Whole grains are an essential part of any diet, providing lots of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber as well as other essential nutrients. 

But which grain is ultimately the best for you?

To find out, we picked out the most common groups of whole grains and measured them in equal servings (cooked half-cup portions for rice and two slices for bread), and ranked them based on their nutrient density, or the amount of good stuff you get for each calorie you eat.

No. 14. Wild Rice

Wild rice is known for its chewy exterior. Although it's a relatively low-calorie grain option, it doesn't have anything particularly outstanding in the nutrients category.

Calories per half cup, cooked: 83

No. 13. Cornmeal, used in cornbread

The nutritional content of cornbread, which uses cornmeal, will of course depend on the recipe you make and the other ingredients that go into making the bread. Cornbread makes the bottom of the list based on its relatively low fiber content, though it is higher in vitamin A and calcium than other grains.

Calories per piece (about 60g): 198

No. 12. Rice

Brown rice, while better than more processed versions of rice, is on the lower end of iron content compared to the other grains on this list. But if you have the choice between white and brown rice, go for the brown: It's higher in vitamin B6 and fiber.

Calories per half cup, cooked: 124

U.S. News & World Report recently named Denver the best place to live in America, beating out hyped-up cities like Austin and Portland.

And it delivers. From a strong job market and low unemployment rate to a thriving restaurant scene, Denver has become a cultural hub. It not only boasts practical perks, such as a low crime rate and good schools, but it has that intangible glow that makes it trendy and desirable.

Here are 14 reasons to consider Denver as your next hometown.

First of all, there are jobs. Strong aerospace, defense, biotech, healthcare, finance, and hospitality sectors create a wealth of positions, both in number and diversity. The city has also become a hotspot for millennials, bringing in fresh talent and energy. Between 2011 and 2014, nearly 3,200 new firms opened in Denver, driving down the unemployment rate and helping add more than 165,000 new jobs.

Sources: U.S. News, Wall Street Journal

Not only are there jobs, but they also pay well. At $53,060 per year, Denver’s average annual salary sits higher than the national average of $47,230.

Denver’s unemployment rate also beats the national average. Only 3.1% of Denver residents are unemployed, compared to 4.9% of all US citizens.

Among the tremendous amount of questions being asked in light of Prince's sudden death on Thursday, many deal with the future of his immense fortune.

After several decades in the entertainment industry, Prince's net worth is estimated at $300 million. For any person, but especially someone as wealthy as the late entertainer, creating a trust or will for when one passes is important.

"The question is, is there some document that says here's where my stuff goes and here is who controls my stuff when I'm gone?" Los Angeles-based attorney Laura Zwicker, a partner at Greenberg Glusker who specializes in clients worth more than $100 million, told Business Insider.

The thing is that entertainers are more likely to avoid making such a plan.

"My experience with people in the music industry is, even more than other people, they think they'll live forever," the estate attorney said. "So, getting them to focus on a plan is really a challenge."

If Prince hadn't created a trust or will, Zwicker told us what we could expect for the distribution of his estate.

"Prince was a careful planner, at least in respect to his music interests," Zwicker said. "That suggests he was a lot more thoughtful and sophisticated than other entertainers. He would seem more likely to have made a will or trust. If he didn't plan, then this can get very messy."

Who has claims on Prince's estate?

Since Prince was not married and had no children and his parents are deceased, his estate would next go to his siblings and their children, followed by other relatives in the absence of a will or trust, according to the office of the Minnesota state attorney general.

Prince had six siblings, two of whom are reportedly dead. Reportedly, his estate would mostly likely go to his sister, Tyka Nelson. The 55-year-old was close to her brother.

Beware the unknown relative: Zwicker said that people claiming to be related to an artist after death happens "all the time. 'Prince is my dad!'"

"Even if you have planned appropriately, those kind of things can happen," Zwicker added. "In a lot of cases, they end up having actual illegitimate kids that nobody really knew about."

What about control over Prince's future earnings?

Celebrities have extra levels of their estate that most others don't have to worry about, such as future earnings. For Prince, that could take place in unlimited ways and result in an endless amount of earnings.

Prince was very protective of his music copyrights. Last year, he pulled his music from Spotify and other services. Also, his videos are very hard to find on YouTube. One of the few places one can find them legally is on Jay Z's Tidal service.

So what's at stake when it comes to his music interests?

Royalties: Not only does Prince have all of the hits he has released, but The Purple One has written hit songs for other artists. For example, Prince wrote Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U," The Bangles' "Manic Monday," and Chaka Khan's "I Feel for You," among many others.

His music vault: Reportedly, Prince has a vault of unreleased songs. Which ones did he consider unfinished? Or did he want them released in a certain way? And just how much should they go for and to whom or to which company?

Licensing: If Prince were alive, would he want one of his songs used in a commercial for zit cream? If he didn't craft a plan, then whoever inherits his estate could license his vast library of songs to any advertiser, streaming-music service, or artist to re-record.

His name and likeness: For celebrities, their physical appearance is worth a fortune. With today's technology, Prince's appearance could still be used in commercials and other artists' music videos in the form of holograms and on product packaging.

"People are using hologram technology in advertising, so he could be in a coke commercial," Zwicker suggested. "His intellectual property is immensely valuable. As we've seen with the Michael Jackson estate, sometimes it's more valuable after death, than it was during their lifetime."

In Robin Williams' case, he left his estate to his foundation and put a 25-year ban on the use of his intellectual property, name, and likeness for publicity after his death.

But if an artist doesn't have a plan, "Everything they stood for could vanish after their death," Zwicker warned.

And then there are other costs of being Prince.

His ex-wives: First, if he was providing payments to one or both of his ex-wives, Mayte Garcia and Manuela Testolini, then whomever inherits his estate would be responsible to continue those payments.

Zwicker said: "If the divorce agreement said, 'I agree to pay my spouse $10,000 for the rest of her life without regard to whether I'm living or not,' then that meant that $10,000 a month would continue to have to be paid. That really depends on what the divorce agreement said."

The government: It seems unfair that one is taxed all their life, and then they're taxed again after they die. But that's reality. Zwicker said that the US government takes about 40% of the estate, which is due nine months from the date of death. Whoever takes over Prince's estate will be responsible for that payment.

Zwicker said:

The Michael Jackson estate really brought this into stark contrast for people because his estate valued his name and likeness and his music catalog at virtually nothing, a couple thousand dollars. The IRS had come in and said, "No, it was worth hundreds of millions of dollars."' So, now they're in tax court with a tax bill that I believe is almost $300 million and there was no planning done for that ... If you don't plan, then somebody will have to sell your music catalog at a bargain-basement price just to pay all the tax on it.

The one way around this estate tax is to leave one's fortune to a charitable organization. For someone as charitable and religious as Prince — he was a devout Jehovah's Witness — there's a chance he planned to support a charitable organization with his estate after death.

"Everybody talks about how much Prince gave back to the community and the Twin Cities, so it's possible that he could've, if he had planned, left money to organizations, not only to his church, but outreach programs in the community that provide music training or something like that," Zwicker suggested.

Money owed to other countries: For the wealthy, this can become quite a problem. In 2012, the French government sued Prince for unpaid taxes on income made there while touring. In cases like that, the person who controls Prince's estate would be responsible to pay those taxes.

And in the case of a death, foreign-estate laws can be very different from US estate laws — especially if you own any assets in that country.

The attorney said:

In the United States, you can leave your estate to anyone you want. There are no rules. But in many European countries, there are what are called forced heirship rules, where your spouse is entitled to this percent of your assets, and your kids are entitled to this percent. And if you don't have a spouse and kids, these are the people who are entitled to share in your assets — even if you have a will.

To say that "Doom" is one of the most important games in history is an understatement. When it came out in 1993, it changed the course of the games industry, ushering in an era of quick and dirty first-person shooters — in fact, before the term "first-person shooter" became popularized, they were simply called "Doom clones."

Despite the importance of the original "Doom," there's no doubt that games have changed a lot since 1993. Given the impending release of the newest "Doom" on May 13, we put together a look back at just how much the visuals of the series have advanced over the past 20 years.

This is what the original "Doom" looked like in 1993:

For comparison's sake, the most popular game console at the time was the Super Nintendo.

And this is what "Doom II" looked like, released one year later:

Great public schools abound in the US, but for some students the less traditional and often-times smaller educational experience offered by charter schools is a better fit.

Charter schools still operate within public school districts, but typically they don't have to follow all of the regulations other schools do, leaving them open to alternative teaching methods and different programs. These schools usually have limited enrollment and may accept students through an application process or lottery system. 

U.S. News & World Report recently released its list of the best high schools in America, gathering data on more than 21,000 public schools across the country. They also separately highlighted the country's top charter schools. 

The ranking looked at graduation rates, college readiness, and how well students at each school performed statistically compared to others in their state. The college readiness score (out of a possible 100) measures which schools produce the best college-level achievement for the highest percentages of students, using AP and IB scores as benchmarks. You can read the full breakdown of the methodology here. 

For parents and students interested in the charter school experience, here are the top-25 schools to consider in the US — each of which also ranks in the U.S. News' top-100 high schools overall.

Jonathan and Drew Scott, stars of the HGTV show "Property Brothers," know some renovations are smarter than others.

"It's often frustrating and unpredictable, but the payoff can be absolutely amazing," they write in their book, "Dream Home: The Property Brothers' Ultimate Guide to Finding & Fixing Your Perfect House." 

Unlike building a home theater or converting your garage into a spare room, there are renovations that will increase your home's functionality, make your home more appealing to future buyers, and give you more enjoyment while you're still there. 

The brothers consider these 10 home renovations to be the ones that give the "best return on investment":

Open floor plan

According to the Property Brothers, having your rooms compartmentalized and boxed in can "cut off the social function of a house"— particularly the kitchen. 

"The only way to bring a feeling of spaciousness to those homes and make them feel bigger is to open them up," they write. 

Storage

"No matter how we try to downsize, we've still got stuff," they write. "And home life is more pleasant if there's a place to put it."

The brothers suggest adding storage in the basement, mudroom, bedrooms, and attic — or all of the above — to make your home a big plus for buyers. 

Modern temperature systems

Having up-to-date, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems go a long way, according to the Property Brothers. Not only will they make your home more comfortable, but they could also lower your monthly utility bills.

It’s great to be smart, but intelligence is a hard thing to pin down. In many cases, how smart people think you are is just as important as how smart you actually are.

“I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow.” -Woodrow Wilson

As it turns out, intelligence only explains about 20% of how you do in life; much of the other 80% comes down to emotional intelligence (EQ).

EQ is a skill that’s so important that 90% of top performers in the workplace have high EQs and people with high EQs make $28,000 more annually than those with low EQs.

The hallmark of emotional intelligence is self-awareness, which involves not just knowing how you are but also how other people perceive you. People with high emotional intelligence are masters of influence — they’re skilled at altering their behavior to make the most of a given situation.

You might not be able to alter your genetics, but there are some proven strategies that can help you appear to be smarter. Some of these strategies seem arbitrary, but research shows they make a massive difference. That makes this good information to have, especially when you need to sway someone to your way of thinking.

SEE ALSO: 5 hobbies that can make you smarter

1. Use a middle initial

John F. Kennedy. Franklin D. Roosevelt. It turns out there might be a reason that so many people who hold a prominent place in history used a middle initial. Not only does using a middle initial enhance your perceived social status, it also boosts expectations of intelligence capacity and performance.

In one study, participants were asked to read and rate Einstein’s essay on the theory of relativity, with authorship being attributed to either David Clark, David F. Clark, David F. P. Clark, or David F. P. R. Clark. Not only did David F. Clark get higher ratings than David Clark, David F. P. R. Clark outdid them all.

In another study, participants were asked to choose team members. For academic competitions, people who used middle initials were selected more frequently than those who didn’t. (It was quite a different story for athletic competitions.) So, if you want a quick perceived IQ boost, start using that middle initial.

2. Make graphs

 Research conducted at Cornell suggests that people are more likely to trust a source if it contains graphs. In one of the Cornell studies, participants read a document on the effectiveness of a new cold medication.

One report contained a graph; the other didn’t. Other than that, they were exactly the same. Still, 96% of the participants who read the report with a graph believed the claims, while only 67% percent of those who read the document without a graph thought the same.

So, next time you create a document, stick in a graph. It doesn’t have to be complex; it just has to be accurate.

3. Skip that drink.

And that’s not just because people tend to do stupid things when they’ve been drinking. A joint study conducted by the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania revealed that merely seeing someone hold a drink is enough to make them seem less intelligent.

It’s not that we assume less intelligent people are more likely to drink; it’s that the perceived correlation between drinking and cognitive impairment is so strong that we assume impairment even if there isn’t any.

For example, although job candidates frequently think that ordering a glass of wine over a dinner interview will make them appear intelligent and worldly, it actually makes them come across as less intelligent and less hirable. There’s even a name for it: the “imbibing idiot bias.”

Cheer up, summer is around the corner. And with that comes a whole lot of blockbusters from Hollywood, plus some comedy and surprising doses of thoughtful drama.

Wedged between the must-see titles like "Captain America: Civil War,""X-Men: Apocalypse," and "Suicide Squad" are Seth Rogen's "Neighbors 2" and the new "Ghostbusters," plus titles for the kids, like "Finding Dory" and "The Secret Life of Pets."

Here we break down 41 (!) movies that should be on your calendar this summer.

About half the population is made up of introverts — those who get their energy from within. Yet, according to PayScale, our world is largely "designed for extroverts"— those who are energized by being around other people. 

"Crucial aspects of career advancement, from networking to public speaking, can feel like insurmountable hurdles for those of us who gather energy from time spent alone,"PayScale says. "However, introverts excel in jobs that reward their unique abilities."

PayScale sifted through its database to find jobs that don't require a great deal of interaction with others. Here are 10 of them:

SEE ALSO: 13 high-paying side jobs for people in their 20s

10. Social media manager

Median annual pay: $46,400

PayScale says:"Introverts don't dislike people, they just get exhausted by constantly being around them. But since social media managers specialize in virtual interaction, their work is perfect for introverts. Social media managers interact with thousands of Twitter followers and Facebook fans without having too many people invade their bubble."

9. Small-engine mechanic

Median annual pay: $30,000

PayScale says:"It's hard to socialize when you have your head buried in an engine, so working as a small-engine mechanic deserves a spot on our list of best careers for introverts. This job requires very little interaction with others, but only pays about $30,000 a year, resulting in it coming in number nine on our list."

8. Forester

Median annual pay: $47,540

PayScale says:"Foresters spend their time communing with nature instead of communicating with crowds, making it the perfect job for an outdoorsy introvert. This job, which is overwhelmingly held by men (92% of foresters are male), involves plenty of time alone while maintaining and studying parks, forests, lakes, and other nature-rich areas."

On Friday, researchers announced that they may have found new evidence of a former Viking settlement in North America. 

The Vikings were a seafaring group from Scandinavia that sailed around the world, raiding and pillaging along the way, about 1,000 years ago.

The discovery of this second site, more than 50 years after the first was uncovered, could ultimately lead to a better understanding of Viking activity in North America.

For more details, check out NOVA's "Vikings Unearthed," a two-hour PBS documentary airing at 9 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, or watch it online.

To make her discovery, Sarah Parcak, a space archaeologist who recently won a $1-million TED prize to start a global project, used satellites to get a look at structures buried beneath the ground's surface. Parcak and her research team provided Business Insider with some of the images from the excavation. Take a look:

The new site is about 300 miles south of the only other known North American Viking site, called L'Anse aux Meadows. The red box around the southwest corner shows the approximate area.

Parcak and her team used satellites to determine possible new sites. "What's amazing about satellites, is that they don't just process the visual part of the light spectrum, but when we process the data, all of a sudden we start seeing really subtle detail — it's just amazing new technology," Parcak said in a NOVA video clip.

Here's what the new site, called Point Rosee, looks like from the western end during the summer.

Unless you're tracking expenses carefully, it can be hard to tell whether your city's cost of living or your own spending habits are the cause of your financial troubles.

Using the 50-30-20 budgeting rule, for example — in which 50 percent of income covers necessities, 30 percent is for discretionary items and 20 percent is saved — you can quickly determine whether your income is sufficient to cover expenses for living in your city. If it isn't, you might have to cut costs or maybe even move.

GoBankingRates conducted a cost-of-living comparison of the 75 most populous U.S. cities, surveying dollar amounts of living expenses including rent, groceries, utilities, transportation and healthcare. This total, which accounts for necessities, was then doubled to find how much money a single person needs to earn in that city to follow a 50-30-20 budget. This study also compares the total amount of income needed to the actual median household income in each city to see if differences in cost of living are matched by differences in pay.

Now in its third generation, the Lexus IS is still kind of an outsider among its peers.

The first generation of this entry level luxury sedan was an important step forward for Lexus. Toyota's luxury division finally had something sporty to offer buyers who tend to shop for the Mercedes C-Class, Audi A4, and BMW 3 Series.

The Bavarian Big Three have held a tight grip on the segment for the better part of two decades.

The proof is on the scoreboard. BMW sold nearly 95,000 new 3 Series cars in 2015 and Mercedes tallied more than 86,000 C-Class models. American challenger, Cadillac punched in with over 63,000 of its ATS cars sold.

Lexus booked about 46,300 of the Lexus IS in 2015. Only Audi did worse with just 29,013 A4s sold — mostly because the newly redesigned 2017 model was about to land stateside.

With the 2016 Lexus IS 200t, the company gives us a smartly engineered sedan with updated drivetrain options that make it a more serious competitor among its rivals, but the IS hasn't quite found its own identity yet. It's not quite sporty, and it's not all that luxurious, either.

Lexus is expected to debut a refreshed IS at the Beijing Auto Show later this month, but we took the current 2016 IS 200t for a spin to see how it measures up.

The current generation's sheet metal was first introduced in 2013. The L-finesse design language definitely got people talking, for better or worse.

Lots of sharp angles and character lines give the car an angry scowl. It's even more pronounced with the F Sport upgrade that's featured on this model, which adds the more aggressive front bumper and spindle-shaped front grille. 

The LED daytime running lamps that underline the headlights resemble darts aiming for that slight kink in the spindle grille

These design elements have migrated throughout the Lexus lineup, including the GS sedan, and the NX and RX crossovers.

It's clear that Lexus designers had a lot to say here

The IS 200t's rear-quarter is significantly toned down compared to everything up front, but the bold lines continue from the bottom corner of the taillights, plunging dramatically down to the lower side sills.

Europe is on the cusp of being torn apart.

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's new report entitled  "Europe stretched to the limit," which details the situations that are causing the greatest stress to Europe, there are seven critical issues that threaten the economic and political stability of the continent.

While the EIU did not list the issues in an order of importance, it did say that one of the gravest risks is the migration crisis in Europe — the worst since World War II. But there are a whole host of problems that Europe is struggling to tackle including the Greek debt crisis and unprecedented monetary policy action.

Britain's referendum on whether the country should stay or leave the European Union — a Brexit — is a major issue for the continent, says the EIU.

In the report, the EIU said:

"If the UK were to vote to leave the EU, it would trigger economic and political turmoil, albeit largely in the short term."

"We already expect the currency to depreciate in the run-up to the referendum, but a vote for Brexit would prompt a sharp renewed sell-off, driven by an assessment of the potential costs involved in leaving the EU. Investors would be concerned that capital and labour flight would impair the economy, undermining the UK’s safe-haven status.

"After the initial shock there would be a gradual return to market stability, but broader investor sentiment would be slow to recover and credit spreads would be wider than before, reflecting higher risks associated with UK borrowers. Uncertainty about the economic outlook would also lead to an increase in precautionary savings and delayed investment decisions, ultimately hurting the pace of economic growth."

However one of the biggest issues is what it could do to the EU.

"One likely response to the UK leaving would be an intensification of efforts to increase supranational political integration, particularly in the euro zone. The risk of this leading to a crisis of EU political legitimacy and to a further surge in support for Eurosceptic parties across member states should not be discounted," added the EIU.

 Greece's economy is still in tatters.

On Friday, Greece agreed to take further measures to prove it is repairing economy and therefore unlock more funds.

However, the EIU says "it is questionable whether any Greek government, of any political complexion, could implement the measures required under the third bail-out programme."

"Grexit would represent a huge political failure for the bloc, with potentially destabilising consequences: the principle of irreversibility would have been shattered," the report added.

Europe has slipped into some unprecedented forms of monetary policy.

Inflation and growth are stuck at low levels in the Eurozone after years of near-zero interest rates.

It's time to get a bit more radical and central banks have talked of using so-called helicopter money– which involves creating new money and giving it directly to people to spend on whatever they want.

The EIU said "a deepening reliance on accommodative monetary policy has been one of the hallmarks of the post-crisis period in Europe."

"There is little evidence that policymakers have either the political will or the capital to begin using fiscal policy and supply-side reforms to bolster the region's still-weak economic recovery."

The richest people in Britain have suffered from the worst fall in fortune since the credit crunch in 2007, according to the Sunday Times Rich List 2016.

The newspaper, which lists the 1,000 wealthiest individuals and families in the UK, said that the commodities market crash has had such a pronounced effect on some of Britain's most wealthy people that they've seen their fortunes crater by over 50% over the last few years. 

Regular rich list member, steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, has seen his wealth crash by around 75% since 2008 — he used to be worth £27.7 billion but now he's worth £7.12 billion. Len Blavatnik, the London-based, Ukrainian-born, US citizen who is the owner of Warner Music Group, dropped from the number one spot this year. And the Queen has failed to make the top 300 for the second consecutive year.

Only those who have significant property investments have seen their fortunes grow due to the housing boom.

Take a look at who made the top 25 spots this year below:

25. Baroness Howard de Walden and family

Net worth:£3.63 billion ($5.22 billion)

Age: 80

The eldest of four daughters of the late Lord Howard de Walden leads the family's property empire, which grew by £400 million in 2014 to 2015. The family controls 90 acres of central London land.

The Sunday Times said that "with central London values holding up well, we value the family's business assets at £3.4 billion ($4.9 billion) and add £230 million ($331.28 million) for other wealth."

24. Denise, John and Peter Coates

Net worth:£3.765 billion ($5.422 billion)

Age: 48, 46, 68

Denise Coates is Britain's richest self-made woman thanks to turning her small betting shop into the world's largest online gambling company — Bet365.

The Sunday Times said that the family mortgaged all their "small chain of pretty rubbish betting shops," as described by Denise, to buy the Bet365 domain name for $25,000 on eBay.

Now, Bet365 is worth at least £3.5 billion.

23. Bruno Schroder

Net worth:£4.06 billion ($5.84 billion)

Age: 83

Schroder and his family own a £3.7 billion ($5.32 billion) stake in City-based asset management group Schroders. He is the great-great-grandson of John Henry Schroder, who cofounded the Schroders businesses in 1804. He is still a non-executive director of the group.

Property prices in Britain keep climbing due to a shortage of supply.

The average house in Britain's capital now costs over £500,000 — and it's still rising. Even flats in "non-prime" areas of London are considered "relatively affordable" at just under £600,000.

Business Insider scoured London property listings to find the most ridiculously overpriced properties on the market, or that have been sold in the last couple of years.

Some of them are tiny, some are miles from central London, and some are uninhabitable. But they've all got one thing in common: they're incredibly expensive for what they are.

Check out the properties below.

This bungalow in Peckham

Price: £950,000

Where: Peckham in Southwark, south east London

The property is a 1950s pre-fabricated bungalow. It's tiny with just three rooms, an unfitted bathroom, and a small kitchen. It also hasn't been lived in since 2002, so it's in need of serious refurbishment.

The property was previously owned by Southwark Council, and cost so much because it is in a so-called "hotspot" for buyers, according to the BBC. It sold in November 2015.

A garden in North London

Price: £1.2 million

Where: Primrose Hill in North London

In July 2015, a 20-metre square garden on Elsworthy Terrace in Primrose Hill was sold at auction for £1.2 million, 12 times the expected price.

It hasn't been confirmed exactly what the buyer plans to do with the garden, but given that no planning permission was attached to the patch of land, building a new home could be tricky. At the time of the sale, one estate agent told Pali that the price represented a "significant price for a piece of lawn."

This 10-foot wide house in East Dulwich

Price: £800,000

Where: East Dulwich, south east London

This house in the SE22 postcode may have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and off-street parking, but at 120 inches wide, it's also narrower than two normal sized people lying side-by-side.

Overall, its has 800-square-feet of space, putting it in the £1,000 per sq/ft bracket. That's generally seen as a benchmark for super expensive properties.

The Sunday Times' annual list of the wealthy people in Britain, which lists the 1,000 wealthiest individuals and families in the UK, ranked the 50 richest people aged 30 and under.

While the older generation is suffering from downturns in fortune due to the commodities markets crash and the volatility in the equity markets, the young people's rich list is a lot more stable. That's because most of their wealth comes from entertainment, endorsements, and sporting areas. There are also some tech success stories.

We took a look at the top 24 spots this year below:

24. Zayn Malik

Net worth:£30 million ($43.2 million)

Age: 23

Malik left the globally successful boyband "One Direction" in March last year, so he missed out on some of the takings from the "On The Road Again" tour.

However, he has already proven over the last year that he is set for incredible fame and fortune as a solo artist after his debut single, "Pillowtalk," went straight to the top of the sales charts in both the UK and the US this month.

23. David Silva

Net worth:£31 million ($44.65 million)

Age: 30

The Manchester City midfielder is worth more than £8 million a year and has endorsement deals with major companies like Adidas.

22 (joint). Louis Tomlinson

Net worth:£33 million ($47.53 million)

Age: 24

Tomlinson is part of the "One Direction" boyband, which has sold 70 million records in five years. The band is currently taking a break until 2017. 

Taking photos of famous people on the red carpet is not as easy as it looks.

Jon Oringer, the founder and CEO of the stock photo agency Shutterstock, found that out recently when he stepped into the role of celebrity photographer, capturing images of Jane Fonda, Anna Wintour, and more at the opening of New York's Tribeca Film Festival on April 13.

The entrepreneur set himself up to the task in the hopes of learning more about the craft, after Shutterstock bought the editorial and celebrity photo agency Rex Features in 2015.

To learn on the job, Oringer went along to the premiere of "The First Monday in May"— a documentary about the making of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2015 exhibition, "China: Through the Looking Glass"— and took photos of famous guests upon their arrival.

Take a look at photos of his experience, from CEO to celebrity photographer, below.

Getting ready to leave for the festival, Jon packed his camera equipment at Shutterstock's New York office, which is located in the iconic Empire State Building.

He was one of many photographers covering the festival. Collectively, the celebrity photographers there contribute more than 60,000 photos to the stock agency each day.

Shutterstock's editorial photographer Stephen Lovekin — who has been capturing celebrity photos for over 20 years — gave Jon some advice on location before the celebrities arrived.

It's a good time to be a Golden State Warriors fan.

After winning the championship last season, the Warriors broke the NBA's regular season wins record this year, winning 73 games and losing only 9. The previous record holder was the 1995-1996 Michael Jordan-era Chicago Bulls. Golden State is the favorite to win it all again this season.

The Warriors' dominant run over the past two years has been a source of great pride for its famously loyal and raucous fans.

But it's also created a lot of new fans among the Silicon Valley techie crowd. 

What many of the bandwagon fans might not know is that the Warriors used to be the league's laughingstock. For years and years.

Here's a look back at the Warriors' tortured past:

The Warriors have been on a good run over the past two seasons. They won the championship last season and set the league's best record this year. Their best player, Steph Curry, will likely win his second straight MVP award.

That's turned a lot of people into Warriors fans. It's not hard to spot someone wearing a Warriors jersey in downtown San Francisco these days. But it was a rare sight just a couple of years ago.

The Warriors' home arena has seen a flood of celebrities and tech bigwigs show up on courtside too. Here's Oracle CEO Larry Ellison — the fifth-richest man in the world — in a suit.

I normally play PC games on my gaming desktop, which is hooked up to my TV in the living room.

But that's not ideal when someone else wants to watch TV.

So to keep playing while others watch TV, I set up my gaming desktop to stream games to my under-powered six-year-old Acer laptop over WiFi, and it was incredibly easy, and free!

This method is designed to work with games on Valve's Steam platform, which is the most popular program for getting PC games.

If you have Steam, here's how to stream games from your main computer to just about any other PC connected to the same WiFi network.

Here's how you do it:

First, open Steam on the computer you normally play games with and select the game you want to stream.

Then open Steam on your old laptop.

If you wanted to know my old Acer's specs:

- 1st generation Core i3 930 processor (we're now on the 6th generation, and there have been huge strides in performance improvements since the 1st-generation).

- 4GB of RAM.

- No graphics card.

I upgraded it to Windows 10, too, but you can use anything from Windows Vista or better.

Notice that instead of "Play," the blue button on Steam running on the old laptop says "Stream." Click it.
