For students with the travel bug, a college's study abroad program can make or break where they decide to go to school. But before students can jet off to their country of choice, they need to find a program that is the right fit for them. 

The Princeton Review recently released its 2017 college rankings, which included a list of the 20 most popular study abroad programsin the US.

To create the ranking, The Princeton Review asked 143,000 students at 381 schools "How popular is studying abroad at your school?" Students responded on a five-point scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree."

Read on to learn why these colleges have the most popular study abroad programs.

When choosing a career, it's important to seek out jobs that are meaningful and challenging.

But a high salary doesn't hurt, either.

US News & World Report recently released its 2017 Best Jobs rankings, which determines the best occupations in the US based on median salary, employment rate, growth, job prospects, stress level, and work-life balance. You can read more about the methodology here.

The publication then ranked these coveted positions by pay, finding that, unsurprisingly, many of America's top jobs come with six-figure salaries. Positions in the healthcare sector dominated the list, with anesthesiologists claiming the top spot, followed by surgeons and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

Read on to see the 20 best high-paying jobs in the US, with salary data and projected job growth included from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics:

Average annual salary: $119,270

Projected growth (2014 to 2024): 3%

19. Business-operations manager

Average annual salary: $119,460

Projected growth (2014 to 2024): 7%

18. Sales manager

Average annual salary: $130,400

Projected growth (2014 to 2024): 5%

Sales managers get their company's product into customers' hands. This requires managers to establish client relationships and sales territory, guide sales teams, develop training programs for new hires, outline team strategies, and set short- and long-term goals.

Sales managers typically hold either a bachelor's or master's degree in business administration and have expertise in marketing.

When deciding where to put down roots, many factors rest in the eye of the beholder, such as climate, politics, or proximity to extended family.

Other aspects are coveted by nearly everybody: affordable housing, access to well-paying jobs, a low cost of living, good schools, and quality healthcare. In its 2017 ranking of the best places to live in America, U.S. News & World Report gathered data on these crucial components for the 100 most populous US cities.

They then categorized the data into five indexes for each city — job market, value, quality of life, desirability, and net migration — to definitively rank these major metro areas. You can read U.S. News' full methodology here.

Scores for "value," a blend of annual household income and cost of living, and "quality of life," which accounts for crime, college readiness, commute, and other factors, are included below on a 10-point scale, as well as the city’s population and average annual salary.

It is a boom time for billionaires, according to this year’s Sunday Times Rich List.

The 29th Sunday Times Rich List, which lists the 1,000 wealthiest individuals and families in the UK, revealed that "this year’s 500 richest individuals and families are now wealthier than the entire top 1,000 were in 2016."

Those who saw their fortunes soar were mainly those making money out of the City, those holding huge property portfolios, or people who were involved in manufacturing. This year though, it the top of the list saw some huge gains in individual fortunes. For example, the Lakshmi family, which owns the largest steel maker in the world ArcelorMittal, saw their wealth grow by £6.1 billion in just one year.

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

25. Joe Lewis

Net worth: £4.601 billion

Age: 80

Lewis initially made his his fortune in the hospitality business but now is incredibly rich due to his investment in Tavistock — an operation which has interests in more than 200 companies. He own four yachts and the latest 320 feet one is "more than an office – it's also my home for much of the year," he said to The Sunday Times.

He also has a huge art collection, which includes works by Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, and owns Tottenham Hotspur football club.

24. Christo Wiese

Net worth: £4.62 billion

Age: 75

South African retail mogul Christo Wiese was a newcomer to The Sunday Times Rich List last year, thanks to his range of investments in retail and property.

His active-property portfolio is alone worth £80 million and he has large stakes in seven publicly traded companies. He is also the largest single shareholder in Africa’s biggest retailer, Shoprite, and in 2015 he bought the New Look fashion chain in Britain.

23. Sir Richard Branson

Net worth: £4.865 billion

Age: 66

Branson is Britain's poster child for entrepreneurship. He built his Virgin empire, which comprises 400 companies, from the age of 16. His group now does everything from mobiles to banking to aviation and even, potentially, space travel. He's known for his sense of humour and once pulled an extreme April Fools' Day prank on a coworker — and got arrested.

Kirsty Bertarelli was just named Britain's richest woman again, according to the 2017 Sunday Times Rich List.

And as a multibillionaire she lives an enviably incredible life.

Her fortune is so vast that it eclipses that of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and the Queen combined at £1.01 billion. Bertarelli's net worth is now at £11.5 billion, according to the Sunday Times Rich List 2017.

She became Miss UK as a teenager, an accomplished music writer in her 20s, and then in her 30s she became the wife and the mother of three children with Switzerland's richest man, Ernesto Bertarelli, who sold his family's pharmaceuticals firm Serono for £9 billion to Merck in 2007.

Now in her 40s, she is trying to take the world by storm with her singing. She has already supported Simply Red's Mick Hucknall in concert and performed for the prince and princess of Monaco.

Through interviews from The Telegraph,the Mirror, and her website, as well as pictures from her Instagram, we've put together the fairytale that is Kirsty Bertarelli's life.

Kirsty Bertarelli, née Roper, was born in Stone, Staffordshire, on June 30, 1971.

But her tale isn't a "rags to riches" story. Her father, along with her uncles, owned one of the world's largest manufacturers of ceramics, Churchill China.

Great music can be found all across these United States. And every state has a famous band that hails from it.

To determine the most famous band from every state, Business Insider looked at reputation, record sales, and awards, considering each band within its own era, so just because a band is popular now doesn't mean it's nudged out the biggest band from another decade.

We stuck to bands only — no solo artists here — but used the term "band" loosely, including any musical act consisting of more than one person. We focused mostly on the state where each band originally formed, but also considered where their music was popularized, as well as artists' hometowns.

Check out which band is making your state proud.

ALABAMA: Alabama

One of the most successful bands of all time, Alabama has sold over 73 million records and has seven multiplatinum albums and two Grammys. The band sold more records during the '80s than any other band. Not only is their success impressive by any measure, but they also did a lot to make country music popular in the mainstream.

ALASKA: Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man released their debut album, "Waiter: You Vultures!" in 2006 and booked their first headlining tour the next year. The rock band released three more albums — including breakout record "The Satanic Satanist"— before signing with Atlantic Records in 2009. Danger Mouse, known for working with artists like Beck and The Black Keys, produced Portugal. The Man's 2013 album, "Evil Friends."

ARIZONA: Alice Cooper

The first of the many shock-rock bands of the '70s, Alice Cooper kept fans entranced with their gender-bending outfits and dark onstage theatrics — concert-goers could expect performances to include stunts like Cooper's faux-beheading via guillotine. But it's the music that kept fans coming back for more, and their riff-heavy brand of hard rock produced a string of hits including "School's Out" and "Be My Lover." Alice Cooper was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011.

There are people who are proud to be American, and then there are cities that bust out the red, white, and blue like it's nobody's business.

To celebrate the Fourth of July, we found the most patriotic cities in the US.

We based this list of several criteria, including the percentage of people who are veterans — according to the 2012 American Community Survey— and the percentage of residents 18 and over who voted in the 2012 presidential election. Personal finance site Wallet Hub releases an annual ranking of the best places to celebrate the Fourth, which we also considered.

Virginia Beach, Virginia

Virginia is for lovers, veterans, and government employees — with more than 150,000 people working for the government in some capacity. On the national holiday, residents of Virginia Beach head to the shoreline to enjoy a concert from the Quantico Marine Corps Band's Concert Band and Rock Band, food, and fireworks.

St. Louis, Missouri

St. Louis bills its annual Fourth of July festivities as "America's Biggest Birthday Party"— and it's only a slight exaggeration. Forest Park, the grounds that once hosted the 1905 World Fair, host a music festival — which this year features Akon, 3 Doors Down, and country superstar Jake Owen — as well as fireworks displays and air shows.

Omaha, Nebraska

Fireworks enthusiasts flock to Omaha each year for the seven fireworks displays spread between July 1 and 4. This year, the largest city in Nebraska hosts Kool & the Gang for its concert and fireworks spectacular at Memorial Park. Locals can also catch a historical reenactment at the 19th-century military fort or partake in patriotic-themed activities at the Omaha Children's Museum.

At Business Insider, we have interviewed hundreds of job applicants.

We are usually impressed with the calibre of candidates. Most people we meet seem smart and accomplished, and applicants "get" our all-digital, fast-paced, anti-boring way of handling business news.

But ... young people are human, too. They make mistakes.

What follows are all real-life errors committed by people who wanted to work at Business Insider.

24. You want a job with us but you don't read Business Insider ...

"So, what do you like most about Business Insider?""Er..."

This is one of the most common, and most baffling, mistakes: When it becomes clear that a promising candidate has not actually looked at our site recently. We're hiring people who want to workwith us, not people who just need a job.

Tip: Read the site on the morning of your interview and take a couple of notes so you can show us you're well-informed.

23. Showing up 20 minutes early.

It may seem like a good idea to show up early, but it puts pressure on the interviewer to meet with you. A time was set for a reason. You should never be late, but five minutes is enough for showing up in advance.

Tip: Find a nearby coffee spot and hang out there until your interview time. 

22. Being too general.

You have one shot to demonstrate your knowledge and skills — so be as specific as you can when answering questions. Don't answer questions with "yes" or "no." The interviewer shouldn't have to feel as if he or she is carrying the conversation.

Tip: Review the projects you're most proud of before heading into an interview. It's easy to forget the details even if it's your own work. 

Attending a top private high school provides a solid academic foundation, helps students gain entrance into first-rate colleges, and prepares them for the challenges of the real world.

Niche, a company that researches and compiles information on schools, released its newest rankings of the best private high schools in the country.

The ranking looked at nearly 3,500 private high schools across the US, rating a number of factors including SAT and ACT scores, graduation rate, school culture and diversity, and college enrollment. You can read the full breakdown of the methodology here.

Below Business Insider has included each school's location, student body population, annual tuition, and because each school scored incredibly high on Niche's metrics, the category where the private school scored lowest.

Walmart heiress Alice Walton briefly held the title of "richest woman in the world" Thursday. 

With the death of the French heiress of cosmetics giant L'Oreal Liliane Bettencourt, Walton went from the second-richest to the richest woman on the planet.

But on Friday, Bettencourt's daughter, Françoise Bettencourt-Meyers, saw her net worth skyrocket to $42.3 billion, making her the wealthiest woman in the world, Bloomberg reported. 

Prior to her death, Bettencourt was the 15th richest person in the world, while Walton was No. 19.

Walton is now the second-richest woman in the world, and the richest woman in America.

With an estimated net worth of $38.4 billion, Walton is a member of one of the richest families in the world. 

Alice, along with older brothers Jim and Rob — who also graced the list, produced with Wealth-X, a company that conducts research on the superwealthy— have a combined net worth of $101.5 billion, thanks primarily to their stake in retail giant Walmart.

Unlike her brothers, 66-year-old Walton never took an active role in running the retail empire her father started in 1962, though she's still managed to become the target of pushback from minimum-wage Walmart employees who view her highfalutin lifestyle as insensitive and ignorant to the plight of many workers.

Instead of spending time at Walmart, Walton became a patron of the arts at a young age. When she was just 10 years old, Walton saved up her allowance to buy a reproduction of Picasso's "Blue Nude," she told The New Yorker.

"Collecting has been such a joy, and such an important part of my life in terms of seeing art, and loving it,” she said.

She began buying watercolor pieces in the 1970s and adorning the walls of her Rocking W Ranch with them. From there she moved on to more serious original works, particularly those by classic American artists; her immense personal collection now includes pieces from Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell, and Georgia O'Keefe, among others.

In 2011, she opened the $50 million Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas to house her $500 million collection. When it opened, Crystal Bridges already had four times the endowment of the famous Whitney Museum in New York.

Before delving into the art realm, Walton made a brief career as an equity analyst and even founded her own investment bank, Llama Company, in 1988. The company closed about 10 years later, shortly after Walton was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (not for the first time).

Twice divorced with no children, Walton is also a lover of horses, which she breeds at Rocking W Ranch, located in Texas, and rides competitively. The 1,456-acre ranch, however, is currently for sale for nearly $20 million.

NOW WATCH: Here’s where the 20 richest people in America live

Swedish business magnate Ingvar Kamprad had been at the helm of IKEA, one of the world's largest furniture stores and most beloved brands, for more than 70 years when his death was announced Sunday. 

With a net worth of $48.1 billion at its height, he was one of the world's richest self-made billionaires.

If you ask Malcolm Gladwell, whose books have been read by millions of people, Kamprad succeeded thanks to an often-unpopular personality trait: disagreeableness, and not caring if people thought he was crazy. 

From humble beginnings selling holiday tchotchkes to his neighbors as a child, here's how Kamprad started a privately held $11.8 billion furniture revolution and became a billionaire.

SEE ALSO: The 25 richest self-made billionaires

SEE ALSO: Ikea's Strategy For Becoming The World's Most Successful Retailer

Kamprad was born in the south of Sweden in 1926 and by the age of 5 began selling matches for profit. At 10, he rode his bike around the neighborhood to sell Christmas decorations, fish, and pencils.

Source: Business Insider, Sweden.se

In his teens, Kamprad became involved in a Nazi youth movement by the influence of his German grandmother, who was "a great admirer of Hitler." He later described that time as "the greatest mistake of my life" and even penned a letter to his employees asking their forgiveness.

Source: Telegraph, Fortune

When Kamprad was 17, his dad gave him a cash reward for making good grades in school despite his dyslexia. He used the money to found IKEA in 1943. Kamprad didn't introduce furniture until five years in; he'd started by selling small household items, like picture frames.

Moviegoing has been one of America's favorite ways to kill time for about a century now, and box-office earnings have been a reliable predictor of what we love and, sometimes, continue to love.

Using lists of the highest-grossing films by year from IMDb, Box Office Mojo, and The Numbers, Business Insider has compiled a chronology of the biggest box-office hits every year since 1930*.

We adjusted global box-office receipts for inflation through 2017 using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculator. We've also included critic ratings from Metacritic (on a scale of 1 to 100) and fan ratings from IMDb (on a scale of 1 to 10) for each film where available.

However, we used 1975 as the cutoff for global box office because worldwide figures before then were spotty and inconsistent. For films prior to 1975, we've provided adjusted and unadjusted domestic box office instead.

Several franchises are represented — "Star Wars," "Terminator," "Harry Potter" — as are Academy Award winners and classics like "The Sound of Music" and "Rocky."

Read on to find out the highest-grossing movie released the year you were born:

*Note: A couple years in the 1930s are missing due to lack of information. Movies before 1930 were not included due to unreliable box-office data.

• Barron Trump, 13, has lived in the White House for almost two years. It's the first time since John F. Kennedy Jr. that a boy is living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
• The first kids of US presidents are in the public eye almost as much as their parents. They dictate fashion trends, appear on their parents' behalf at embassies around the world, and sometimes host senior prom in the White House East Room.
• But when the first family departs, the spotlight typically turns away from them. We're taking a look at what they've been doing ever since.
• Visit BusinessInsider.com for more stories.

Some first kids follow their parents into politics, some write about it, or tour the country talking about it, and others do their very best to steer clear of the limelight.

Regardless of what these well known kids end up doing after they move out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., they're still an important part of United States history.

Here's a look at what the first children are up to these days.

Some siblings sue each other over money or defamation while others live out their days amid a frigid silent treatment. Some sibling rivalries are purely playful, competitive one-upmanship.

These sibling groups not only prove that it's impossible to expect brothers and sisters to get along all the time, but they also show that some siblings simply have it out for one another.

Indian business tycoons Mukesh and Anil Ambani waged a war against each other in and out of court.

When Reliance Industries founder Dhirubhai Ambani died in 2002 without a will, his elder son, Mukesh, took over the company as chairman while his younger son, Anil, was made vice-chairman.

Mukesh then reportedly tried to push Anil off the board, and tension between the siblings turned into an ugly legal battle, resulting in a de-merger of the company led by the brothers' mother in 2005. For the next five years the brothers continued to wage war against one another, both in and out of court, until their mother intervened again, this time issuing a noncompete agreement between the two in 2010.

Though the brothers announced soon after that they were no longer feuding, new deals in the telecommunications industry could become a new source of competition for the Ambanis.

Sister singers LaVerne, Patty, and Maxene Andrews had a decades-long feud.

Their careers were built on harmonizing together, but the Andrews Sisters weren't always as bright and cheery as their songs. Known for hits like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," the Andrews Sisters were the most successful female recording group in pop history, according to a 1987 Los Angeles Times article.

So it's strange — or maybe natural — that their success is clouded by a decades-long feud. All three sisters are deceased as of January 2013, but Maxene once chalked their intense loathing for one another up to too many years of working too closely together...though it may not have helped things that Patty joined another singing group in 1951 without telling her sisters.

But in spite of their sweet trio image, Patty believed that their diehard fans didn't care about the feud at all, telling the LA Times, "When I start singing the Andrews Sisters songs, they don't give a damn whether I talk to my sister or not."

Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso and Mikkel Borg Bjergso started a brewery together before their relationship soured.

Mikkel Borg Bjergso and Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso have been making beer for years, and while they started out brewing together, they have since ventured out on their own.

The identical twins each own their own beer outfit — Mikkel is the mastermind behind the brewery Mikkeller in Copenhagen while Jeppe runs the now-Queens-based Evil Twin Brewing— but the two have hardly spoken since 2010. The rivalry is clear; after all, each brother runs a business in the same industry, but the Bjergsos say they don't look at one another as competition — or at least, Mikkel doesn't. "I don't see Jeppe as a rival,"he told The New York Times' Jonah Weiner in a 2014 article about the brothers' ongoing love of beer and animosity toward each other.

Weiner makes it clear that, rivalry or not, there's definitely a feud between the two that the brothers even tried to resolve with some couples-type counseling, but to no avail.

Prestley and Curtis Blake of Friendly's fell out during one of many sales of the company.

Prestley and Curtis Blake opened Friendly's, a local ice cream shop in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1935. Their double-dip, five-cent ice cream cones were a success, and the business grew into a nationwide chain.

The business sold multiple times over the years and the Blake brothers' relationship remained intact until the company decided to explore another sale in 2007. Curtis wrote his older brother, who still held 13% of Friendly's, imploring him not to sell, but Prestley responded, through the Boston Globe, that he believed he was right and was going forward with the sale anyway.

Curtis told the Globe he was disappointed that business had come between them, saying, "[Prestley] was my best friend for 85 years. It would have been a nice story if we ended up best friends for our entire life."

Curtis Blake died at his home in Florida in May 2019. The brothers had been close in recent years, despite the previous falling out. According to MassLive, Prestley said he had visited Curtis recently and "was very troubled to see his brother ill."

"We worked very closely for 43 years," Pres Blake, who turns 105 in November this year, said. "I counted on him to make important decisions."

Mary and Anne Boleyn feuded over King Henry VIII's affections.

Sisters are often expected to share most things, whether they like it or not, but husbands? Mary Boleyn had a reputation for promiscuous behavior and was known for being King Henry VIII's mistress until 1521 when she was married off to William Carey, a friend of the king. 

Her younger sister Anne was betrothed to an Irish cousin, but when the marriage fell through she set her sights on her sister's old lover. After her marriage, Mary remained in the king's court all while Anne also resided there, spending six years trying to win King Henry VIII's affections.

Anne finally succeeded after the king broke away from the Catholic church in order to marry her. She later gave birth to the future Queen Elizabeth I. She failed, however, to produce a male heir, weakening her relationship with the king and threatening her place of power.

Anne was executed after she was accused of committing adultery and incest with her brother, along with conspiring against the king. She is largely credited with being the catalyst for the formation of the Church of England, despite her untimely end.

Christopher Ciccone and Madonna stopped speaking before his memoir, "Life With My Sister Madonna," was released.

Madonna and her brother Christopher Ciccone worked pretty closely together as she launched her career — he's been her assistant, stylist, and artistic director at one time or another — but the two stopped speaking right before his 2008 memoir, "Life With My Sister Madonna," hit shelves.

The book details intimate information about Madonna's ex-husband, kids, and career, among other things that didn't sit too well with the "Material Girl."

Madonna and Christopher continued not speaking for another five or six years, but reportedly were "back to being brother and sister," Christopher told The Huffington Post in 2012.

However, in 2017, the feud was reignited after Christopher claimed Madonna had "blacklisted" him from Hollywood, calling her "horrific." 

Christopher is one of seven of Madonna's siblings; according to The Guardian, there's tension between the pop star and her brother Anthony as well.

Cleopatra is said to have had a hand in the deaths of three of her siblings.

Cleopatra is largely remembered for her beauty and intelligence, as well as her sometimes ruthless nature. According to History.com, Cleopatra may have had a hand in the death of three of her siblings, likely to secure her own power and place as ruler of Egypt.

Her husband (and sibling!) Ptolemy XIII, exiled her from Egypt after she attempted to claim the throne as Egypt's sole ruler. She then, with Julius Caesar, went to war against her brother. He died by drowning in the Nile River after being defeated in battle.

Cleopatra then re-married her younger brother Ptolemy XIV. However, she then supposedly had him murdered in order to make her son her co-ruler. It is also said that she orchestrated the execution of her sister, Arsinoe, who she deemed to be a threat to her and her throne.

Adolf and Rudolf Dassler's feud resulted in the two separate shoe brands Adidas and Puma.

A feud between German shoemakers Adolf "Adi" and Rudolf "Rudi" Dassler divided not only the brothers but the town in which they lived and manufactured their sportswear.

The Dasslers started their business together in the 1920s, but apparently there was some head-butting from the get-go. The actual feud, however, allegedly stemmed from a mere miscommunication during a WWII air raid. The story goes that Adi and his family climbed into the bomb shelter where Rudi and his were hiding. Adi said, "The dirty bastards are back again," meaning the Allied forces, but which Rudi took to mean him and his family.

Barely five years later the brothers were dividing the company into Adi's Adidas brand and Rudi's Puma. The rivalry continued for more than 60 years, as the Dasslers' companies earned the loyalties of different athletes, celebrities, and even their fellow German townsfolk. Adolf and Rudolf Dassler's feud resulted in the two separate shoe brands Adidas and Puma.

Actresses Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine didn't speak to each other for 40 years.

From a young age, actresses and sisters Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine competed for men, acting gigs, and even the attention of their mother (also an actress).

The sisters were up for the same Best Actress Oscar in 1942 when Joan won out over Olivia (though Olivia eventually won her own Oscar); the latter reportedly refused to congratulate her sister on the award, leading to snub number one. The second big snub came in 1975 when Joan called out Olivia for supposedly failing to notify her sister of their mother's death, to which Olivia replied that Joan would've been too busy to attend the funeral anyway.

The star sisters gave each other the silent treatment for the next 40 or so years, until the time of Joan's death in December 2013.

Former Oasis band members Liam and Noel Gallagher's rivalry ended the brothers up in court.

When you're two brothers playing in a successful rock band, bickering comes with the territory, but for former Oasis members Liam and Noel Gallagher, their bickering landed them in court.

In 2009 Noel accused Liam of pulling out of the band's headlining gig at the V Festival in England due to the fact that Liam was hungover — something Liam says is 100% untrue. Liam took his brother to high court in 2011, blaming him for Oasis' breakup. Liam maintained that the reason he pulled from the gig was a case of laryngitis and wanted to set the record straight for Oasis fans.

Liam later served as the frontman for post-Oasis band Beady Eye until the band's dissolution, and then became a solo artist. Noel is currently also flying solo. The brothers' relationship is still a broken one; when asked about the possibility of an Oasis reunion, Noel told The Guardian that it's never going to happen. "Unless they're doing it without me," he said, "But without me, it would be rubbish."

The two brothers are apparently still feuding. In September 2019, Liam Gallagher called out his brother Noel for "slagging off" young fans wanting an Oasis reunion, calling him "ungrateful." 

Jim and John Harbaugh, head coaches of the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers respectively, went head-to-head in the Super Bowl, creating an awkward family situation.

The rivalry between John and Jim Harbaugh, head coaches of the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers respectively, has always been a relatively friendly one — the brothers genuinely show mutual respect for one another and older brother John has even called Jim "the best coach in football right now."

And then, for the first time, the Harbaughs went head-to-head when their teams each made it to the 2013 Superbowl. The Ravens defeated the 49ers 34 to 31, and while Jim congratulated John on his victory, John reportedly said that the situation was very awkward after the game.

Both brothers were intensely competitive, but were soon back on perfectly good terms, and Jim has said that their relationship is stronger than ever.

Nick, Kevin, and Joe Jonas of The Jonas Brothers broke up to pursue their own careers before reuniting in 2019.

Sibling trio Nick, Kevin, and Joe Jonas signed as The Jonas Brothers with Hollywood Records in 2007 and sold millions of records to adoring, mostly female, fans who were devastated to learn in October 2013 that the band had abruptly canceled their 19-city tour due to a "deep rift within the band."

The Jonas Brothers broke up shortly after to pursue their own careers, putting the future of their tenth album, "V," in jeopardy. It's not the first time the guys went separate ways; the band took a "three-year hiatus" but then got back together.

The musical threesome released five songs from "V" as part of a live album before officially splitting. Joe Jonas went on to join the band DNCE, which received worldwide fame for their hit song "Cake By the Ocean." 

In February 2019, the Jonas Brothers returned with their first single in six years— the catchy hit "Sucker," complete with a music video. The brothers are now back on the road touring, proving that no feud could stop their musical talents and love for one another. 

The feud of King Richard "the Lion Heart" and Prince John may or may not be completely factual.

Everyone knows the tale of Robin Hood: A vigilante do-gooder stole from the rich and gave to the poor. In this version, the rich included Prince John, who seized the throne in his brother's absence.

Regardless of the truth of the tale, there was a Prince John who spent years plotting against his older brother, King Richard "the Lion Heart." King Richard was the ruler of England beginning in 1183 with the death of his brother Henry. But King Richard was taken prisoner by Duke Leopold of Austria during the Crusades, leaving Prince John free to take the throne.

King Richard was eventually released on ransom; he pardoned his younger brother when he returned to England but took away most of the land he owned.

Charles, David, Bill, and Fred Koch fought over money.

While Charles and David were the faces of conglomerate Koch Industries and the Koch family, they have two other brothers: Bill (David's twin) and Fred (the eldest), who were given over $1 billion in 1983 to give up their stakes in Koch Industries.

Bill and Fred took up a years-long battle against Charles and David, saying they were duped into taking the $1 billion and change and should be owed billions more.

The case eventually settled, and Charles and David remained at Koch Industries. On August 23, 2019, David Koch passed away at his home in Southampton, N.Y at the age of 79. Charles continues to operate as Koch Industries' chairman of the board and CEO.

Bill is worth multiple billions running Florida-based energy company Oxbow Carbon, and Fred lives quietly in Monaco as a rare books collector and patron of the arts.

Advice columnists and twin sisters Eppie Lederer and Pauline Phillips feuded over their respective (and identical) columns.

You may not have heard of Eppie Lederer or Pauline Phillips, but you probably have heard of advice columnists "Ann Landers" and "Abigail Van Buren," which are the names the identical twins wrote under. Eppie assumed the voice of Ann Landers in the "Ask Ann Landers" column in 1955; Pauline followed in her sister's footsteps just months later by creating her own column, "Dear Abby."

Naturally, there was tension from competing as advice columnists, but the feud began in the mid-1950s when Pauline allegedly offered to write "Dear Abby" for their hometown newspaper for less pay if it promised not to print "Ask Ann." The twins were never the same after that.

It seems that the family never could bury the hatchet though, as apparently the decades-long feud has continued through the twins' children.

Prince William and Prince Harry of Windsor are known for their friendly competition.

Competition between older and younger siblings is inherent in nature — the older is almost always first to do everything, and for British royals Prince William and Prince Harry, that also includes becoming king.

A biography by royal correspondent Marcia Moody revealed a totally different side of the relationship between royal British brothers Prince William and Prince Harry. Some younger siblings would envy older ones for getting more attention, privileges, or power, but not Prince Harry, because he realized that he had more freedom than his brother, the future king.

At 6 years old, Prince Harry told his brother, "You'll be King, I won't; so I can do what I want!"according to Moody. But the two grew up side-by-side yet rather independently, and their rivalry never really amounted to more than friendly competition between brothers.

Now, the media has turned their attention towards a supposed rivalry between the brothers' better-halves, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. However, nothing has suggested the rumors of a true rivalry are anything other than tabloid gossip. 

Venus and Serena Williams have a friendly sibling rivalry on the court.

These two top tennis-playing sisters have played each other (professionally) two dozen times now, and every match is a tense one — not just for the crowds watching, but for the Williams sisters themselves.

Both are incredibly competitive and both have multiple accolades in their sport, but their friendly sibling rivalry, as far as anyone knows, has never turned ugly. In fact, both maintain that they have a huge amount of respect and admiration for the other.

Serena has said that she doesn't enjoy matches against her sister. "If I win I'm not super excited, and if I lose I'm really not excited." Venus agrees: "I think we just both want to win...I think we just both have so much respect for each other's game that makes it probably a little tougher because you know you're not going to get an easy win."

Phil and Steve Mahre competed against each other in the Olympics.

Phil and Steve Mahre, fraternal twins who were born four minutes apart, were considered to be two of the greatest ski racers of all time. The pair ended their ski careers in 1984 following the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, where Phil took gold and Steve took silver in slalom.

Phil Mahre went down in history as a more celebrated athlete than his brother, finishing in the top three in the World Cup overall standings for six consecutive seasons, and winning the title in three.

Average annual salary: $149,590

Projected growth (2014 to 2024): 10%

Projected growth (2014 to 2024): 19%

7. Psychiatrist

Average annual salary: $193,680

Projected growth (2014 to 2024): 15%

Unlike podiatrists and surgeons, who deal with physical afflictions, psychiatrists tend to patients' mental health. They diagnose and treat complex conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. Psychiatrists use a combination of methods to treat these disorders and write prescriptions when necessary.

6. Physician

Average annual salary: $196,520

3. Oral and maxillofacial surgeon

Average annual salary: $233,900

Projected growth (2014 to 2024): 18%

Unlike a regular dentist, oral and maxillofacial surgeons go through an additional four years of surgical training to be able to perform surgical procedures pertaining to the face, mouth, and jaw, such as fixing a cleft lip or administering a face-lift. These doctors are also able to administer anesthesia and diagnose cancer.

2. Surgeon

Average annual salary: $247,520

Projected growth (2014 to 2024): 20%

Surgeons undertake a heavy job: opening up people's bodies to correct injuries, diseases, or deformities. Surgeons are rigorously trained for the serious nature of the job, however. After completing a bachelor's degree and four years of medical school, they must enter a surgical residency program, which takes a minimum of five years to finish.

1. Anesthesiologist
