David Solomon is saying "so long" to Aspen.

The Goldman Sachs president and co-COO is selling his large Colorado estate for $36 million, according to Mansion Global.

Solomon built the home after he bought the property for $4 million in 2005. The 83-acre estate comes with a guest house and incredible views of the Colorado scenery.

Michael Latousek of Douglas Elliman has the listing.

The house sits on 83 acres of pristine Colorado land.

Kellyanne Conway's net worth is higher than you might think. And her recent career climb — from the strategist behind Donald Trump's rise to his campaign manager to his White House counselor — has been closely watched by the media.

But when Conway joined the Trump administration, she and her husband, New York City lawyer George Conway, disclosed assets worth up to $39.3 million. Much of that wealth comes from Kellyanne's political-polling business, which she started in 1995, at the age of 28.

Today, Conway is earning an annual salary of $179,700, according to the Staff Salaries report that was published by the White House on June 30. 

Here's how she has amassed her fortune — and spent it — since graduating law school.

In 1995, at the age of 28, Conway founded The Polling Company. New York magazine reported that Conway quickly recognized "there was money to be made" in advising private corporations and politicians on how women vote.

During the '90s, Conway began making regular TV appearances along with other political commentators like Ann Coulter.

Emma Stone has opened up about the challenges she's gone through to be paid the same wage as her male costars in movies. 

In a revealing interview for Out Magazine — with her costar in her upcoming movie "Battle of the Sexes," Andrea Riseborough, and the tennis icon Stone is playing in the movie, Billie Jean King — the Oscar winner opened up about how some of her male costars have helped her in regards to the pay gap.

"In my career so far, I’ve needed my male costars to take a pay cut so that I may have parity with them," Stone said. "And that’s something they do for me because they feel it’s what’s right and fair. That’s something that’s also not discussed, necessarily — that our getting equal pay is going to require people to selflessly say, 'That’s what’s fair.'"

In Hollywood, successful actors have a quote, which is the amount of money they often will want to be paid per movie, based on the level of past movies they've work on, the size of those roles they've taken, and the box office those movies have made.

Stone admits her quote hasn't been on par with the male actors she's worked across in her career. But, that can change if the male star doesn't ask for their quote.

"If my male costar, who has a higher quote than me but believes we are equal, takes a pay cut so that I can match him, that changes my quote in the future and changes my life," Stone said.

Women have been paid less than men in Hollywood since the moving picture was invented, but it became a public conversation in 2015 after Jennifer Lawrence wrote an open letter about her personal frustration, after learning she was paid less than her male costars for the 2013 movie, "American Hustle." 

Since then, actresses have become more vocal in the need for equal pay. Last November, Jessica Chastain told Business Insider women in all businesses need to be more aggressive when it comes to their pay, and that people need to welcome it.

"We need to reevaluate women who ask for a pay raise or ask for a promotion. It's actually an okay thing," Chastain said. "It's okay to be ambitious, it's okay to be over-prepared."

Stone, who plays King in the movie during her famous tennis match against Bobby Riggs, said in the Out interview that "at our best right now we’re making 80 cents to the dollar," comparing actresses' pay to male stars.

The world's richest people are an impressive bunch. They think, act, and work differently than the rest of us.

Wealth-X, a market research firm, defines the world's richest as those with $30 million or more in assets, also known as ultra-high net worth (UHNW). Its latest report gives us a peek into the makeup of this exclusive group.

In total, Wealth-X tracked 226,450 UHNW individuals with a combined wealth of $27 trillion.

Keep reading for seven facts you probably didn't know about the world's wealthiest people.

The global UHNW population has $9.6 trillion in cash.

Ultra wealthy women are younger, on average.

According to Wealth-X, the average age of the world's UHNW woman is 50, about 12 years younger than the global ultra wealthy population average.

Their average net worth is $110 million, and they command just 12% of global UHNW wealth. Just over half of women received all or some of their fortune from inheritance, compared to one-third of men.

Millennials account for 3.2% of the global UHNW population — and two-thirds are self-made.

Millennials — defined by Wealth-X as people born between 1980 and 1994 — make up 3.2% of the global UHNW population, which is about 7,200 individuals. Two-thirds of this group are self-made, including Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

The Harvard dropout became the youngest self-made billionaire in history at just 23 years old. Today he's worth an estimated $64.7 billion.

According to Wealth-X, UHNW millennials control a total of $334 billion; meaning Zuckerberg is responsible for nearly one-fifth of that wealth.

Billions of people spend a lot of time living their lives on Facebook's social network. Now Facebook wants to try its hand at creating a community in the real world. 

The internet giant wants to build housing, retail stores, a hotel and more at its corporate headquarters — in short, Facebook wants to build its own town.

Facebook unveiled plans on Thursday for the massive new construction project at its Menlo Park, California corporate campus, which is part of Facebook's plans to expand its home base. The 56-acre site, which Facebook bought in 2015 for about $400 million, is located directly across the street from Facebook's headquarters. It will offer 1.6 million square feet of housing, or 1,500 units.

In a blog post announcing the plans, Facebook described the future development as a "mixed-use village" that will provide residents, many of which will be Facebook employees, with housing, transportation services and other amenities. 

"We plan to build 125,000 square feet of new retail space, including a grocery store, pharmacy and additional community-facing retail," Facebook said. 

Here's a picture that Facebook provided showing what it might be like to live in Facebook-ville. 

The new development will also include a hotel, according to the Silicon Valley Business Journal.

It will take roughly a decade to build, according to a person familiar with the plans. The initial phase of the project, which will include the housing and grocery store, will be wrapped up in the first half of 2021. The subsequent phases will be completed every two years, according to a blog post on Facebook's website.

While most of the housing will likely go to Facebook employees, Facebook is opening up the housing to the community at large. The housing will be a mix of market rate and affordable housing units, with 225 units, or 15%, priced below market rate. 

"Part of our vision is to create a neighborhood center that provides long-needed community services," Facebook wrote.

One benefit of having employees live so close to campus is a reduction in the amount of traffic in the area, according to the blog post. 

While Facebook has presented the plans to the City of Menlo Park, they have not yet been approved. The company expects the approval process to take about two years.

Here's a video that Facebook created about its plans:

NOW WATCH: We drove a brand-new Tesla Model X from San Francisco to New York — here's what happened

Imagine a worker heading home from a shift at one of the few factories still open in the center of a big American city.

As he walks down the street outside the factory, he passes a young couple walking to their apartment in the same neighborhood — a warehouse recently converted into lofts — from the center of the city where they work an office job.

All are wearing items made by the same brand of clothing: Carhartt.

In 2017, in an increasingly divided America, it seems unlikely that a brand could sell both durable workwear to blue-collar workers and stylish lifestyle apparel to urban millennials. But in many cities across America, it has become a reality.

Founded in 1889, Carhartt makes durable workwear that has had a steady following for decades. The brand got its start making overalls for railroad workers before creating apparel for workers at automobile factories in the early 1900s. Carhartt created many of its iconic styles at this time, like the chore coat in 1923 and the dungaree in 1932.

It eventually grew to be the de facto apparel supplier for manual laborers, clothing construction workers, factory workers, nurses, and everyone else with a need for durable garments.

But this commitment to durability has also found an unlikely new customer in urban millennials, who see the brand as synonymous with hard work and a shortcut to a kind of "work with your hands" nostalgia.

"Carhartt is a very interesting brand in that it is legitimately workwear" but also could appeal to the "mainstream without losing its authenticity," Deirdre Clemente, a historian studying 20th-century clothing and a professor at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, told Business Insider.

From the factory to the fashion show

The brand has made a conspicuous jump from cornfields to catwalks in recent years, buoyed by the licensing of the Carhartt Work in Progress brand.

Carhartt WIP is a separate company that produces fashion-forward versions of Carhartt's traditional items. It frequently collaborates with the high-fashion houses A.P.C. and Vetements and is even sold by J. Crew.

The brand has given Carhartt fashion chops it never had before, and it's not uncommon to spot the characteristic Carhartt "C" logo on hats and coats in trendier parts of American cities.

Carhartt's recent popularity tracks with the rise of "workwear" — items of clothing made primarily for working, like overalls and chore coats — as a fashion trend. Heritage brands have enjoyed an upswing in recent years, from L.L. Bean's Bean Boots to Levi's jeans. Now even brands like J. Crew — which has its own workwear-inspired line called Wallace & Barnes — have copied the hardworking aesthetic without the heritage component or the reputation for durability.

Carhartt first emerged as a lifestyle brand in the 1980s. It gained cachet in the hip-hop scene after rappers would wear its affordable yet functional items, according to the brand's official history.

From there, Carhartt started to become popular in Europe, which led to the creation of WIP in 1994, which eventually came stateside in 2011. The brands operate independently, but because they use the same iconography they feed off each other and work together closely.

Different designs for different demos

Part of Carhartt's appeal lies in its relative low cost. A chore coat — one of the brand's famous designs — costs $80. WIP's version — spruced up with a corduroy collar — asks about $100 more. It's clear that these two editions of a largely similar jacket are targeted to different audiences.

Carhartt's "cross-demographic appeal," Clemente said, "is based on the actual qualities of the garments — durability being one of the most enduring and sought-after attributes in the American wardrobe."

The brand's "stuff lasts," she added. "Durability has defined the success of many brands in the 20th century."

The value of work

Tony Ambroza, Carhartt's vice president of marketing, says it's not surprising that the brand's ethos carries on beyond the manual laborers for which it was designed.

"We really are focused on folks who do the hard work and believe in the values of hard work," Ambroza told Business Insider. "We're very conscious of the idea that there are folks who grew up in families who may not have the same job that their parents did that was maybe more manual in nature, but they have the values and incredible deep appreciation for the idea of doing and making things yourself."

The nature of work itself has shifted in America: From 1930 to 2000, the share of white-collar workers in the US doubled to 60% from 30%. Still, the way we feel about work hasn't changed: Hard work remains valued.

Carhartt's "association with actual working people has an additional connotation — I work hard enough to demand clothing that can tolerate all of my hard working," Clemente of UNLV said.

Since Carhartt is a stand-in for the idea of work, that enables its appeal to bridge a cultural divide. Putting on a Carhartt garment identifies you with those who value hard work. The garment works as a shorthand for an Americana outlook on the world, which attracts all demographics of wearers.

"We have to assume at some level ... that a lot of folks choose badging" when deciding to wear Carhartt clothing, Ambroza said, alluding to the fact that Carhartt has a certain cachet.

"When something is well made, it appeals to a range of different kinds of people and serves a range of different kinds of purposes," Clemente said.

These days, it's uncommon for one brand to be able to appeal to many different kinds of people while still telling an authentic story. It's clear that the idea that hard work can get you far is still ingrained in the minds of Americans, regardless of where they live and what they do.

NOW WATCH: An Alabama high school 'resegregated' after years of being a model of integration — here's what happened after

A two-week vacation might be twice as long as a one-week vacation, but don't expect to have twice the memories once you get back.

According to psychologist Daniel Kahneman, shorter vacations are typically just as good in hindsight as longer ones.

There's a surprising amount of behavioral science that suggests a vacation can be improved with simple tweaks, such as planning it well in advance and talking about it once you've returned home.

Kahneman has made a career studying the way people's experiences and memory relate to each other. In general, he's found people's psychology can be divided into an "experiencing self" and a "remembering self." The experiencing self lives in the moment. The remembering self looks back on life through the rearview.

Happiness can be defined differently depending on which self you want to cater to most, Kahneman has found.

If you want to maximize the happiness of your experiencing self, plan a lengthy vacation. An extra week of sipping cocktails in the sun will almost certainly keep your stress levels lower than hunching over your keyboard at work.

But if you want to maximize the happiness of your remembering self — mind you, a self that lasts far longer than the fleeting experiencing self — a lengthy vacation makes far less sense.

Human brains tend to remember what's novel, or new. According to Kahneman, if the story of your life doesn't change much over time, you'll be less likely to remember certain details. This is essentially why life flies by even if the days seem to last forever.

When you go on vacation for two weeks instead of one, you most likely aren't "changing the story" enough to create new memories about the experience. Instead, it all eventually blends into one amorphous memory. You might be left with one or two standout moments.

In other words, if you absolutely need to take off for an extended amount of time, you have two options.

You can switch up the vacation dramatically halfway through, so you create new memories for your remembering self. Or you can spend half the time doing something less expensive, like staying at home and avoiding hotel and rental car fees — because in the long run, chances are the money isn't buying much anyway.

Danny Tufaro, a veterinarian based in New York City, explains how to avoid the common mistake of overfeeding your pet. Following is a transcript of the video. 

Overfeeding is a very big problem, especially in urban dogs, urban cats that don’t get that much exercise. Most people feel very, very bad if their animal is hungry when in fact that’s natural, to be hungry. People feel good when they’re hungry and they eat and nourish themselves. Some animals are fed free choice and it just blows everything out of proportion. They’re overweight, they’re more lethargic, they develop a host of other problems only due to the fact that the owner overfeeds.

Your dog or your cat should have a little bit of a waist. We call that a body condition score. A five out of nine is a perfect body condition score where the dog or the cat has sort of an hourglass figure and you can see some of the ribs. Your veterinarian can tell you whether your pet is overweight.

Another very common symptom of overfeeding is the bowel movement is normal in the morning and then during the course of the day it gets very soft. That’s a very, very easy way to determine that you’re overfeeding your pet. And that’s very common, especially with the more caloric, dense diets that are on the market. Different dogs have different activities, different foods have different caloric densities. So you have to try to maintain their weight, maintain they’re stool, and that’s really the way to do it.

About six years ago, I moved to San Francisco — right as the current startup boom kicked off.

Those six years have seen a lot of change in the city, sparking tensions between longtime San Francisco residents and the tech industry.

Those tensions trace their roots back to the San Francisco Bay Area's housing crisis, where people are going to ridiculous lengths to find an affordable place to live, including turning to boats, vans, and even cardboard boxes.

The thing is, San Francisco's housing woes were here before the tech industry rose to prominence here, and they'll be here even if the tech industry withers. And you can blame them on decisions made back in the 1950s and 1960s.

SEE ALSO: I moved to San Francisco right when the startup craze began — here's what it's been like

San Francisco is the second-densest city in the US after New York City, with more than 870,000 people packed into about 47 square miles, giving you about 18,580 people per square mile.

That density, combined with continuous influx of people into San Francisco in recent decades, has led to an epic housing crisis. In 2017, the median house price in San Francisco was over five times higher than the median price nationwide.

High home prices, plus high population density, plus low availability has led to San Francisco becoming the most expensive place in the country to rent an apartment.

President Donald Trump: Be an outsider

During his first commencement address as President of the United States, Donald Trump implored Liberty University graduates to "challenge entrenched interests and failed power structures."

"Remember this: Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy," Trump said. "Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack the same courage to do what is right."

Trump told graduates being called an "outsider" was, in fact, a good sign — "It's the outsiders who change the world," he said.

"The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you must be that you must keep pushing ahead," Trump said.

Mark Zuckerberg: Finding your purpose isn't enough

Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg says it's not enough to simply find your purpose in life — most young people today already instinctively try do do that, he explains.

Instead, he told Harvard's graduating class of 2017 that the challenge for today's 20-somethings is to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.

"Purpose is that feeling that you are part of something bigger than yourself, that you are needed, and that you have something better ahead. Purpose is what creates true happiness," he said.

To help the rest of the world find a sense of purpose, Zuckerberg says young people can do three things:

1. Do great things, no matter how scary this might seem. "The reality is, anything we do will have issues in the future. But that can't keep us from starting," Zuckerberg says.

2. Offer your money and time to help someone out. "Let's give everyone the freedom to pursue their purpose — not only because it's the right thing to do, but because when more people can turn their dreams into something great, we're all better for it," Zuckerberg says.

3. Build community. "We get that our greatest opportunities are now global. We can be the generation that ends poverty, that ends disease. We get that our greatest challenges need global responses too. No country can fight climate change alone or prevent pandemics. Progress now requires coming together not just as cities or nations, but also as a global community," Zuckerberg says.

"I have fun running ALL the Virgin businesses — so a setback is never a bad experience, just a learning curve."

When it comes to grocery stores with cult followings, two legendary chains stand out: Kroger and Wegmans. 

Krogeris famous for its low prices, while fans say that the Wegmans shopping experience is second to none. 

In an effort to determine which grocery brand reigns supreme, Business Insider decided to visit both chains and take stock of what each have to offer. 

Here's how the two grocery stores compare:

Driving up to the Wegmans in Charlottesville, Virginia, it was immediately clear that this wouldn't be a normal shopping trip.

Wegmans is huge. Once we entered the store, however, we realized that it isn't just large — it's a behemoth.

According to the company, locations stock up to 70,000 products. That's a ton, compared to the slightly more than 40,000 products that the average supermarket stocks, according to the Food Marketing Institute.
