughters of both famed tech moguls — 21-year-old Jennifer Gates and 19-year-old Eve Jobs — are competitors in the world of horseback riding.

Like Jobs, Gates has fared quite well in the sport, even raking in thousands of dollars in prize money.

• While places like Paris and New York City might be on your travel bucket list, they are also very expensive cities.
• Instead of spending all of your money in the Big Apple, head north of the border to Toronto, a city just as lively.
• With flight deals and hotel discounts, planning an affordable vacation is a reality.

For the urban travel aficionado, the world's biggest, baddest, and most expensive cities have unmatched allure. Places like New York City, Tokyo, and London are certainly some of the coolest, busiest, and most energy-packed places on earth, but just a couple nights spent in any of those destinations can leave your bank accounts quickly drained. Luckily, the world is a big place, and many of the world's most expensive cities for tourists have alternatives that are not only cheaper, but often rival their more coveted cousins when it comes to all things trendy and cool.

While we understand that certain destinations offer cultural riches that can't be had elsewhere, our alternatives offer some of what you'd find in their more expensive counterparts, without the heavy toll on your finances. What's more? They have plenty of awesome culture to explore all on their own. Read on for some of the world's coolest, budget-friendly cities that you need to visit now.

Skip Tokyo and visit Seoul, South Korea

Japan and Korea are 100% not the same place and there are major cultural differences to keep in mind when comparing the two. However, Tokyo and Seoul have enough in common to make them worthy compatriots for travelers who are seeking a frenetic, East Asian urban experience. As one of the world's largest cities, Tokyo is packed with almost too many cool neighborhoods to count and is world-famous for its springtime cherry blossoms. Nightlife is wild, and the neon dazzle of the city is not to be underestimated. And that's to say nothing of the city's love of a good theme — from maid and cat cafes to the infamous Robot Restaurant (where pricey Japanese cuisine comes with a brightly-lit, scantily-clad, live-action battle between robots). 

Tokyo, however, is also one of the world's most expensive destinations. Mid-range and upscale hotel rooms hover somewhere between $150 and $300 per night outside of the city's peak seasons — those rates soar during cherry blossom season — and everything from meals to transportation don't come cheaply. Expect to spend around $25 — at least — each for dinner, unless you're opting for fast food, noodle stalls, or curry houses. Additionally, the JR Pass that most travelers will purchase before heading to Japan costs over $250 per person for just one week (unfortunately, it doesn't work on all of the Tokyo's subway lines). 

We are here to tell you that Seoul is one of the most magnetic, charismatic, and vibrant places waiting to be explored. Sure, the culinary traditions, language, style, and cultures between Japan and Korea are completely different, but Seoul still has enough blaring mega-city insanity, making it a fine substitute for Tokyo. That starts with a wildly efficient public transit system, a population that's better versed in English than they are in Tokyo, frenetic markets, K-Pop culture, tantalizing Korean barbecue, amazing street food, and historic temples.

And with neighborhoods like Hongdae, Gangnam, and Hapjeongdong giving Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Roppongi a run for their money when it comes to trend-setting, Seoul has more than enough to keep visitors busy. What's more? Flights to Seoul from major U.S. cities are often cheaper than those to Tokyo, and hotels can be up to 50% cheaper.

Skip New York City and visit Toronto, Canada

New York City is the stuff of legend — and for good reason. It's home to Broadway, television and movie studios, famous actors and actresses, food from every nation on earth, some of the world's tallest buildings, instantly recognizable landmarks, and neighborhoods that have launched everything from worldwide trends to social movements (see: Williamsburg and the Greenwich Village Stonewall riots, respectively, for proof of both). But as we've already told you, just a weekend in New York City as a tourist can do major damage to your wallet.

Thankfully, the United States has a neighbor to the north that's good for everything from reasonably priced health care to poutine. For those reasons alone, we love you, Canada. But it's Canada's largest city that's a fitting, yet often overlooked, rival to New York. No, Toronto is nowhere near as large as New York, and the winters there are even longer and more brutal than those found in NYC. However, when it comes to cultural diversity, the capital of Ontario is actually on par with its far larger neighbor to the south. The city is home to citizens who speak around 200 languages, and over half of the city's population come from minority groups. That includes a massive population of South Asians, Chinese, and Filipino immigrants and citizens. Diversity like this helps create fascinating and culturally rich urban fabrics that are awesome to explore. It also means amazing eats.

As such, Toronto includes trendy neighborhoods like West Queen West, the Distillery District, and Yorkville, as well as places like Chinatown and Kensington Market, where the city's cross-cultural vibe is on full display. Toronto also has a clean and efficient public transit system, a skyline that's one of the world's most recognizable, and a vibrant arts and theater scene. While hotels in Toronto aren't cheap, transportation, food, and entertainment are all significantly less expensive than what you'll find in New York. As an added bonus, the city has plenty of Gotham-like appeal — a lot of TV shows that are set in NYC are actually filmed on Toronto's streets.

Skip Geneva and visit Salzburg, Austria

Despite their linguistic differences (French will be most often heard in Geneva, while German is the lingua franca in Salzburg), there's good reason to swap Switzerland's beautiful Alpine jewel with this western Austrian city. Switzerland as a whole is something of a dream, with its towering mountains, glimmering lakes, fantastic quality of life, and clean air. Along with all of that prosperity and tranquility, however, comes incredibly high prices for nearly everything. It doesn't help that the country uses its own currency, rather than the euro, which makes it even pricier. Yes, Geneva is picture-perfect, but for many travelers, the cost of a beer — which averages nearly $9, according to a 2016 GoEuro survey — is enough to give them pause.

Tucked amid the northeastern fringes of the Alps is Salzburg, Austria — a romantic and beautiful city that's worthy of more attention than it often gets. Want cultural offerings? Salzburg has them in spades and was the birthplace of Mozart. Looking to aimlessly wander a beautiful old city? Head to Salzburg's Altstadt, which clings to the side of the Salzach River, under the imposing Hohensalzburg Castle. Have a sweet tooth that needs fixing? Salzburg's numerous bakeries and cafes are the perfect fit, particularly after a day touring majestic baroque scenery and lovely gardens. And for outdoor enthusiasts, the city is within 45 minutes to two hours of countless major ski resorts, rivaling Geneva's mountain-clad setting. Even if you're not in Salzburg during the winter, the city has plenty of outdoor pursuits.

All of those amazing attributes aside, Salzburg also has a burgeoning arts scene that gives it just a slight edge over mannered and expensive Geneva. The city is also far cheaper to visit for tourists. The average price for a hotel can be at least 50% cheaper in Salzburg than Vienna, and everything from meals to entertainment cost anywhere from 50 to 80% cheaper than Geneva, based on data compiled by Expatistan.

Throughout the years, people have been inundated with books and infomercials about diets that lower your weight, increase your energy, get you pregnant, and a number of other promises that can not be guaranteed from food and food alone. 

Although one or two of  these diets have stood the test of time, many fall into the fad category: they are popular for a minute, but become obsolete the minute they are proven to be ineffective and — in some cases — dangerous. 

From elimination plans to juice cleanses, here are some of the most popular diets over the last 50-plus years. 

1963 — Weight Watchers

According to its official website, Weight Watchers started as a small group of friends meeting at founder Jean Nidetch's home to discuss their weight loss struggles and successes. Today, the program boasts an impressive 1.1 million members, including celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Hudson, and Oprah Winfrey. 

The program uses a science-backed points system, which emphasizes fruits, veggies, and lean protein. Members track their foods and stay within a certain point range, which is assigned based off their needs and goals. 

Though the program has made adjustments to keep up with the times, the concept has always remained the same. In fact, according to Fast Company, the program's flexibility and focus on lifestyle rather than weight has made it one of the most successful "diets" to date. 

1971 — The Grapefruit Diet

This citrus saw a rise in popularity in the '70s due to a diet that promised quick weight loss. According to Healthline, the premise of the Grapefruit Diet was to eat a grapefruit with every meal. The thought was that the grapefruit contained a special enzyme that burns fat fast. 

Although the diet may lead to weight loss, it isn't because of the fruit. 

"Grapefruit has no special properties when it comes to weight loss," Elisabetta Politi, nutrition manager of the Duke University's Diet and Fitness Center, tells Health. She adds that the reason people may lose weight on this diet is that they are consuming less calories. 

1975 - The Cookie Diet

Created by Dr. Sanford Siegal in 1975, the Cookie Diet required people to snack on low-calorie cookies throughout the day, according to US News. The cookies were reportedly made with a secret "hunger-controlling" formula to keep your appetite at bay and your calorie count in check.

The diet made a resurgence in 2009, according to the New York Times, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian West and Kelly Clarkson giving it a try. 

• "Dawson's Creek" is one of the most iconic TV shows from the late '90's/early 2000s.
• It originally premiered on January 20th, 1998 and celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
• Since then, the cast has gone on to become some of the most famous actors in Hollywood.
  

When "Dawson's Creek" premiered on The WB in 1998, it quickly became one of the most talked-about TV shows of the year, and later became one of The WB's most successful shows during its six-season run.

The show turned James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes, and Joshua Jackson into household names, and the Dawson-Pacey-Joey love triangle is still inspiring debates to this day.

Keep reading to find out what your favorite residents of Capeside are up to now.

THEN: James Van Der Beek was the titular character of "Dawson's Creek," Dawson Leery.

Let's face it: Dawson Leery was kind of a jerk. But without him, there would be no "Dawson's Creek." 

During his time on the show, James Van Der Beek, who was 20 years old when the show began, shot to stardom. He used his exposure to score starring roles in "Varsity Blues" and "Rules of Attraction."

His crying face will also live forever on the internet.

NOW: He has had a steady career in Hollywood since "Creek" ended, with roles on "Don't Trust the B-- in Apt. 23," and "What Would Diplo Do?"

The 44-year-old is is focusing more on comedy now. His role on "Don't Trust The B-- in Apt. 23" as a fictionalized version of himself solidified his comedic talent.

Now, Van Der Beek is starring on Viceland's mockumentary series "What Would Diplo Do?" as a fictionalized version of EDM DJ/producer Diplo. He even created an entire Twitter dedicated to his version of "Diplo."

He also recently added his voice to the movement against sexual assault in Hollywood, showing his support for all of the actresses speaking up and admitting that he has "had my a-- grabbed by older, powerful men" on Twitter.

THEN: Katie Holmes stole both the audience and characters' hearts in her role as Joey Potter.

Who Joey should have ended up with is still a sensitive subject for a lot of "Dawson's Creek" fans.

Holmes, only 19 when the show premiered, became very famous very quickly — her marriage and divorce to Tom Cruise was the subject of every tabloid cover for years.

Even though most people know Holmes' relationship with Cruise, before that she was engaged to"American Pie" actor Chris Klein.

Twitter's internal review of the activity on its platform during the 2016 US presidential election led to the identification and suspension of accounts that were "potentially connected to a propaganda effort by a Russian government-linked organization," according to a blog post from the company.

Twitter identified an organization it said took park in propaganda efforts; the Internet Research Agency (IRA) — also referred to as Russia's "troll army."

Twitter said it emailed notifications to 677,775 users who interacted with tweets originating from IRA during the election period. The social-media platform also said that it identified automated Russia-based accounts during the course of its investigation.

Although Twitter alleges that the number of Russian-linked accounts that tweeted election-related content during the election represented a small fraction of the total accounts on Twitter, it acknowledged that "any such activity represents a challenge to democratic societies everywhere."

"Twitter is committed to providing a platform that fosters healthy civic discourse and democratic debate," the company's blog post said.

Though the questionable accounts were suspended and the published content was no longer available, the company provided some examples of the content that "received significant engagement."

Here are some examples of the Russian government-linked tweets that Twitter users shared during the election:

The following tweet, made two days before the 2016 US presidential election, appears to impersonate the Tennessee Republican Party's official Twitter account: @TNGOP.

Former FBI director James Comey was a hot-button topic amongst Democrats and Republicans alike, after he dropped a bombshell recommendation that then-candidate Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges related to her use of a private email server when she was secretary of state.

Another tweet from the IRA appeared to comment on the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

The image of former President Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea Clinton shown here is from the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton at Hofstra University on September 26, 2016.

This account, whose tweets could still be found in online archives, references the conservative rallying cry that followed comments Hillary Clinton made about some of Donald Trump's supporters.

Clinton famously riled up Republicans when she characterized half of Trump's supporters as "a basket of deplorables."

According to Clinton, who made that remark at a campaign event in September 2016, those "deplorables" consisted of people who she called "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, and Islamophobic."

• Thomas Tull, the billionaire producer of blockbuster films "Godzilla" and "Jurassic World," just listed his Los Angeles mansion for $85 million.
• The 33-acre compound has a lake and an organic farm.
• Indoor amenities include a wine cellar, movie theater, photo studio, and Himalayan salt therapy room.

Legendary.

That's the name of the entertainment company Thomas Tull founded in 2000 and the only word to describe the Los Angeles mansion he's selling.

The billionaire film producer is relocating to his hometown in western Pennsylvania, where he already owns several properties, according to The Pittsburgh Gazette. But first, he'll need to find a buyer willing to shell out $85 million for his California compound.

The 33-acre estate comprises seven separate structures, plus a lake, working organic farm, and glass greenhouse. Tull — whose net worth is estimated by Forbes to be about $1.1 billion — started building the estate seven years ago and eventually privatized the cul-de-sac where it sits, reports the LA Times.

The listing is held by Jordan Cohen of RE/MAX.

Below, check out some of the coolest amenities of the $85 million estate:

The mansion is located in Thousand Oaks, California, a Ventura County community northwest of Los Angeles.

The property was modeled after the Giverny gardens of impressionist painter Claude Monet, the architect told the LA Times.

There's 32,000 square feet of living space in the main house — and another 11,000 square feet in the guest house.

It's hard not to compare Meghan Markle— Prince Harry's new fianceé — to Prince William's wife Kate Middleton.

At least on the surface, the two royal courtships couldn't appear more different. Most notably, Markle and Prince Harry met in 2016, when they were both in their 30s. Just about a year later, they announced their engagement.

Middleton and Prince William, on the other hand, met in college. They didn't get engaged until 2010, five years after they graduated.

What's more, while Middleton is British, Prince Harry broke with tradition in some ways by choosing to spend his life with an American.

We asked two relationship experts to explain what these differences might mean for the two marriages, and for the two women's lives. Andrea Syrtash is the author of "He's Just Not Your Type (And That's a Good Thing): How to Find Love Where You Least Expect It" and the founder of Pregnantish.com. Rachel Sussman is a relationship therapist in New York City.

There's no saying what will transpire over the course of either relationship. But as Sussman said, "When you're aware of potential pitfalls, you can really work on the relationship and try to make sure that those don't happen."

SEE ALSO: Meghan Markle has proved her dominance over the 'Kate effect' — and it's worth $677 million

Prince William and Middleton have built a life together, having known each other since college. 'What's wonderful is that they have a history,' Syrtash said.

'They know so much about each other,' Sussman said of couples who met when they were young. 'They have a lot of the same friends. They have shared cultural references and memories.'

Prince Harry and Markle, on the other hand, met in their 30s, meaning they brought more wisdom and self-knowledge to their relationship. In fact, Markle has been married before.

There's nothing like America's over-the-top real estate to remind you that nearly one-third of the world's billionaires call the US home.

But luxury comes in many forms — and at varying price points — across the country. Our friends at Trulia helped us compile a list of the most expensive homes currently for sale in every state, plus Washington, DC.

From a $3 million private island in Alaska to a $180 million European-style estate in California, below are the most expensive homes on the market in every state.

• About 17.2 million cars and trucks were sold in the US last year, according to Kelly Blue Book. 
• The top-selling vehicle was Ford's F-Series. 
• The best-selling SUV was the Toyota Rav 4. 
• And the most popular sedan was the Toyota Camry, though its sales dropped from 2016. 
• Americans continue to favor SUVs and trucks over sedans.

The US auto market kept its momentum in 2017, thanks to strong SUV and pickup truck sales. 

There were about 17.2 million cars and trucks sold last year, according to Kelly Blue Book. While that's slightly down from the 17.6 million vehicles sold in 2016, it still qualifies as a solid market. And just like in previous years, Americans continued to opt for larger vehicles over smaller passenger cars. 

In fact, two of the most popular segments included compact and mid-size crossover SUVs, which combined accounted for about 40% of all car sales in 2017. Pickup trucks were also in demand, with full-size trucks making up about 15% of all vehicles sold.

Byton all-electric SUV

The Chinese startup Byton revealed an all-electric SUV concept at CES. Though it won't be identical to the production version (Byton said the concept represents about 85% of it) that is scheduled for release in 2019, it gives us a pretty good sense of what the final product will look like.

Byton calls the SUV a "smart intuitive vehicle"

The car's features may include face recognition technology, cameras in place of side mirrors, voice and gesture controls, and self-driving capabilities.

• Georgina Bloomberg is the second daughter of former New York City Mayor and media mogul Michael Bloomberg.

• She is an elite equestrian, who's raked in thousands of dollars in prize money and has bounced back from breaking her back twice.

• Bloomberg is also a published novelist, with a degree from New York University.

Georgina Bloomberg was ranked one of Forbes' "most intriguing billionaire heiresses" back in 2007.

That's not surprising. The 34-year-old equestrian, novelist, and animal rights activist has pursued a number of careers over the years.

She's the daughter of one of the richest men in the world. Her father Michael Bloomberg is worth $52 billion, according to Forbes.

But she hasn't always expressed delight about her privileged upbringing. She even admitted that "having the last name Bloomberg sucks" in the 2003 documentary "Born Rich."

Years later, Bloomberg told Town and Country she'd never say that today.

"I've come to have a lot more respect for my parents and my last name and everything that my father has done and how hard he worked to provide a great life for us," she said. "It's a last name that now I'm proud of."

Here's a look at her incredible life:

Bloomberg was born on January 20, 1983 to billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg and his then-wife Susan. She has an older sister named Emma. Their parents divorced in 1993, but Emma told The New York Times in 2001 that they shared a friendly relationship.

Bloomberg began riding horses when she was four and entered her first competition at the age of six. As she began to win competition after completion, she bristled when people attributed her success to her famous father.

"It is a little frustrating when you work as hard as you possibly can and people only think you're successful because of your father, which just isn't true," Bloomberg told The Washington Post in 2010. "A lot of people who are that way are jealous."

America's housing shortage is at "crisis levels," according to Zillow.

The number of homes available for sale fell for a third straight year in 2017, the firm said in a report on Thursday. There were 10% fewer homes on the market in December 2017 compared with December 2016.

"Aging millennials and young families may be able to find more affordable new homes for sale this year, but they'll most likely be in further-flung suburbs with more grueling commutes to urban job centers," said Aaron Terrazas, a senior economist at Zillow.

He added that tax cuts would put more money in buyers' pockets, increasing demand at a time when builders continue to struggle with rising land and labor costs.

The shortage is worse in some markets where home prices are rising faster.

Here are the 15 metro areas that experienced the biggest year-over-year declines in inventory as of December.

A lot has happened in President Donald Trump's first year in office.

He's faced hurricanes, wildfires, deadly mass shootings in Las Vegas and Texas, and terrorist attacks in New York City. He's met with world leaders in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to strengthen relations with allies in the fight against a weakened ISIS and an increasingly nuclearized North Korea.

Back home, Trump continues to tout the low unemployment rate, higher-than-expected GDP growth, and a 17-year high consumer confidence index. He says these are indicators of a booming economy.

Trump also nominated Neil Gorsuch as a Supreme Court justice, instituted travel restrictions on citizens from mostly majority-Muslim countries, declared the opioid crisis a "public health emergency," rolled back Obama-era environmental regulations, pulled out of the Paris climate accord, called for a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, and passed the largest overhaul in the US tax code in a generation, among much more.

Meanwhile, the investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election continues to plague the White House. Special counsel Robert Mueller has already indicted three of Trump's associates: former campaign manager Paul Manafort, foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, and Manafort's protégé, Rick Gates.

As Trump prepares to enter his second year in office, let's take some time to reflect on some of the most memorable moments of his presidency, in photos:

Visiting a Disney park is a truly magical experience, but it's one that comes with a pretty hefty price tag.

It's pretty easy to find money-saving tips for once you’re inside the park — bring your own snacks, get water instead of soda, utilize a Disney Rewards credit card — but something that’s not as easy to know how to save money before you even go on your trip.

When you buy your tickets will make a big difference in cost, so here are some of the best times to buy Disney park tickets in order to get the best deal.

Buy tickets before you go.

This probably seems like a no-brainer, but many people still have the misconception that tickets will be cheaper if they buy them at the gate. That is, 99% of the time, just not true. There are other Disney adventures that do reward last-minute purchases. Disney Cruises, for example, drop the price of unfilled rooms drastically right before sailing. But parks just aren’t one of those things.

Buy your tickets in advance, and you can also start planning your FastPass+ reservations.

Buy when your child is under three or under 10.

Children under 3-years-old get free park entrance and don't require a dining plan, while children under 10 receive a marginally lower rate on each. Buying tickets before your kid hits one of these milestones will definitely save you a good chunk of money.

It's worth noting that if your child turns three or 10 during your trip, you're not required to pay any extra money, as long as they were underage when the trip started. So if you've been on the fence about when to go, a birthday trip might be your answer.

Buy when you can stay multiple days.

Disney offers significant discounts for multi-day tickets, and the longer your trip, the more money you'll save. There's a chart over on the Disney ticket page that can help you figure out the pricing structure.  

Take a look at the ticket chart below for an example of the pricing structure.
