Forbes has released its annual "Richest People In America List." 

The Forbes 400 always includes the biggest names in the hedge fund space. We counted 30 hedge fund managers this year.

Fund managers like Daniel Loeb of Third Point and Bill Ackman of Pershing Square have both seen their net-worth increase significantly in the past year. Steve Cohen also saw a $1 billion jump in his personal fortune. 

The 84-year-old George Soros is still king, though, with an estimated net-worth of $24 billion.

On the flip side, numerous billionaire fund managers in the US didn't make the cut. Folks like Baupost Group's Seth Klarman and Discovery Capital's Rob Citrone, who are worth 10 figures, weren't quite rich enough.

The battle rages on.

Wall Street and Silicon Valley keep fighting for the top graduates.

Students are increasingly waving good-bye to Wall Street... the tech industry just keeps getting more and more alluring.

And banks are getting nervous. Some have started to raise junior banker salaries, and others have cut hours — hoping to attract and retain the top talent.

Still, some graduates are still heading to Wall Street, and Business Insider wanted to know why.

So we've asked some recent grads why they chose Wall Street over Silicon Valley — even though tech is the industry du jour. 

The computer science intro class was "the hardest class ever."

“I had to take the computer science intro class for the engineering requirement. Holy ****, it was the hardest class I ever took in my life. I was up until 4 AM trying to get those problem sets done.”

Everyone in the family worked in finance.

“Both my father and grandfather worked at banks, and I went into college assuming I would do the same. I grew up knowing a lot about the industry. I never thought about going into tech... Or being a doctor or lawyer, or anything like that.”

There's a strong fraternity alumni network connected to some banks.

“A lot of my frat’s alumni worked at [a big bulge bracket bank]. It just seemed like... the most direct path for me. I actually secured my summer analyst gig by December.”

Thursday morning, Netflix announced Adam Sandler signed an exclusive four-movie deal with the streaming site. 

Earlier this week, Netflix announced its first venture into original films. It will release a sequel to "Crouching Tiger" next summer, at the same time it will debut in theaters.

According to Netflix, Sandler's films are among the most viewed by subscribers not only in the U.S., but across its nearly 50 global territories from Brazil to the U.K.

The deal makes sense for Sandler, whose films haven't been making as big of a splash domestically as they have been internationally.

His last movie, "Blended," which reunited the actor with Drew Barrymore, was an overall box-office disappointment, and one of Sandler's lowest opening box-office weekends ever. The $40 million film made $46.3 million domestically, but a whopping $80.5 million overseas.

After more than 30 movies, the actor's films have arguably gotten considerably worse and wackier (Sandler played both himself and his sister in 2011's critically panned "Jack and Jill"). Despite 19 Razzie nominations and five wins, Sandler's movies have amassed more than $3.9 billion worldwide.

We've taken a look at his biggest hits based on worldwide gross adjusted for ticket price inflation. Through all of the actors serious and wacky roles, it's clear that the zanier the role, the bigger the cash grab at the box office. Left off this list are animated Sandler films.

11. "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" (2008)

Estimated Budget: $90 million
Worldwide gross unadjusted: $199.9 million
Adjusted for ticket price inflation: $227 million
Rotten Tomatoes:37%/45% 

Sandler plays a man who fakes his own death to live out his dream of becoming a hairstylist in New York City in "You Don't Mess With the Zohan."

10. "Mr. Deeds" (2002)

Estimated Budget: $50 million
Worldwide gross unadjusted: $171.2 million
Adjusted for ticket price inflation: $240 million
Rotten Tomatoes:  22%/60%

The remake of Frank Capra's 1936 film followed Sandler as a pizza shop owner named Longfellow Deeds who comes into a great fortune of money. The film received three Razzie Award nominations including Worst Actor but is one of Sandler's most successful hits.

(Box Office Mojo)

9. "Bedtime Stories" (2009): $242 million

Estimated Budget: $80 million
Worldwide Gross Unadjusted: $212.8 million
Adjusted for ticket price inflation: $242 million
Rotten Tomatoes:25%/56% 

The family film opened during the 2009 holiday season against animated picture "The Tale of Despereaux" and "Marley and Me," easily beating out the first film. The film also edged out "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" at the box office when it debuted.

Any woman who has made it to the top knows that being boastful about your accomplishments can cost you — and not just in terms of dollars.

Research finds again and again that women are discouraged from exhibiting pride in their empires including their sizable accomplishments and bank accounts.

Women vocalizing their success is incongruent with "the feminine gender stereotype of supportiveness, submissiveness and interpersonal sensitivity," to quote one study, meaning that we oftentimes get deemed  "not a team player," which is actually sexist code for "not ladylike."

While women may be culturally discouraged from articulating that they want to be filthy rich (or that they are!), that hasn’t stopped some throughout history from discussing wealth: its strengths, its weaknesses and its role in their successes.

But, most importantly, for many of these iconic women, wealth and money is defined beyond the dollar amount: Money is ambitions, independence, time, and sheer opportunity.

Rita Rudner

Rita Rudner is an American actress, comedian and writer. She received a Gracie Allen Award from the American Women in Television and Radio for her comedy show, "Ask Rita."

She has performed alongside Sheryl Crow and Bette Midler and has appeared on the show "Melissa & Joey."

Katharine Meyer

Katharine Meyer was publisher and CEO of her family’s newspaper, The Washington Post, for over 20 years, including during the Watergate coverage that lead to President Richard Nixon’s resignation.

In 1972, she became the first female Fortune 500 CEO. Meyer won the Pulitzer Prize for her 1998 memoir, "Personal History."

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe is considered one of the most famous American actresses to have ever lived, enduring as an international sex symbol for over four decades.

She starred in such iconic American films as "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,""The Seven Year Itch" and "Some Like It Hot." During her lifetime, her films grossed more than $200 million.

In 1993, a prospector named Michael de Guzman walked out of the jungles of Borneo with extraordinary news: he found gold.

This is according to MasterMinds, a Canadian true crime documentary television series produced by truTV.

For the next three years, de Guzman produced thousands of core samples riddled with gold.  Canada's CBC News has a detailed timeline of the events.

During that period, the market value of de Guzman's employer, Bre-X Minerals, went from nothing to $6 billion.  BusinessWeek notes that Wall Street's top analysts were extremely bullish on the stock.  Big funds poured money into the stock and the world's major miners wrestled for a piece of the action.

The problem: there was no gold.

As the story unraveled, records mysteriously burned and people unexpectedly died.  Questions were left unanswered.

There are plenty of people who wish this story would just go away.  But just a few days ago, a lawyer representing one of the players in the Bre-X story was disbarred.

What follows is a summary of MasterMinds' telling of the incredible story.

NOTE: The images and the details in this feature are from MasterMinds. Many of the images are from reenactments of the events.

Michael de Guzman,a Filipino geologist, was struggling to get recognition from his employer. So, he devised a plan to get rich

He would convince the world that he had found gold in Borneo. But first he needed someone with credibility to corroborate his story

Enter geologist John Felderhof, who immediately got excited about the news. De Guzman convinced Felderhof that they needed an investor

For this year's list of the "sexiest" Wall Streeters, we decided to go in a bit of a different direction.

Instead of the typical Jamie Dimon, Dan Loeb, and Bill Ackman lineup, we scoured Wall Street for new names. Of course, we still have a few household names on the list, too.  

For the list, our guest judge Stephanie Ruhle, the anchor of Bloomberg TV's "Market Makers," helped come up with some names of the sexiest men in finance. 

If you'd like to nominate someone for a future list, please send a photo and a brief bio to jlaroche@businessinsider.com.

There comes a time in every gentleman's life when he starts to value time — he values it so much, in fact, that he wants to wear it as a gorgeous piece on his wrist. At this point, it is time to start a watch collection.

This should be done carefully. A gentleman should conduct his research before selecting his first watch. It is a deduction that requires an understanding of not only what is out there, but also of one's own personal style.

And of course, one's own financial limitations.

"Unless you're spending $5,000 to $10,000 you're not going to have an investment-grade watch," says Benjamin Clymer, editor of men's watch site, Hodinkee. "Just make sure you buy something that you love ... Really do your homework. ... There's nothing worse than realizing you don't have the watch that you think you have."

Now here's what you can have. You must decide if you would like your watch to be automatic or manual (meaning you'll have to wind it). You must decide if you would like to purchase a vintage watch (from, say, eBay or a flea market) or a new watch.

After that, there are still almost too many options, so here are some things to keep in mind.

"Like so many other things in men’s dress, it is best to keep your watch pretty simple and restrained," says Justin Jeffers of men's style blog, The Fine Young Gentleman. "Not restrained in the sense that you shouldn’t wear a $25,000 watch ... But restrained in the sense that a man shouldn’t wear some oversized, over iced or over styled watch (or anything else) on his wrist. ... A watch should not be so big that your shirt cuff cannot fit over it. There are few things more gaudy than a huge watch face staring you in the face from someone else’s wrist. It takes attention away from the things that matter (like the wearer's face) and puts it where it doesn’t matter (the wearer's wrist)."

Now let's say you're starting out at a fairly low price point (under $500). What should you get?

Consider going vintage; it's more work but it's also more rewarding. Clymer recommends purchasing an old Omega brand.

You'll want to make sure the vintage piece you buy has as much of its old parts intact as possible, especially with things you can see, like the dial or the face. You want your watch to look old — like it's been passed down from generation to generation.

"The dream watch for a vintage watch collector is a watch that has never been serviced or messed with at all," says Clymer.

If you want a new watch, things are a little different.

"To get a really good mechanical watch [under $500] you're going to want to look at Seiko," said Clymer.

You could also check out Pulsar, Timex, Citizen, Daniel Wellington, Bulova, Shinola, ESQ, Luminox, and Tissot. There's a debate raging in the men's watch world about whether or not you should buy from a company that creates items other than watches (like, say, a Burberry) — but it's bloody, and Business Insider is staying out of it.

What's more important is that you take care of your watch.

"Keep your watch away from super magnets (large speakers, buckyballs, etc).  Although unlikely, it could move pieces inside," says Kirk Miller, nation editor at men's lifestyle newsletter, InsideHook. "Extreme temperature changes, shouldn't be a problem, but again be careful. Expansion and contraction do funny things to watch insides. Leave your watch in the locker when going into the sauna."

And take care of how you use your watch, as well.

"Do not wear a sports or digital watch with a suit. It’s like putting VW wheels on an Audi," says Jeffers.

All this said, you're going to have to service your watch. Especially if you buy something high end or vintage. If your watch is new, you can take it to the manufacturer. If it's vintage, make sure to go to someone who understands what you want, and won't Frankenstein your watch with new parts you don't want.

If you do all that, your watch could last forever.

If you're into vintage pieces, you can get a 1950s Omega like this one for less than $500 on eBay.

Seiko was a unanimous favorite for a starter watch.

Pulsar is a division of Seiko and makes some great traditional-looking watches.

We recently laid out the best jobs for pay raises and growth — a new report from financial tools startup SmartAsset. While half of the top 10 careers were in healthcare — showing that these professionals can easily and quickly move up and make more — a recent report from PayScale found that this most definitely isn't an industry-wide trend. 

In fact, healthcare jobs dominated PayScale's list of the worst professions for salary growth. 

To compile its ranking of jobs with the slowest salary growth, PayScale examined the median pay for over 2,000 professions over a 20-year period. They found that pay raises are especially hard to come by in healthcare jobs, including pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and anesthesiologists.

While college professors took the No. 1 spot, the next 10 jobs on the list are in healthcare.

PayScale's lead economist Katie Bardaro notes that healthcare jobs are "somewhat unique," because, while they tend to offer above-average starting salaries, "much of their training happens in school or shortly after starting their career," she explains. "Therefore, they start out with high earnings, due to the barriers of entry associated with these jobs like advanced education, but don't see much accumulated growth as they are basically trained right out the door."

However, this doesn't mean that the outlook for these salaries won't catch up to other, faster growing healthcare jobs. "New technologies and methodologies mean on-the-job training for some healthcare positions is likely to pick up steam in coming years," Bardaro says.

In the meantime, here are the 25 worst jobs for salary growth, according to PayScale, with job descriptions from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

25. Program Coordinator, Non-Profit Organization

They coordinate and supervise social service programs and community organizations and direct and lead staff who provide services to the public.

Growth rate: 29.1%

First year median pay: $33,000

20th year median pay: $42,600

24. Veterinarian

Veterinarians diagnose, treat, and research medical conditions and diseases of pets, livestock, and other animals.

Growth rate: 29.0%

First year median pay: $65,600

20th year median pay: $84,600

23. Licensed Professional Counselor

Counselors work with individuals and groups to promote optimum mental and emotional health by helping patients deal with addictions and substance abuse; family, parenting, and marital problems; stress management; and self-esteem.

Growth rate: 28.5%

First year median pay: $41,700

20th year median pay: $53,600

There are infinitely many numbers, and infinitely many ways to combine and manipulate those numbers.

Mathematicians often represent numbers in a line. Pick a point on the line, and this represents a number.

At the end of the day, though, almost all of the numbers that we use are based on a handful of extremely important numbers that sit at the foundation of all of math.

What follows are the eight numbers you actually need to build the number line, and to do just about anything quantitative.

Zero

In The Beginning, There Was Zero.

Zero represents the absence of things. Zero is also an essential element of our number system. We use zero as a placeholder when writing numbers with more than one digit — zero lets me know the difference between having 2 dollars and 20 dollars.

Zero as a number on its own is also extremely important in math. Zero is the "additive identity"— any time I add a number to zero, I get that number back: 3 + 0 = 3. This property of zero is a central aspect of arithmetic and algebra. Zero sits in the middle of the number line, separating the positive numbers from the negative numbers, and is thus the starting point for building our number system.

One

We Can't Get Very Far Just Having Zero, So We Turn To One.

As zero was the additive identity, one is the multiplicative identity — take any number and multiply it by one, and you get that number back. 5 x 1 is just 5.

Just using one, we can start to build up the number line. In particular, we can use one to get the natural numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. We keep adding one to itself to get these other numbers: 2 is 1 + 1, 3 is 1 + 2, 4 is 1 + 3, and we keep going, right on out to infinity.

The natural numbers are our most basic numbers. We use them to count things. We can also do arithmetic with the natural numbers: if I add or multiply together any two natural numbers, I get another natural number. I can also sometimes, but not always, subtract two natural numbers, or divide one natural number by another: 10 - 6 = 4, and 12 ÷ 4 = 3. Just using zero and one, and our basic arithmetic operations, we can already do a good amount of math just using the natural numbers.

Negative One

Natural Numbers Are Pretty Great, But They Are Also Quite Limited.

To start with, it is not always possible to subtract two naturals and get another natural. If all I have to work with are these counting numbers, I have no idea how to parse a statement like 3 - 8.

One of the wonderful things about math is that, when we are confronted with a limitation like this, we can just expand the system we are working with to remove the limitation.  To allow for subtraction, we add -1 to our growing number line. -1 brings with it all the other negative whole numbers, since multiplying a positive number by -1 gives the negative version of that number: -3 is just -1 x 3. By bringing in negative numbers, we have solved our subtraction problem. 3 - 8 is just -5. Putting together the positive numbers, zero, and our new negative numbers, we get the integers, and we can always subtract two integers from each other and get an integer as the result. The integers provide the anchor points for the number line.

The negative numbers are useful in representing deficits — if I owe the bank $500, I can think of my bank balance as being -500. We also use negative numbers when we have some scaled quantity where values below zero are possible, such as temperature. In the frozen wasteland of my hometown of Buffalo, we would get a few winter days each year down in the -20° range.

Often chided as the "hipster" or "stroller central" outer borough, Brooklyn, New York, is home to a thriving and diverse small business scene.

We scoured its 71 square miles, as far north as Greenpoint and deep as Bay Ridge, to find the shops, restaurants, bars, and startups worth the trek from Manhattan.

What sets this collection apart from our regular Coolest Small Businesses lists is the number of companies run by native Brooklynites. 

"Owning a business in Brooklyn, as a lot of my family members had in generations before me, means a lot in terms of being able to make something and sell it in a place I was born and raised,"saysBridget Firtle, owner of small-batch distillery The Noble Experiment NYC. "It's super rewarding."

For this list we focused on businesses that opened within the past five years or so. Know a cool business we missed? Let us know in the comments.

A.L.C. Italian Grocery

8613 3rd Ave., Bay Ridge

What it is: An upscale Italian marketplace.

Why it's cool: Louis Coluccio, born and raised in the Brooklyn neighborhood where his grandfather started an Italian food importing business some 50 years ago, opened the upscale marketplace A.L.C. Italian Grocery in 2012 as a nod to traditional Italian salumerias.

The quick-service menu walks the line between old-school Italian and earthy-crunchy, serving both arancini — rice balls stuffed with fresh risotto, reggiano cheese, and parsley — and raw kale salad with beets.

Ample Hills Creamery

Multiple locations in Brooklyn

What it is: A neighborhood ice cream shop with addicting flavors.

Why it's cool: Named as a nod to a Walt Whitman Poem, Ample Hills Creamery is a new Brooklyn institution that churns out, quite literally, the best ice cream in the borough. Popular flavors include salted crack caramel, ooey gooey butter cake, and the munchies — a pretzel-infused ice cream with bits of Ritz crackers, potato chips, and mini M&Ms.

Founders Brian Smith and Jackie Cuscuna recently published a book of their best stories and recipes.

Annie's Blue Ribbon General Store

232 5th Ave., Park Slope

What it is: A gift shop for the person who has everything.

Why it's cool: Annie's Blue Ribbon is the store with anything and everything for people who love anything and everything. Browse the shelves full of Ryan Gosling coloring books, rockabilly temporary tattoos, wine candles, maps of all the best burger joints in New York, and other assorted tchotchkes. The shop also sells a ton of Brooklyn-themed goods and products.

Some of the sweetest rock ballads were inspired by daddy's girls: Billy Joel's "Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel)," Bruce Springsteen's "When You Need Me," Phil Collins' "You'll Be In My Heart," and other emotional tracks you'd find on a father-daughter dance compilation album.

Even Bono — who came under fire recently when Apple installed the new U2 album on iTunes users' devices without asking — covered Lady Gaga's "Telephone" at his daughter Eve's 21st birthday party.

From models and DJs to actors and musicians, meet the new crop of muses of the most celebrated rock stars.

Alexa Ray Joel, 28, is the singer-daughter of Billy Joel.

Alexa Ray released an EP, "Sketches," in 2006 and was the face of Prell hair care, which previously employed her supermodel mother, Christie Brinkley, as its spokeswoman. Earlier this year, after her first sold-out performance at the Carlyle in New York, rumors swirled that Alexa Ray had undergone plastic surgery (again).

Jemima Kirke, 29, and Lola Kirke, 23, are the actress-daughters of Free and Bad Company's Simon Kirke.

British-born Jemima was an artist before close friend Lena Dunham persuaded her to audition for the role of free-spirit Jessa in HBO's "Girls." She is the older sister of Lola, who is having a breakout moment of her own after landing a New York Times profile and a small role in "Gone Girl."

Jessica Rae Springsteen, 22, is the horseback-riding daughter of Bruce Springsteen.

Jessica Rae is a senior at Duke University and a champion horseback rider, placing first in her jumping division at the 2013 FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival. Two years ago, she just narrowly missed out on joining the USA Olympic team.

Since the early days of the internet, retail banks have feared the day when customers would turn away from traditional brick-and-mortar bank branches. With the rise of mobile banking, it's definitely starting to happen. 

BI Intelligence finds that even banks' desktop websites are seeing a loss in use, as smartphone apps become personal finance hubs. Young consumers are also increasingly looking to tech companies for financial services. We've created these slides to preview our report on how digital banking is changing in the mobile era. We hope you enjoy it.

From Alabama to Wyoming, craft breweries are making brews that blow the competition out of the water. Of course, everyone has their favorite home state beer, and opinions differ depending on who you ask.

We asked our friends at craft beer authority RateBeer.com to help us come up with the best beer in every state.

The majority of beers on this list are imperial stouts and IPAs, but higher ABV (alcohol by volume) beers seem to be trending in general. Did your favorite beer make the list?

ALABAMA: Straight to Ale hails from Huntsville. The brewery's Laika Russian Imperial Stout clocks in at 11.7% ABV and features notes of coffee and chocolate.

In 1979, after steady population increase and declining infant mortality rates under Mao Zedong, the ruling Communist Party in China instituted a "one-child" policy on young families in the country. While the legislation allowed for some exceptions, the regulation was quite effective, greatly reducing China's birthrates.

35 years later, as older generations retire, China might not have enough citizens to meet its growing workforce demand. Experts now say the China is in dire need of a baby boom, and the country has been relaxing the policy as of late.

Reuters photographer Carlos Barria was born in 1979, the same year the rules was put in place in China. Though Barria is a native of Argentina, he recently traveled to Shanghai to document the effects of China's "one-child" policy on the children who were born under it. He photographed one person born in each year the policy has been in place, and ask them about their desire for siblings.

"This topic has been photographed for many, many years... I was trying to look for a different way to photograph it," Barria says in a recent Reuters video. 

He found differing answers from different generations. Some of his subjects were worried about sharing things like parent's affections or money for college. Others felt lonely and thought it would be beneficial to grow up with a brother or sister.

"It gave me the opportunity to see a whole generation of Chinese, from zero to 35-years-old and see their frustrations and expectations and dreams for the future," Barria says.

(Captions by Carlos Barria and edited by Christian Storm)

Jin Yanxi, who was born in 2014, poses for a photograph in Shanghai September 4, 2014. China, the world's most populous country with nearly 1.4 billion people, says the one-child policy has averted 400 million births since 1980, saving scarce food resources and helping to pull families out of poverty.

Huang Aiting, who was born in 2013, sits in his family's home. Aiting did not say if he wanted to have siblings. Couples violating the policy have had to pay a fine, or in some cases have been forced to undergo abortions.

Qin Wuyue, who was born in 2010, poses for a photograph in Shanghai. When asked if he would like to have siblings, Wuyue explains, "No, they're noisy."

Prices in Venezuela keep going up and up. The annual inflation rate soared to 63.4% in August, according to the latest figures published by the central bank. 

Meanwhile, the country is plagued by food and good shortages and the local currency, the Bolivar (Bs), has plummeted under the regime of President Nicolás Maduro.

To capture Venezuela's economic crisis, Reuters photographer Carlos Garcia Rawlins photographed basic items — like a towel or a can of cola — and price-tagged them as if they were sold in US dollars at the official rate of 6.3 bolivars to the dollar.

"My aim was to demonstrate how Venezuela’s currency controls and runaway inflation — the annual rate is more than 63%, the highest in the Americas — are distorting the economy,"Rawlins said on the Reuters photographers' blog. See the illustrations here, then head over to the blog to learn more about how Rawlins created this project. 

The Venezuelan government calls the country's minimum wage of Bs 4,252 per month the highest in the region.

This converts to $675 per month, using the official exchange rate.

But the black market rate — the real price you'll pay — is Bs 100 to $1.

Google's free food is the stuff of legends. 

With close to 30 cafés at the company's Mountain View, California headquarters, no Googler could ever go hungry.

According to former head chef Nate Keller, who left the company in 2008, at one point Google was serving more than 40,000 gourmet meals a day, spending $80 million a year on food alone. 

From vegan truffles to full-blown Indian feasts, there's plenty of food to choose from for every meal of the day.

For breakfast, Googlers can grab an omelet from Crave Cafe. This one is packed with vegetables, ham, and cheese, and served with stir-fried rice, potatoes, and Sriracha on the side.

The S&P 500 has gained 7% so far this year.

Despite what has been a 200% rally in the market since early 2009, Goldman Sachs' David Kostin believes the S&P still has the ability to go from 1,960 today to 2,050 by the end of the year. From there, Kostin sees it going to 2,200 by the end of 2016.

While further gains in the market are likely to be modest, some stocks are certainly going to outperform others.

Kostin's new quarterly chartbook includes a list of 40 stocks offering the most upside relative to Goldman Sachs analysts' price targets.

There are a significant number of oil and gas companies including Halliburton, Cabot and Alcoa inc. Also on this quarter's list of the stocks with the biggest upside are tech high-flyers like Amazon and salesforce.com.
