If success is a turn-on, then the hot power couples in Hollywood must be lusting after each other to no end. These may be two-income households, but both halves can hold their own in millions. The jury is out on who tends to pick up the check, but Forbes has declared which pairs fit the bill as the top-earning couples in Hollywood.

We can use cost of living calculators to determine approximately how far our salaries will take us in another city, but it's more difficult to put a number on the nickels and dimes of daily living expenses. Forbes surveyed cities across the US and used its findings to name which cities pay the most and least for certain costs. Unsurprisingly, New York, NY appears as the priciest city for several expenses.

The current economy has most of us in search of a magical land unaffected by high gas prices and the credit crisis. Sadly, there is no magical land, but there are places were you can stretch your dollar a little further than others. Forbes has put together a Best and Worst Bang For the Buck list that takes into account the rank of job-growth projections, inflation, median house price, and median household income, median income and cost of living index, and gas prices.

It's obvious Forbes had a good time playing 20 questions with 17 self-made members of the Forbes 400 — you know, the list of the 400 richest Americans. One question all of the billionaires were asked was "What are the first and last questions you ask in any job interview?" The answers range from practical to paranoid, and I've shared part one of the 16 answers with you here (Ron Perelman had no answer for this question).

The Forbes 400 can cause mixed feelings: On the one hand, it makes generating massive wealth seem out of reach because the person sitting at number 400 on the list is worth $1.3 billion. On the other hand, the various businesses that have made these people rich make it clear that success can be found in the most unassuming places.
The 400 richest people in the US have varied and interesting business backgrounds — can you guess what made them rich?

Forbes is at it again, but this time they are looking at the 10 most stressful cities in America. They constructed their list after looking at the country's 40 largest metropolitan areas and examining quality of life indicators. They looked at the housing market, cost of living, price of gas, environmental factors such as weather and air quality, and lastly, population density.

The introduction of the new 90210 got me thinking about posh Beverly Hills, and with the never-gets-old theme song in mind, I went searching for information on real estate by zip code. Turns out I didn't have to look too far, because Forbes created a list of the most overpriced zip codes in the US. Forbes determined if a zip code was overpriced by looking at how much of a premium home owners pay in comparison to how much it costs to rent a similar home in the area.

The women on Forbes's fifth annual list of the 100 most powerful women in the world control $26 trillion worldwide, and the list is an impressive grouping of government and company leaders. While these individuals are doing quite well for themselves, women hold just 15 percent of top corporate jobs in the US and are chief executives for less than 3 percent of the country's biggest companies. Here are the top 10 most powerful females; visit Forbes for the full list.
