The Caribbean islands are a playground for the rich and famous, so it comes as no surprise that they are also home to some of the world's most expensive real estate. 

International real estate listings database Point2Homes helped us compile a list of the most expensive homes that money can buy in the Caribbean. 

These houses, which cost as much as $125 million, have all of the perks: private beaches, helipads, and multiple infinity swimming pools. 

St. Barts swept the board with four homes in the list of the most expensive properties right now. Keep scrolling to see the most expensive properties in the Caribbean.

Getting to the Hamptons can be a real drag, especially over big holiday weekends like Memorial Day.

Blade, an aviation startup cofounded by former Sony and Warner Music Group exec Rob Wiesenthal and GroupMe cofounder Steve Martocci, aims to make it a little easier on you. 

Blade uses an app to crowdsource flights on helicopters and seaplanes that you can book seats on in an instant. Rather than have you spend hours on a slow train or in a cramped car, Blade's flights promise to get you out to the Hamptons in under 40 minutes. 

Though Blade started out with flights to the Hamptons, which remains its most popular destination, the startup has expanded to offer flights in many weekend getaway spots, including Nantucket, the Jersey Shore, and around different parts of Los Angeles. You can even snag a seat on a helicopter going to one of the New York area airports, a five-minute ride the company calls Blade Bounce.

Tickets range from $494 to $695 for a trip from Manhattan to the Hamptons, Blade's most popular destination. For a few hundred dollars more, you can do a custom charter flight to a destination of your choice, and you can even choose to fly on a faster aircraft if you'd like. A one-way ticket on Blade One, the company's private jet service from New York to Miami, costs about $2,200.

Blade treated us to a trip to the Hamptons on a late summer evening in 2015. Here's how lots of wealthy New Yorkers will be getting out to the Hamptons this summer.

Our journey began in Blade's 34th Street lounge, where we found a comfortable setup of couches and stools along a sleek bar. "You can't beat the on-demand aspect," Jarrett, a Blade customer who works in Manhattan real estate, told me.

Customer experience (or C/X in Blade lingo) representatives Jessica Rooney and Erin Mulcahy were there to help. They're wearing uniforms that were custom designed by Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon just for Blade.

The C/X team has worn several different retro-inspired uniforms. "My inspiration for Blade harkens back to the days when I was a young child and my parents would dress me up to get on a plane," Wiesenthal, Blade's cofounder and CEO, said to Business Insider in 2016.

He added: "It was the golden age of aviation — the '60s to early '70's, the Jack Kennedy, Frank Sinatra era — when getting on a jet plane was a big deal and an adventure. Not everybody did it. And there was always a story attached to it."

You probably have at least three kinds of painkillers in your bathroom medicine cabinet, but they're not all designed to treat the same types of discomfort. While some pain relievers are great at bringing down fevers, others, studies suggest, contain ingredients that are better for reducing the kind of painful swelling linked with muscle soreness or arthritis.

In addition, depending on your medical history and your diet, there may be certain over-the-counter medications that you should avoid. Still, in some cases, any of the medications below may treat all of your symptoms. However, studies suggest some may be better at treating specific types of discomfort.

NOW WATCH: The main differences between Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, and Aspirin summed up

We've seen some bad dress shirts. Don't pretend you haven't as well.

You've seen the guy at the office with the untucked billowy shirt.

You have the friend who still thinks it's okay to wear a dated black, striped dress shirt out to the bar. He is unaware that he looks like a member of Smash Mouth.

Most bad dress shirts fall under the categories of, too big; too wrinkled; wrong color; wrong fit. A bad dress shirt can make you look sloppier, fatter and cheesier than you ever want to look.

So we at Business Insider asked our friend Jessica Cadmus, stylist and founder of site The Wardrobe Whisperer, for her thoughts on dress shirts. 

Surprise, surprise, there are some simple rules — a few things to keep in mind as you're shopping or dressing — that will make picking something out a lot easier and make you look a lot better.

Understand when it's time to (un)tuck

"As a general rule, if the shirt is long enough to cover your bottom, it is meant to be tucked in," Cadmus told us. "Having said that, many shirts are cut shorter these days in order to avoid excess bulk when tucked - these are the shirts that cause confusion. In these instances it's important to listen to the subtle language of the shirt itself... For instance, if the shirt bottom has notches on either side, these indicate its ability to remain untucked (this is a "finishing" detail). "

"Similarly, if the shirt bottom is cut straight across in the front and back, the intention is for the shirt to be left untucked.  If the back is sloped, likely it was meant to be tucked.  If you are unsure, tuck it in.  Better to look overly polished than dumpy."

Do not buy a pattern everyone else is wearing, for the love of God

Remember this?

There's a way to mix patterns without looking crazy

Here are the rules for that:

1 - Mix a large scale pattern with a small scale pattern

2 - Make sure the patterns are in the same or complementary color families

"So, for instance," said Cadmus, "a functional mix would be a navy suit with white window pane pattern (large scale), a solid light pink dress shirt, and a navy tie with small scale white polka dots."

Get the fit correct 

This is for you, billowy shirt in the office guy. Your shirt is too big, bro.

"Dress shirts stand at the core of a man's wardrobe considering, on average, he wears them 5 days per week.  Therefore it's essential to nail the fit. Take the time to have yourself measured by a professional," said Cadmus.

A few pointers she left us with:

• When the neck fits properly, you should be able to get no more than one finger between cloth and neck.
• The shoulder seams should line up with the end of your shoulders. 
• The cuffs, when undone, should land approximately halfway down your hand. 
• And the body should not have excess volume in the chest/torso area, nor excess length. Many shirts now have a small amount of stretch in them which assists with a closer fit.

Do yourself a favor — make sure your shirt's fabric is not sheer

If you don't have time to try a shirt on, test it against your hand, Cadmus suggested.

And yes you must wear an undershirt. She recommends Tommy John "because of the form hugging fit which does not contribute to bulk under a shirt. Incidentally wearing an undershirt also extends the life of your dress shirts because they wick moisture and will take on any stains prior to the fabric of your shirt discoloring. I'd rather replace a t shirt than an actual shirt any day."

Do not wear yellow

Oh yes, please don't.

"Unless your skin is a rich and luxurious color like that of, say, Idris Elba, please do not attempt to wear a yellow shirt," Cadmus said. "Pale skin and a yellow button down screams one thing: I AM AN INTERN WHO ONLY RECENTLY STARTED WEARING GROWN UP CLOTHES."

There's also a debate raging at BI over whether or not dark colors are acceptable. There's something to the argument that you are not Johnny Cash or a cast member on Jersey Shore, and you should dress accordingly. Use your mother's judgment on that one.

There may be wedding bells in the air for LA's newest power couple.

After hints that the supermodel Miranda Kerr would marry Snap CEO Evan Spiegel in May, the New York Post's Page Six reports the two could wed this weekend in a small ceremony with about 30 people at their LA home.

The Australian supermodel started dating the 26-year-old CEO nearly two years ago, and a whirlwind romance followed, which lead to their engagement last year.

Here's how the two powerful stars fell so quickly for each other:

Renovation is expensive, especially when you're renovating a high-end restaurant. Beyond the costs of renovation, every day your restaurant isn't open you're losing money. 

For one of the world's most celebrated chefs, René Redzepi of Copenhagen's infamous Noma restaurant, a planned renovation presented an opportunity. "We just wanted to come to Mexico," Redzepi told Vogue.

And so they did.

With Noma's Copenhagen location closed temporarily, Redzepi and his staff re-located to Tulum, Mexico — a tiny town along Mexico's Caribbean coastline, where Redzepi, his staff, and a group of locals are serving 7,000 meals across the span of a month.

Each of those 7,000 meals comes with a $600 price tag attached (over $750 with tax and services included) — the absurdly high cost of a "hyper-local" tasting menu meal created by Redzepi and co. When the pop-up restaurant, known both as "Noma Mexico" and "Noma Tulum," closes shop on May 28, it'll have grossed over $4.2 million. 

Not too shabby for a one-month pop-up restaurant in a remote region of Mexico! Here's how they did it.

On May 18, I got to attend Bungie's big "Destiny 2" event with my older brother Michael. It was a precious memory I'll never forget.

This is Michael. He's three years older than me, but we're both very similar: We have similar senses of humor, we both have beards — his is black, mine is red — and our voices sound almost identical. We also share many of the same interests, particularly in movies, games, and pop culture. He's always been there for me over the years, in both good times and bad. He's my best friend, and I love him dearly.

But since we live on opposite ends of the country — me in New York, and him in Los Angeles — it hasn't always been easy for us to keep in touch. Thankfully, "Destiny" is a big reason we've stayed connected over the years. And at the "Destiny 2" reveal event, we got to spend a full day geeking out to our favorite video game together. It was just like the old days.

SEE ALSO: Bungie director Luke Smith on 'Destiny 2': Our goal is to 'unhide the fun'

Michael and I both grew up playing a lot of video games together, usually in the basement of our old house in Connecticut. As kids, games were an easy and fun way for us to connect, talk, and work together.

One of my fondest memories was playing the classic Zelda game "Ocarina of Time" with him: He'd be the one actually playing the game, while I'd serve as a form of navigator, keeping track of his goals and looking at physical game guides in case he got stuck. As a young kid, I didn't always feel brave enough to play some games myself, so I was happy to watch him play. (To this day, I still enjoy watching other people play video games, usually on YouTube.)

In our teenage years, Michael and I played lots of "Halo" together. We'd play cooperative missions, but we spent most of our time playing multiplayer matches against each other. We spent countless nights playing on the "Hang 'Em High" arena, with rocket launchers only.

Michael regularly got the drop on me: He was so much better at "Halo" than I was, since he was quick to memorize the layouts of the arenas. He'd usually sneak up on me, jump in the air and shout "Death from above!" right before nuking me with a rocket and cackling with delight. He won almost every match we played, but I still had fun.

Tucked inside New York City's Grand Central Terminal, away from the gazing tourists and hurried passengers, is a commuter's refuge called The Campbell. The newly opened bar and restaurant, run by The Gerber Group, serves classic cocktails in an old-timey space. The decor is an ode to the bar's storied past as a private office to millionaire and railroad executive John Williams Campbell in the 1920s.

Before it became The Campbell, the space was run by Mark Grossich under the name The Campbell Apartment. It was more exclusive, with a dress code and less signage, and the bar was more difficult to find within the massive train station. Under that name, the bar hosted famous guests like President Bill Clinton, George Clooney, and Liam Neeson.  

When The Campbell Apartment's owners lost their lease in 2016, having been outbid by The Gerber Group, Grossich unsuccessfully tried to sue the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the terminal.

Of the reopening, which now includes three separate, easy-to-find bars within Grand Central, Scott Gerber told the New York Times: "We want people to know about it." Ahead, take a look at the gorgeous bar during one of its busiest times: commuter rush hour.

The interior of the main area, called The Campbell Bar, is a New York City landmark, so legally, the Gerber Group couldn't change much. Its massive windows — there since the 1920s — along with its overall thirteenth-century, Florentine-inspired design, have remained.

The hand-painted ceiling has also remained intact, thanks to $2 million renovations done back in 1999.

As a sitting member of the New York Central Railroad Board of Directors, John Campbell used to host parties in the space. His safe is still there, tucked under the fireplace mantle.

Johnsonville, Connecticut, looks straight out of an episode of "Twin Peaks" — old mill included. But unlike the small town on TV, Johnsonville has been abandoned for nearly 20 years.

Located on 62 acres off the Connecticut River, Johnsonville is up for grabs at $1.9 million. An eccentric millionaire with the funds to spare will find green pastures, old-timey buildings, and the former owner's mansion, which is rumored to be haunted by Mr. Johnson himself.

It's now unoccupied, with the exception of a caretaker and a security guard who keeps aspiring ghost hunters and urban explorers from snooping around the grounds. Take a look.

Johnsonville, Connecticut, is the shell of a once booming mill town.

A community rose up around the mill. Homes, a church, a store, and a post office insulated the town from the outside. It's unknown how many people lived in Johnsonville at its peak.

He implores students to read the book, explaining that:

"It is a story of music and genetics in our contemporary age of terror and surveillance. An idiosyncratic retelling of the Orpheus myth, an elderly avant garde composer who feels he has tried and exhausted every possible musical experiment, returns to his first love, biology, and seeks to inscribe a musical score onto the mutating DNA of bacteria. Yup.

"But his efforts are mistaken to be acts of bioterrorism, and so he flees into the 'underworld' of contemporary America, returning also to the various Euridices of his past. Amazing book —and you'll learn a hell of a lot about music, science, politics ... and even about Life!"

High-school students all over the country are putting the finishing touches on their college applications.

While the decision process may appear shrouded in mystery for college hopefuls, admissions officers know the intricacies that take place on campus.

Reddit hosted an AMA, or Ask Me Anything, that featured former Cornell admissions officer Nelson Ureña answering questions about the admissions process in the Ivy League. 

Ureña, now a cofounder of college-mentor-application company Mentorverse, has unique insight into how Ivy League schools sift through tens of thousands of applications and come to a decision on whom to accept or reject.

Here is how Ureña described the admissions process (emphasis added):

"Once a student completes and submits his or her application to Cornell via the Common App, a first-reader sheet is created and farmed out to an admissions officer who acts as a first reader for that student.

The mission of a first reader is to read the application from start to finish to extract the important information from the application and condense it onto a two-sided sheet of paper called the First Reader Sheet.

At the bottom of the first-reader sheet there is a section for recommendation; the first reader gets to circle one of these options: Admit, Deny, Waitlist. (And if it is the early-decision round they can also circle Defer.) This process takes about 15 minutes.

Yes, 15 minutes is a short time to devote to a student who has spent months working on their application, but admissions officers tend to be highly efficient and the process does not end here.

Once the first-reader sheet is completed, it is turned in to the director and a second-reader sheet is created.

The student's file is handed to a second admissions officer who will see the first-reader sheet along with the application.

The second reader spends about 15 minutes looking at the application and the first-reader sheet. (Fifteen minutes is an estimate and can vary from officer to officer.)

This person is often a little more experienced in the particular major/subject area than the first reader. He or she also makes an evaluation about what to do with the application: Admit, Deny, Waitlist. (If it is the early-decision round they can also circle Defer.)

After the first and second reader have reviewed their files, all the assistant and associate directors, along with the director, gather as a committee.

During committee, the director leads a review of all files based on the decisions of the first and second readers. When there is agreement between the first and second reader, the committee will usually agree with the decision of the two readers.

Often the two readers disagree and the officers spend time in conversation about what decision should be made and why."

NOW WATCH: Former Princeton admissions director reveals the biggest mistakes applicants make

Ask a healthy person who has tripped on magic mushrooms what it felt like, and they'll probably tell you they saw sounds or heard colors — the crash-bang of a dropped box took on an aggressive and dark shape, a bright green light seemed to emit a piercing, high-pitched screech.

It doesn't exactly scream "safe place."

Nevertheless, experts say this is one of the reasons magic mushrooms aren't nearly as dangerous as other recreational drugs — this type of experience is not one they'd likely be driven to repeat, making it unlikely to be addictive. Plus the drugs have yet to be linked to an overdose.

A new survey provides some additional support for that idea.

The Global Drug Survey, published Wednesday by the independent British research company, found that of the more than 10,000 people who reported taking magic mushrooms in 2016, just 0.2% of them reported needing emergency medical treatment. That figure is less than a fifth of the rate for alcohol, cocaine, or methamphetamines.

While this sounds promising, it's important to keep in mind that these results are from a survey, essentially a questionnaire in which people are asked about their behaviors. It is not a scientific study — there are no controls or variables, and people's results could be influenced by things like fear about being truthful or how well they remember an event. In other words, there's plenty of room for human error, so these findings should be taken with a grain of salt.

And like any drug, magic mushrooms come with risks, including intense feelings of panic and anxiety that can accompany a psychedelic experience, or "trip."

Still, a growing body of scientific research does suggest that magic mushrooms are safe and, more importantly, could have therapeutic uses for people struggling with mental illness.

The cross-wiring of "seeing sounds" or "hearing colors" is known scientifically as synesthesia, and it may be one example of the underlying mechanism by which the drug works to alleviate some of the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

David Nutt, the director of the neuropsychopharmacology unit in the division of brain sciences at Imperial College London and one of the researchers leading the charge for studying these uses, told Business Insider in January that he believed psilocybin, the main psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms, would be approved as a medical treatment for depression within 10 years.

As for the general safety profile of 'shrooms, Nutt said: "We know it's a safe drug — probably tens of millions of people have used it, and so far as we know, there's never been a death."

Few people on earth are as successful as Mark Zuckerberg.

The Facebook CEO has grown his social network from a Harvard dorm room to nearly 2 billion users over a period of 13 years. With a stated mission to connect the world, Facebook is now working on drones and other methods of bringing internet access to unreached parts of the globe.

Zuckerberg has complete control over Facebook's future, thanks to his majority voting rights. And with a net worth of roughly $63 billion, 33-year-0ld Zuckerberg has joined the ranks of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffet as one of the richest people on earth.

Together with his wife Priscilla Chan, Zuckerberg has committed to give away 99% his wealth before he dies. He's already poured millions into education efforts and has pledged billions more to initiatives like curing the world's diseases.

We've collected the highlights from Zuckerberg's humble beginnings in a New York suburb to becoming one of the most powerful CEOs in the world:

Many men put off buying their first suit.

They often do this out of fear. Fear of not knowing where to go to buy it, of not knowing what to buy, and of not knowing how to get it tailored.

I, myself, at the tender age of 25, just bought my first real suit. I put it off for years because of that same fear, and because I was able to get away with it in today's more casual environments. 

But I couldn't get away with it any longer. It was time to grow up and face my fears.

To my surprise, there wasn't any pain in the process. Truly, the expedience of buying the garment – a navy blue number from Suitsupply — was probably one of the easiest larger purchases I've made.

Suiting startups like Suitsupply, Indochino, and countless others have brought to the masses the expertise and quality usually reserved for the pricier places, fully changing the suit-buying game. While on first glance this seems to be filled with gimmicks (do you really need to be offered a latte while you shop?), it actually completely changes the buying experience in subtle ways so that it's easier to look your best. 

The biggest difference is that the salespeople actually know suits. It's all they do. This isn't the suit section of your local department store trying to move as much stodgy product as possible. These are knowledgeable salespeople hawking high-quality, modern-styled merchandise.

Guys are often anxious because they don't know much about suits before buying their first one. This expertise will put your mind at ease.

Don't know your suit size? Don't stress — they can eyeball it for you, and have you try on two sizes for comparison. Don't know what kind of suit to buy? Explain where you'll be wearing it, and they'll put forth multiple options in a budget you give them. Don't know what kind of tailoring needs to be done? After you purchase the suit, they'll typically suggest some alterations that can be done in a few days (or while you wait) by in-house staff for a small fee.

It helps that the suits themselves are foolproof. There's no garment you could pull or stumble across that isn't modern and on-trend. The selection is carefully curated with an eye for what today's guys are wearing, in cuts and fits that will be most flattering on him.

Since I researched a bit online and in-store, I knew exactly what I wanted when it came time to purchase. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes, including sitting for extensive alterations. If I had know it was as easy as that, I would have done it a long time ago.

The weather is getting warmer, and the smell of people grilling is starting to fill the evening air.

And while that cooking method does produce a delicious, smoky flavor for the meat, it's also potentially increasing your risk of certain kinds of cancer.

In April 2016 , the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) looked at factors that have a relationship to stomach cancer. 

In that report, they found in particular that three factors were linked with a higher-than-average risk of developing stomach cancer: a high body fat percentage, a high alcohol intake, and a high intake of processed meats.

That means that while the average risk for stomach cancer for most people remains fairly low, it may be somewhat higher in people who can check off all of these factors. 

And while the evidence is still limited, some research suggests that grilled or barbecued meats may be especially unhealthy. One reason?

Cooking meat at high temperatures, which is what you do when you grill something, can lead to the formation of substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Cancer Institute, these substances may be carcinogenic; severalstudies have documented this link. 

"Smoking or charring meat also contributes to the formation of PAHs," AICR's head of nutrition Alice Bender said in a 2016 release.

That's not to say though that you have to ditch grilling entirely, just that there are some steps you can take to avoid having your meat on high temperatures for such a long time.

Instead, the AICR suggests:

1. Marinading your meat, which has been linked to less HCA formation during the cooking process.
2. Pre-cooking in the oven or stovetop first before exposing it to flames of the grill.
3. Going lean to avoid charring and flare-ups that occur as the fire burns up fat.
4. Mixing in veggies with smaller cuts of meat for a shorter cooking time.
5. Sticking to grilling fruits and vegetables (those don't produce HCAs).

More than one million adults attend camp each year, looking to relive their childhood memories or experience a summertime tradition for the first time.

While kids' camp attendance has declined in recent years, forcing many organizations to close their cabins and sell off their land, the number of camps for adults has swelled faster than a mosquito bite, according to Grownupcamps.com. There's a camp for every type, from Camp Rosé All Day to the more traditional Camp No Counselors, which appeared on "Shark Tank."

And when campfire s'mores and sing-alongs are mixed with "flip cup" tournaments and a bunch of singles cavorting to DJ music, the result is a rowdy sleepaway camp experience unlike the one you may remember from childhood. In 2014, at the onset of the summer camp for adults boom, I attended Club Getaway in Kent, Connecticut, to see what the buzz is about.

I never went to sleepaway camp as a child. Every June, my lucky classmates left for the Northeast and returned two months later with macramé bracelets, tans, and endless stories about “camp friends.” I felt as if I were missing out on this whole other world.

In 2014, I had the opportunity to attend summer camp for adults, which was a lot like how I imagine kids' summer camp is — except with booze, sex, and gossip.

I spent the weekend at Club Getaway, an all-inclusive sports and adventure resort nestled in the Berkshire Mountains. While the camp hosts corporate retreats, school groups, and kid's camps during the workweek, weekends are reserved for adult programming.

In 2014, over 10,000 adults attended Club Getaway.
