Few things say "you've made it" like owning an island home. But even among those who can afford such a luxury, some islands are much more coveted than others.

In their latest Candy GPS Report, Savills, Candy & Candy, and Deutsche Asset Management ranked the world's top islands for real estate investment by ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) — those with $30 million or more to their names.

The report ranks the islands by the volume of UHNWI property holdings, transportation links to mainland markets, sources of capital and occupiers, tax regime, and real estate prices.

Bermuda, with its large number of billionaire residents, proximity to the east coast of the US, and no income tax, topped the list of "A list" islands. "Most homes are understated, built in the 'Bermuda vernacular' of  painted stone with wooden shutters," the report says. "Tucker’s Town is the area of the island where the ultra-wealthy congregate, enjoying some of the island’s best views and adjacent to the island’s best golf courses."

Where else to the world's super rich drop big money on island properties?

The map below, also from the Candy report, shows islands in various categories, including leisure islands, which are popular for second (and third) homes; relocation islands, for with individuals seeking tax breaks; city-linked islands, which are in commuting distance to metropolitan areas; and "private island hotspots," where millionaires and billionaires buy up "the ultimate trophy asset," according to the report — an island all of their own.

The approval of a controversial but stunning new casino development on Sydney's iconic harbour-front isn't the only new project underway in Australia's biggest city.

There's also a Frank Gehry-designed university building, a now completed building clad in vertical gardens, and two eye-catching proposals from Koichi Takada architects.

Takada hopes to have both his developments completed by late 2016, while Gehry's university building was set for completion later this month. The casino development at Barangaroo is expected to be fully operational by 2019.

By 2020, it seems the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge will have some extra company in the city's sparkling Central Business District.

Sydney By Crown, designed by Takada's firm, is a 25-story $250 million development set for the CBD. 

The rooftop terrace will feature an infinity-edge pool, bar, and garden.

There's a lane-way in between, which will feature more traditional ground-level architecture.

Crown Green Square will be submitted for approval to the city council shortly. The design is based on seamless architectural loops. 

From shops to apartments, the mixed-use design aims to allow a constant flow of pedestrian traffic.

University of Technology Sydney is currently building Frank Gehry's first Australian building.

The crumpled facade contrasts strikingly with many nearby buildings.

One Central Park is the initial stage of a $2 billion mixed use project. The building was recently completed.

Vertical gardens grow up the sides of the buildings, while motorized mirrors direct light to other green areas.

The controversial new Casino Development is around the corner from the Sydney Harbor Bridge. 

From Sydney's west, the curled design will be a striking feature on the skyline.

This new superyacht — called the STAR— doesn't even look like a boat at first glance, but like some sort of strange iceberg floating in the water. 

Which makes sense considering that it was specifically designed to be unlike any other yacht on earth, measuring 433 feet long and almost 200 feet high.

“The inspiration came directly from the stars,” designer Ignor Lobanov told Business Insider. “The profile of the yacht makes a perfect star when reflected in the water.” 

The symmetrical concept vessel from Lobanov was created in collaboration with BMT Group and Alex Malybaev. Their goal was to redefine luxury yachts. 

The initial idea for the STAR came when Malybaev, from FIRMA branding agency, together with Lobanov decided that despite the advances in modern architecture and car design, all yachts looked too much alike. 

The two were fed up with the traditional look of a yacht, and Malybaev drew the first sketch of the STAR on a napkin. “I looked at the sketch and set to work. The idea was so great that I wanted to prove it could become a yacht,” said Lobanov in a press release. 

The STAR has been developed as a private yacht, but could also be the world’s most exclusive floating hotel, as it can host up to 200 day guests and 36 overnight guests. 

It also has a helipad, an underwater viewing deck, and four elevators providing access to the boat's eight decks. 

The incredible vessel has been designed with a maximum speed of 18 knots and over 37,6oo square feet of luxury interior space. The top deck of the yacht will also have a range of visibility of over 20 kilometers and incredible views, according to Lobanov.

The STAR’s incredible technical development features “a symmetrically fore and aft double ended hull form, with all electric architecture and fully azimuthing propulsion,” according to the press release. 

Basically, the STAR will have some incredible features that allow it to rotate easily without the constraints of traditional anchors. 

Lobanov will also collaborate with BMT Nigel Gee for help with naval architecture and technical feasibility. 

“STAR is a tangible view of a 21st century interpretation of art and science,” said James Roy, Yacht Design Director of BMT Nigel Gee, in a press release. “We are fortunate to live in an era where technology makes the delivery of bolder designs more possible — for clients who are adventurous innovators anything is truly possible."

But this remarkable concept will not come cheap. The lavish super yacht will cost around €400 million, or about USD $500 million, Lobanov told Business Insider.

A few weeks ago, I visited Alliance, one of the oldest live-action role-playing (or LARPing) groups in the US, where I met people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who've made LARPing a central part of their lives.

The LARPers included both diehards and the newbies. Every year, Pennsylvania-based Alliance sees around 50 to 100 new faces. According to Todd, a higher-up in Alliance, new players tend to be college-age or recent graduates. These players usually stick around for three or four years before dropping the hobby, but about 10% become “lifers” — people whose dedication can be measured in decades, not years.

For the lifers, LARPing becomes their main social outlet. According to Michael Ventrella, a founder of Alliance, dating is common among LARPers and there have been more than a few weddings of people who met there. Some of the veterans have been around for so long their kids sometimes come to events.

While visiting Alliance, I met players who work in biomedical engineering, tech, insurance, cybersecurity, law, healthcare, and accounting.

Here are few of the people I met:

Joe, Technologist

Joe has played the same character at Alliance for 20 years. He has played in so many different LARP “systems” — from medieval to sci-fi — that “it intimidates other players,” he says. In addition, he participates in Revolutionary War reenactments, playing a drum major in the British Army.

Joe is a character even without his costume, prone to a mischievous smile, a high-pitched cackle, and a sense of humor that amounts to asking yourself constantly, “Is he messing with me?”

He’s coy about his profession, though he says he’s a technologist who works on government contracts in the Washington, DC area. When asked if that means cybersecurity, he shrugs and says, “You could call it that.”

At some LARPs Joe attends, every player is an IT professional with government security clearances. Others are dominated by college students.

Lauren, Safety Professional

When I introduce myself to a woman named Lauren who works at a major tech company, she tells me, “I wear pretty things and hit my fellow nerds.” 

Lauren grew up in Pennsylvania and attended nearby Binghamton University. At college, Lauren was heavily involved with Humans vs. Zombies, a popular live-action game played at colleges across the US. Humans vs Zombies is basically a complicated, weeks-long version of tag that spans an entire campus. It's kind of like entry-level LARP, allowing players to act out a zombie takeover using sock balls, marshmallows, and foam-dart guns.

“Humans vs. Zombies was huge at Binghamton," Lauren says. "Everyone gets involved, even the police. One time, we had a police officer get out of his car and tell us to try to make him a zombie. We were like, 'Should we try? We might get arrested.'”

After college, Lauren met a few guys who told her about Alliance while attending an anime festival in Baltimore.

“Grown men and women fighting in a remote woods … what could go wrong?” Lauren jokes.

In a short time, Lauren was hooked on the game, making fast friends and constructing elaborate characters. She met her boyfriend Colin at Alliance.

Scott and Tim, Insurance Analyst and Warehouse Supervisor

Scott (right) is an insurance analyst who has been playing for nearly 20 years, and Tim is a warehouse supervisor who's been playing for about eight.

Both have arguably nerdy pasts. Scott originally played "Dungeons and Dragons" in high school and college before a cousin introduced him to LARPing. Meanwhile, Tim found out about LARPing from coworkers at a gaming store. He was initially skeptical but quickly got hooked.

“There’s nothing like being in character the whole time. You get fully immersed,” Tim says.

Both Scott and Tim have since convinced their wives to join in on the fun, after years of trying to get them to play games like "Dungeons and Dragons."

“My wife always thought 'Dungeons and Dragons' was really boring," Tim said, "but when she realized what LARPing actually was — playing a part, sneaking around, fighting and trading, having fun — she was like, ‘This is something I could get into.’”

For Scott, Alliance has helped him learn skills he uses every day.

“I’ve learned leadership skills, resource management, and public speaking,” Scott says. “Before I started playing, I hated public speaking, but my character was a Duke. I had to make speeches. Public speaking quickly got way more comfortable.”

Akiva, Graduate Student at Binghamton

Akiva is a graduate student at Binghamton University, studying Healthcare Systems. He’s been playing since his freshman year of college when he helped start the college’s LARPing club. Before he started the LARPing club, he said, he had “the typical nerd background.”

“I played 'World of Warcraft,' 'Dungeons and Dragons,' read sci-fi books, but when I heard about LARPing, I knew I wanted to do it. It’s a chance to play the game in real life,” Akiva says.

Although Akiva has attended Alliance for several years, like many other students, he saves money by being a non-playable character — someone who attends for free in exchange for being a cast member for the game designers.

“Every time I come, people ask me, ‘When are you going to make a character?’ I give them the same answer every time. When I get a job,” Akiva says.

It's expensive to create a character, according to Akiva, who says a costume can cost thousands of dollars.

“You have to buy in-period clothing, armor, nice boots, bracers, greaves, chain mail, weapons, scabbard, belts, pouches. It all adds up.”

The average cost for a small draft beer at NHL games this season is $7.45, according to data collected by Team Marketing Report from each team. That's up just 1.5% from the 2013-14 season when the average price was $7.34.

The New York Rangers still have the most expensive beer in the NHL where the cheapest beer at Madison Square Garden now costs $10.50, up from $9.50 a year ago. At the other end, the Pittsburgh Penguins offer the cheapest beer in the NHL at $5.25.

Of course, not all arenas offer the same sizes. If we consider the size of the beer, the best bang for your buck comes at Washington Capitals games where fans can get a 24-ounce beer for $8.00 or $0.33 per ounce. The worst deal in the NHL is the 12-ounce beer in Winnipeg that will cost fans US$7.36 ($0.61 per ounce).

McDonald's is by no means the most accommodating of fast-food chains to people with special dietary requirements. Many of its restaurants in America and Britain do not even serve a meat-free burger for vegetarians. But in a week-long trial ending on October 21st, the chain’s British outlets offered a new burger whose fillings did not contain gluten, an allergen commonly found in wheat, with a view to making the new product a permanent addition to its menu. 

Shops have reshuffled their shelves and restaurants rewritten their menus to keep up with demand.

At first, that may seem to be an odd decision. Vegetarians outnumber those who avoid gluten. But the food industry is finding that there is no longer much money to be made in making meat-free products. Sales of alternatives to meat have flattened in America in real terms since 2008; in Britain they have plunged by a third.

Consumer demand for products without gluten, however, is rising rapidly. Health-conscious Americans were first to avoid it in significant numbers. Sales of gluten-free food and drink there have surged from $5.4 billion to $8.8 billion over the past two years, according to Mintel, a market-research firm. They are set to grow a further 20% by 2015.

Europe is now quickly catching up: there is double-digit sales growth in most countries, with Britain leading the way. This makes for tasty business. Sales in America of food untainted by gluten are forecast to grow by a further 61% by 2017, with similar increases expected in other rich countries.

Shops have reshuffled their shelves and restaurants rewritten their menus to keep up with demand. Big supermarkets have been slimming down their range of vegetarian products and are stocking more gluten-free lines. Even small convenience stores in remote parts of rural Ireland and Italy now stock ranges of gluten-free bread and cakes.

Restaurants, in particular, have rushed to launch menus that banish the stuff. The number of options that leave out gluten in British restaurants has tripled since 2011, says Emma Read at Horizons, a data firm. That is less because restaurateurs fear losing bookings from diners who want to avoid gluten, but more that they worry that their family and friends will not come along either.

Yet some retail analysts fret that the wheat-free bubble will eventually burst, as it already has for meat substitutes. Many doctors say that only a few of the one-in-ten households that now regularly buy such products have a member with coeliac disease and a medical need to avoid gluten.

But research from Monash University published last year shows that many more people may be sensitive to other allergens that are found in wheat. And according to a survey by Kantar, a research firm, only 22% of people who buy gluten-free food say they do so for non-medical reasons. This could be one foodie trend that turns out to be much more than a fad.

Like many other big tech companies in Silicon Valley, Apple is known for serving its employees some pretty amazing food.

In addition to its main cafeteria — which is open to the public — Apple operates a number of smaller, more exclusive, cafes near its Infinite Loop campus.

In June, the company opened a gorgeous new cafeteria designed by Foster + Partners, the architectural firm behind Apple's upcoming "spaceship" headquarters. 

The new building is located at the corner of Bandley and Alves Drive in Cupertino. It's gorgeous, with lots of steel-and-glass details that are reminiscent of an Apple store. Only Apple employees are allowed in here.

The new Caffe Macs at Alves opened in Cupertino in June 2014.

For two decades, Singita lodges have been a destination for the world's wealthy to experience an African safari in the lap of luxury.

So naturally Wall Street has taken notice.

With 12 different safari experiences at five lodges/camps over half a million acres in four countries  — South Africa, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Mozambique —  Singita promises equal parts adventure, relaxation and cultural experience.

One high-powered hedge fund manager told Business Insider its Pushamana Lodge in Zimbabwe was the nicest place he'd ever stayed.

That's saying something.

"Our guests are looking for exclusivity on many different levels," says Jason Trollip, Tourism Executive at Singita. In addition to world-class cuisine, he says, the lodge offers "exclusive access to some of the most pristine areas of land without bumping into other vehicles or feeling rushed at animal sightings." It's also known for its extensive learning and conservation programs.

This is what your day looks like when you're on safari: You wake up at sunrise, eat breakfast, pile into a vehicle and head to the bush with your guide. That's when the show starts. Depending on which camp they're visiting, guests can spot elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, crocodiles, hippos, monkeys, buffalo, and more. Sometimes they're in herds.

Leapords play at the Singita Sabi Sand

Singita Grumeti in Tanzania offers a safari on horseback for seasoned riders. For eight days it's just you, your guide and your horse — with daily stops at Singita's luxury lodges along the way. The wild animals have gotten so accustomed to seeing horses around that riders can get extra close.

Of course, all of the nature comes at a price. A five-bedroom tent at villa at the luxurious Pushumana Lodge will cost you over $8,200 per night. For a plain old double suite, each adult needs to shell out $1,800 per night.

Compared to Singita's South African camps, though, that's not so steep. A family suite at the Singita Sabi Sand costs $36,500 per night for 1-3 people.

Wildebeests wade in the river at Singita

Increasingly, the safari vacation is becoming a popular yin to the urban-dweller's constant yang. Companies like Wilderness Safaris send clients to quiet retreats from Namibi to Seychelles, Zambia to the Congo. After coming back from camps like DumaTau and Chitabe in Botswana, high-powered New Yorkers tell Business Insider they feel like the ringing in their ears has been silenced.

So more and more of the jet set are getting out of their comfort zones and into Africa.

Well-known hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson has his own bond with Africa. He lived for 3 years in Tanzania as his father worked in developing and running education programs. Last year, Tilson amused many in Wall Street circles by sending out a mass email asking if anyone wanted to rent his parents' beach home in Kenya — $500 per adult per night, during the holidays. It includes access to "deep sea fishing, swimming with dolphins and dhow cruises," according to Tilson's parents' website.

Increasingly, luxury vacations are about customizations. Singita is no different. Guests can build the experience they want, including going on safari by hot air balloon.

"Spotting a pride of lions or some cheetah from the balloon is a treat! Low flying over the tree tops is an incredible experience, as you can almost touch the earth, and its creatures below," Singita's Trollip says.

A lot of guests head to Singita because they're interested in conservation. They go through education programs on wildlife, sustainability and protecting animals from poachers.

Others like to go into local villages and check out how Singita supports communities through The Singita Community Development Trust. Over the years the trust has worked with governments to create a wide variety of programs. 

At the Castleton Camps in South Africa, the Trust has established the 'Growing To Read' program. It helps local teachers hone their skills in the classroom. The Singita School of Cooking, at the Kruger National Park lodges in South Africa, is a competitive program that prepares eight to ten for a career in the culinary arts. Singita also has an environmental education centre for local kids at its Sasaskwa and Faru Faru lodges in Tanzania. 

"Africa changes every day, and it changes you," Trollip told Business Insider. "Having access to this luxury of space resonates with our guests who are seeking meaningful, life-changing experiences rather than just a vacation."

There are 2,325 billionaires on the earth.

And they control 4% of the world's wealth.

According to a new report from the research firm Wealth-X, about 13% of billionaires inherited their fortune, 27% became billionaires from re-investing inherited wealth, and a full 60% of billionaires made their money themselves.

Let's drill into how they made all that cash. 

"Opportunities for significant wealth gains can be found across most, if not all industries," the report reads, "but certain industries have been particularly important sources of billionaire wealth generation." 

Here are the top five: 

Unsurprisingly, most billionaires make their dough in finance. 

The fascinating trend here is just how much wealth industrial conglomerates are creating, which Wealth-X chalks up to globalization. 

"Billionaires are increasingly gravitating towards diversified business ventures such as industrial conglomerates, especially in emerging markets," the reports says. "For Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the largest proportion of new billionaires made their fortunes in industrial conglomerates." 

The takeaway: If you want to achieve ridiculous wealth, go to Wall Street — or the developing world. 

And attending one of these schools can't hurt, either.

Everyone's talking about Banksy yet again, after the celebrated graffitist's clever rendition of Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring" on the side of a building.

If you're struggling to understand what Banksy is about, consider this image of his 2010 work on the side of a building in San Francisco's Mission District:

Arguably one of his most important works, "This'll look nice when framed" ironically points to Banksy's philosophy that art can exist outside of traditional venues like museums, galleries, or displays in people's homes. It can be found anywhere in our busy world.  In the photograph above, two people are relaxing on the roof beside Banky's stencil. As far as we can tell, they just happened to end up next to this work of art, rather than going out of their way to view art in a formal setting.

The stencil's punchline is that it's not for sale. It will never look nice in a frame because it cannot be framed. 

In further irony, however, even this stencil has been manufactured into prints that people have put up for sale.

Live-action role-playing (or LARPing) was born on the fringes of American pop culture, a descendant of much-maligned hobbies like Dungeons and Dragons and other table games. 

In LARPing, players spend their weekend dressing up in costumes, adopting elaborate personae, and inhabiting a complex imagined world. 

The hobby, like most of "nerd" culture, has become increasingly mainstream.

Across the US, Canada, and Europe, LARPing groups are everywhere. There are more than 30 LARPing organizations in the US, each of which has tens of chapters and thousands of members.

A few weeks ago, we visited Alliance, one of the oldest live-action-role-playing groups in the country, in central Pennsylvania, to figure out what LARPing is all about.

Faire Play, Alliance's headquarters, is a massive barn in Central Pennsylvania. We arrived early Saturday morning just as the LARPers at Alliance were waking up. The players were shaking off a long night. Most had arrived in costume on Friday night and played until nearly dawn.

Most of the players were filing into the "tavern," a large room built into the center of the barn. Everyone was waiting in line for eggs, bacon, pancakes, and coffee. Players pay $60 to spend the weekend at Alliance, which covers lodging and meals.

The Alliance headquarters is located on a sprawling 42-acre property. In addition to the tavern, the central barn has bedrooms for players and a backroom full of costumes, weapons, and other assorted LARPing detritus. The back lawn serves as the main battleground and is sprinkled with cabins for players to sleep in.

Curtis Lee first got the idea for his valet parking app, Luxe, while he was running late for a dinner reservation looking for a parking spot in San Francisco — a city notorious for its lack of parking.

Lee and his then-girlfriend (now-wife) circled the block for half an hour and almost missed their reservation entirely. Lee was so angry, he started sketching out early ideas for the company right there at the restaurant.

Luxe, which launched Thursday, is a valet parking app that's almost too good to be true. Before you leave your house, you plug in the address you're going to. The app tracks you as you make your way to your destination, and about 10 minutes before you get there, it matches you with a Luxe valet attendant.

Dressed in a bright blue jacket, your attendant meets you at your destination, hops into your car, and asks when you'll need it back and if you want them to run your car through a car wash or to fill your tank up with gas. Then they take your car to one of several lots in the city that Luxe has struck deals with.

Ten minutes before you're ready to leave, you use the app to request the valet to bring your car wherever you are. The most surprising thing about the app is that it costs $5 an hour, or $15 a day. That's ridiculously less expensive than other services. A competitor in this same space, ValetAnywhere, charges $6 an hour, and up to $42 a day, the Wall Street Journal notes. And that's only available in New York City.

The parking situation in San Francisco is so dire that apps have been created specifically to let people auction off their parking spots, and the San Francisco City Attorney has had to make a statement declaring such auctions illegal. But since so many people commute into San Francisco, they don't have the option of forgoing cars altogether and hailing an Uber or Lyft to get to work, or to wherever else they want to go.

There are a couple of drawbacks that Luxe will surely straighten out as it grows. It's only available in San Francisco for now, though the company says it plans to expand to other cities. And the app is only available on iOS.

Lee, the CEO and cofounder of Luxe, was most recently the Entrepreneur in Residence at Lightspeed Venture Partners, where he met his cofounder Craig Martin and started developing Luxe a year and a half ago.

Lee previously had stints at Groupon, Zynga, Google, and Skype. Martin and Lee brought their COO from Lightspeed, Greg Zanghi, on board. Zanghi had also built Tesla's operations group from the ground up.

On Thursday, Luxe announced its first round of fundraising: $5.5 million from Google Ventures, Sherpa Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Upfront Ventures, Foundation Capital, BoxGroup, Slow Ventures, Data Collective, Eniac Ventures, and Rothenberg Ventures.
