Everybody needs some good advice sometimes — even billionaire tech CEOs.

Here's who Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Travis Kalanick, Jeff Bezos, and 10 more tech business leaders consider to be the mentors who supported them on their rise to the top.

Steve Jobs was actually instrumental in the development of quite a few tech executives. Not only did he have a close relationship with Apple CEO Tim Cook ...

... Jobs also mentored Mark Zuckerberg through the earliest days of Facebook, right alongside Napster founder and first Facebook President Sean Parker. (Snoop Dogg was not involved in the earliest days of Facebook. Probably.)

Google cofounder and current Alphabet CEO Larry Page also says he got some crucial advice from Jobs while the Apple CEO was on one of his medical leaves — including the suggestion to focus on search.

Whole Foods is notoriously expensive, and Trader Joe's has a reputation for being pretty cheap. But just how big is the price discrepancy?

I scoured the aisles and compared the prices of 24 items at Trader Joe's to Whole Foods' private label, 365 Everyday Value, which aims to offer value prices every day of the year. Expecting the Whole Foods prices to be really high, I was pleasantly surprised at how comparable some items were. And it turns out that the specialty grocer has a few hidden deals.

In general, you'll get the most bang for your buck at Trader Joe's, but check out the price breakdown yourself. Keep in mind that some of the Whole Foods 365 items are offered only in organic form, while Trader Joe's typically offers both an organic and regular option. I chose to highlight the cheapest option I could find at both chains:

SEE ALSO: I compared the price of organic and regular items at Whole Foods

Yogurt

Trader Joe's: $3.19 per 32-ounce container

Whole Foods 365: $3.19 per 32-ounce container

My first pleasant surprise came in the yogurt aisle, where I found the same size container of organic yogurt for the same price.

Milk

Trader Joe's: $2.29 per half-gallon

Whole Foods 365: $3.99 per half-gallon

Milk at Whole Foods was noticeably pricier. If you went through a half-gallon of milk a week, you'd be saving about $90 a year if you shopped at Trader Joe's.

Note that the Whole Foods milk is organic.

Almond milk

Trader Joe's: $2.99 per half-gallon

Whole Foods 365: $3.69 per half-gallon

If you're more of an almond-milk person, shopping at Trader Joe's would save you about $35 a year if you went through one carton a week.

Note that Whole Foods' almond milk is organic.

Even in great shows, not all seasons are created equal.

Amazon has recently begun to challenge Netflix for the crown of best original streaming content.

We decided to pull data from reviews aggregator Metacritic to find out which seasons of Amazon hits like "Transparent" and "Mozart in the Jungle" had the best ratings, and how they compared to new arrivals like "The Man in the High Castle." We left out shows aimed at kids and ones resurrected from other networks.

Here is every season of every Amazon original show, ranked based on their critical reception:

There's a minority that not many people think about and has stumped scientists for decades: lefties.

About 10% of the human population is left-handed, yet no one knows for sure why lefties are so rare.

It's probably due to a mix of factors, including genetics, evolution, and even prenatal hormones. Or it might be the result of something else.

Here are some of the most interesting facts researchers have reported as they attempt to unlock the keys to left-handedness:

Most animals show no bias for handedness, meaning that half of the population are righties and half are lefties. Humans and our closest relatives, chimps, are an exception. About 90% of humans and 70% of chimps are right-handed.

Wes Bentley is best known for his roles as a brooding extrovert, as in “American Beauty” or “The Hunger Games.” His piercing eyes and stern look have made him the perfect choice for roles in which dark and mysterious are requirements.

His latest movie, "Knight of Cups," by legendary director Terrence Malick, is filled with mystery, exploring the befuddling past of a Hollywood screenwriter, played by Christian Bale. Bentley is the writer's troubled but loyal brother.

We talked to Bentley about some of the highlights from his career, starting with "Knight of Cups," out this weekend.

SEE ALSO: This is the most bizarre movie-set story ever — from an actor in mysterious director Terrence Malick's new "Knight of Cups"

To prepare for "Knight of Cups," Bentley spent a lot of time "in rooms."

To fully understand what Terrence Malick wanted from him, Bentley said there was “lots of time spent in rooms, building the history.”

First, that meant meeting the director, which led to a discussion less about the movie and more about their past.

“Geographically we’re from a similar area,” said Bentley, who is from Arkansas; Malick is from Illinois. “We also had a lot of similarities in our childhood and family life, so we mostly talked about that.”

That talk carried over into prep for the film, as Bentley and Bale spent a lot of time together talking about themselves.

“I took it all as the experience of now. Whether it’s in the film or not, I’m all good with that,” he said of the notoriously unique process Malick employs. “I knew working with Terry, a lot of what I did might not make the film.”

The success of “American Beauty” was hard for him to cope with.

Most of us first met Bentley on the screen in his breakout role in the best picture Oscar-winning 1999 film “American Beauty,” playing Ricky, the loner-next-door neighbor who loves to record plastic bags floating in the wind.

Then in his early ‘20s, the actor admits it was hard to take in the exposure of the movie.

“It was a blessing as an actor,” he said. “Personally, it was tough. It was tough to follow up on that. I feel I have a skewed vision of it. It was so weird and felt extreme. I was young and had a lot of big lessons learned, and a lot of that had to do with the attention that came from the movie. At the end of the day, I just didn’t know what to do at that moment, as far as dealing with the attention.”

Why he thinks no one went to see “The Four Feathers.”

A few years after the success of “American Beauty,” Bentley starred in one of the most anticipated movies of 2002, “The Four Feathers,” the latest adaptation of the A.E.W. Mason novel that follows the British Army’s Gordon Relief Expedition in the Sudan in the late 1800s.

Putting him alongside Heath Ledger (Bentley plays his best friend in the role) and Kate Hudson, the movie was touted as a modern-day “Lawrence of Arabia,” with its lush desert cinematography. The movie turned out to be a bomb, only taking in $30 million worldwide (the film cost $35 million to make).

Looking back, Bentley speaks very highly of the experience.

“I’ve seen it a few times since its release, and I’m proud of it,” he said. “There’s no CGI in that movie. Spending three months in Morocco and three months in London, it was an incredible life experience. Heath [Ledger] really did become one of my best friends.”

Bentley believes it was bad timing that led to the film’s disappointing release.

“We shot it before 9/11, and they had no choice to release it after, and the subject matter was close [to the events]. That’s all I could ever reason with,” he said.

I came from a family where money was always an issue.

My father was a union electrician who brought in a nice, but not exceptional, living. My mom was a stay at-home mom turned jobbie-entrepreneur (as I talked about here). But, money was always tight.

When my parents separated in my early teen years (and ultimately divorced), that put further pressure on their financials and assured that they wouldn’t be able to pay for my college education.

When I graduated from arguably the best undergraduate business school in the country, The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania in 1995, I had an Ivy League education and $40,000 of college debt. I was determined that in less than eight years, I would go from being in that financial hole to having a net worth of one million dollars.

And I did it. Here’s how.

1. Set the goal

Probably the most important but overlooked part of attaining a goal is having one to begin with. A goal means a very specific, desired outcome, with a specific date of completion and a plan of steps to help complete it.

My specific goal was to make my first million by age 30. I chose that because of the stress that not having a lot of savings put on my family, and I didn’t want to have to deal with a constant state of financial chaos. I figured having a cool million in the bank would allow me to be able to take more risks, have more flexibility and lessen my stress.

Age 30 seemed like a good challenging goal but still reasonable. While the tech world makes some folks billionaires at a young age now, back in 1995, I didn’t have a beeper, let alone a cell phone or a smart phone. I didn’t own my own computer (I went to the school’s lab) and the only thing resembling the internet was one email list-serve that I was on until I was introduced to Netscape (look it up if you are too young to remember it) after I started my first job. So, a million dollars was a good stretch.

Having the goal was something to continue to work towards and provided a benchmark of sorts to evaluate different activities to see if they would further me reaching that goal.

2. Take a high-pay, big opportunity job

My next step was to find a job that would pay me the most amount of money (legally), while giving me a strong skill set that I could leverage down the road. I choose to go into the corporate finance side of investment banking, which paid me somewhere in the neighborhood of $85,000 my first year and well into the mid-to-high six-figures in subsequent years.

Not only did I pick the right job, I picked the right company to work for. While I could have gone the prestige route and taken a job at a company like Goldman Sachs, I picked a more boutique firm that had a meritocracy environment. I thought that there was a better shot at getting promoted and earning more in the out years in that type of company — which proved to be true.

3. Work your butt off

I worked like crazy. I would say that most weeks, I worked 16 to 18 hours a day, six to seven days a week. I pulled many all-nighters. I got on as many deal teams and live transactions as possible and learned as much as I could.

At 6:35 p.m. on March 4, SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, sending a satellite called SES-9 into orbit far above the Earth.

It all happened fast; the rocket travels at thousands of miles per hour.

But if you were lucky enough to be on a nearby plane at just the right moment, you would have been treated to something that seems like a view from the future: a rocket streaming by in a bright flash of light as it began its 25,000 mile journey toward the stars.

Will Carr got that very view from his plane on Friday, and gave Tech Insider permission to share his photos here. (We first spotted them on Reddit.)

"The pilot made an announcement over the speakers saying that we were gonna slow down so that we could see it up close," he wrote on Reddit. "[P]retty much everyone was glued to the windows. After he said we had to speed up again everyone was clapping. It was amazing."

You can see the rocket begin as a small glowing orb near the ground and then quickly soar upwards beyond the clouds.

Check out Carr's photos below:

Will Carr was flying near Cape Canaveral, Florida, when he took these shots of a SpaceX rocket taking off.

The bright orange dot is not the sun — it's the nine engines of a Falcon 9 rocket burning hundreds of gallons of propellant per second.

From more than a million dollars in donations to a relatively meager few thousand, Hollywood A-listers are putting money forward to support their favorite presidential hopefuls in the 2016 election.

Hillary Clinton has raised the most money during the campaign, and this is especially true when it comes to power players in the entertainment world. Steven Spielberg and studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg have donated more than a million to support her run. But, as The New York Times points out, the upper echelon of donors in elections tends to include more people from finance and energy.

Business Insider has compiled reporting on contributions and searched the Federal Election Commission database to highlight the biggest donors from Hollywood in the current race. While not a comprehensive list — there are many smaller amounts coming from individuals in entertainment — it includes the largest known sums and focuses only on donations of $2,500 or more. The maximum an individual can contribute to a campaign in an election cycle is $2,700, but Business Insider also looked at larger contributions to super PACs.

Here are the top Hollywood backers in the election, the campaigns they're supporting, and how much they've given:

This year, for the 75th anniversary of the introduction of the war-winning Willys MB jeep, today's Jeep will be showering us with a good many ads involving a rather streamlined evolution from that fabled vehicle to their latest range of models.

But let's be clear here: the Jeep Wrangler is not a modern-day Willy's Jeep.

It's more of a car inspired by an interpretation of a descendant of a civilian version of a Willy's MB.

But that's close enough to allow for some heavy marketing from Jeep.

Former President and General Dwight Eisenhower once said that “The Jeep, the Dakota, and the Landing Craft were the three tools that won the war.” And to have your car brand associated with the free world's victory on such an historic scale is a wonderful thing.

So maybe we can let them have this one, and take a look back at the past 75 years of vehicles called "Jeeps."

The 75th anniversary editions will heavily tout a relationship with the Willys MB.

We must start, of course, with the Wrangler: Jeep's flagship model. This is the "Willys Wheeler" edition. Yes, it does come with doors, but owners who never once remove them can be accused of missing the point.

Many sports, such as baseball and volleyball, are known around the world. But not many people know about the more unusual sports — like toe wrestling, for example. 

Although they may seem bizarre, some of these sports are taken pretty seriously. Some odd sports, such as wife carrying, even have World Championships.

These sports may be strange and hard to believe, but that's what makes them so great and hilarious. 

Below are some of the most unusual sports from around the world.

Ostrich racing originated in Africa and eventually made its way over to the US. Ostriches can reach a surprising speed of 43 miles an hour, and their legs can reach up to 16 feet in a single stride. During a game of ostrich racing, people sit on ostriches and race them around a track.

As its name might suggest, chessboxing is a combination of two traditional sports: chess and boxing. The game alternates between serious games of chess and intense rounds of boxing.

Underwater hockey is exactly what it sounds like — a game of hockey, but underwater. It was invented in the UK in 1954.

As of 2016, there 2,188 billionaires across the world, according to a recent report from Hurun, a Shanghai firm that releases yearly rankings and research about the world's richest people.

It turns out that some companies have a higher concentration of the richest of the rich than others. Of course, some of these companies are run by powerful families that have multiple billionaires in their clan, but others are not.

Peyton Manning will announce his retirement on Monday, ending one of the most prolific careers in NFL history.

Manning also retires as the highest-paid player in league history, and it is not even close.

While Manning is one of the best players ever and has an insane work ethic, he has also been a bit lucky to end up with $249 million in career earnings, $61 million more than any other player.

It seems silly in hindsight, but after a successful college career it was not a slam dunk that Peyton Manning was the best player available in the 1998 NFL Draft, as some thought Ryan Leaf was the better choice.

In the end, the Indianapolis Colts made the right decision, drafting Manning and signing him to a six-year, $47.7 million contract with an $11.6 million signing bonus.

Ryan Leaf's rookie contract was worth $13.2 million over six years. He made $12.6 million from that deal and $13.0 million in his career.

Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman have worked closely with each other for 14 seasons on "Mythbusters," but that doesn't mean they were close.

Possibly the biggest myth the duo has busted is the belief that you can't work with someone you don't get along with.

"[Our relationship has] radically changed, but it's also stayed the same. Jamie and I make no bones about the fact that we're not friends," Savage told Business Insider recently, as the Discovery and Science Channel show approaches its series finale.

"We don't get along very well together on a personal level. In 25 years we've known each other, we've never had dinner alone together. We do not choose to hang out if we don't have to be in proximity, and yet, there's a couple of things that happened, and they're pretty remarkable."

Savage said there are several ways he and his cohost have made it work. Some ways came quite naturally, while others took some work.

Here's how Savage said he and Hyneman survived 14 seasons of "Mythbusters," although they don't get along:

SEE ALSO: Discovery's 'MythBusters' has been canceled

The cohosts had a process that worked and believed in it.

"When we're making something together, our brains begin to run on exactly parallel sets of tracks, and there are few other collaborations that I have found as fruitful in the execution of making things," Savage told BI.

"We challenge each other, we push each other to do better, we pick each other's ideas apart, and there's a real integrity to that process, as annoying as it might be on the temporal level."

They respected each other's work ethic.

"You don't have to get along with someone if you respect their work," Savage told BI.

"It's important to respect what their abilities are. Jamie and I might argue back and forth about how to execute something, but the simple fact is that I know by the end of the day that he'd get it done, even if I wasn't there, and he knows the same about me."

They didn't let their egos get in the way of doing the right thing.

"When the right idea shows up in the room, it's point of pride with us, and it's always been a point of pride with us to step out of the way and execute the right idea," Savage said.

"There's nothing I find more boring than arguing with someone because they want to use their idea instead of the right idea. And half the time, we couldn't figure out which one of us came up with the final way to do something."

He added, "Ultimately, the takeaway is we don't have to get along as long as we have our minds and our eyes on the same goal, which is to tell an elegant story about genuinely coming to an answer about a question we're absolutely, honestly curious about."

No job is completely safe or healthy. Even seemingly harmless desk jobs are killing us, thanks to the stressful environment and sedentary nature of many modern-day office gigs.

But some jobs intrinsically pose much greater health risks than others.

Working as a chemical plant operator or nurse, for instance, is far more dangerous and less healthy than working as a college professor or music director.

To rank the least unhealthy jobs in America, we used data from the Occupational Information Network, a US Department of Labor database full of detailed information on occupations.

In order to analyze jobs by their impact on workers' health, we took O*NET measures of six health risks in each of the 974 occupations in its database: exposure to contaminants; exposure to disease and infection; exposure to hazardous conditions; exposure to radiation; risk of minor burns, cuts, bites, and stings; and time spent sitting, since studies show that frequent inactivity shortens your lifespan. O*NET scores these factors on a scale from 0 to 100, with a lower score indicating a smaller health risk.

Women make up more than half of the talent pool. They make their companies more profitable, and having more of them around can lead to better decisions.

It's for these reasons that Betty Spence, president of the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE), says it's so important for companies to move women into top executive positions and create a culture that identifies, promotes, and nurtures the careers of talented women.

"It just makes business sense," she tells Business Insider.

When companies don't have more women at the top, she says that they miss out on the perspectives, expertise, and ideas of a population that makes more than 80% of the buying decisions in this country.

So what companies have already gotten the memo? Working Mother magazine and NAFE teamed up to find out.

To be considered for NAFE's Top Companies list, businesses with at least 1,000 employees and two women on the board of directors filled out a detailed application of more than 200 questions about female representation at all levels in the company.

The 60 highest-ranking companies that made the list boast things like large proportions of women on boards, as top executives, and as senior managers and programs that help women advance.

Here are the top 10 companies for 2016 from the list:

If you're in a situation where you can only have one car and you need it to be able to carry lots of stuff, but you don't want to lose the sensation of speed, you're going to need a truly sporty SUV.

Most consumers might not buy SUVs for speed, but it surely doesn't mean quick SUVs don't exist.

In fact, I hand picked 9 of the fastest ones currently on the market, just for your selection.

Trust me, they're fast.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT can do 0-60 in a rapid 4.8 seconds.

And still tow up to 7,200 lbs.

The Audi SQ7 is the SUV you need if you want to see great fuel economy while still managing 0-60 in 4.8 seconds.

Audi claims that the new diesel SQ7 SUV puts out 429 horsepower yet is also able to achieve up to 32 MPGs. For an SUV of this size with that kind of power output, that's incredible.

Sucked in by marketing ploys to scoop up these "one-of-a-kind" items that could eventually be worth a fortune, many consumers have found themselves with piles of junk in their garages rather than the promised goldmine.

"You have to be really aware of 'phenomenons," Rudy Franchi, an appraiser who has often appeared on PBS' hit show "Antiques Roadhouse," told Business Insider. "People get swept up in a mass craze to collect something ... until it creates a giant bubble that bursts."

Here are 11 such collectible crazes that didn't live up to their potential.

Andy Warhol cookie jars

After pop culture icon Andy Warhol died in the late 80s, friends and family discovered one of his greatest obsessions: antique cookie jars.

The jars turned into hot-sellers at his estate sale, with some fetching as much as $250,000.

But what collectors didn't realize was that their value expired not long after their owner. "I tell people at the roadshow that (the jars) are worth today what they were always worth — about $200," Franchi explained.

80s movie posters

Some vintage movie posters from the early 20th century have been sold for upwards of half a million dollars.

The same can't be said for more modern flicks, thanks to a couple of factors: For one thing, it's easy to recreate posters online, and secondly, theater employees hoarded posters so much in the 80s and 90s that supply began to outweigh demand.

"There's a difference between rarity and scarcity," Franchi said. "Now there's an absolute flood of movie posters from that period. It'll be a long time before they find homes."

Modern baseball cards

The 80s and 90s saw a massive baseball card balloon that made many modern ball cards (post-1970s) basically worthless.

"Manufacturers were coy about how many cards they were printing," Zac Bissonnette, consignment director for Heritage Auctions, told Business Insider. "Once you had eBay — a searchable database of everything everyone wants to sell — it became obvious that stuff that was thought to be rare wasn't rare at all."

Don Mattingly rookie cards used to sell for $50 a pop. Now you can find them for pennies online.
