Although the day of turkey, football and gathering together has remained a distinctly American holiday, the shopping day afterward has gone global in a big way. How did that happen?

Register for Toys for Tots, and make the holidays a time your children will never forget. We'll show you how to register for Toys for Tots.

Whether you are an employee or a small business owner, it can be helpful to calculate the number of working days in a year. Most people are familiar with the total number of days in a year: 365. But how many of those days are working days?

Although she is far from the richest person in the world — a title currently held by LMVH CEO Bernault Arnault — Françoise Bettencourt Meyers is still doing fine for herself.

Looking for a career change, or just trying to make some extra cash on the side? You may be able to leverage talents that you already have and put them into your own hustle, or maybe you're simply on the hunt for the easiest business to start.

While the average billionaire is 66 years old, there’s a dramatic shift taking place in the world of wealth. A new generation of billionaires is making headlines with their impressive fortunes. Around the globe, 14 individuals have reached a net worth of over $1 billion despite being 30 years old or younger — and the youngest billionaire is still in her teens.

The world’s biggest companies don't just shape the global economy in an abstract sense; they provide the products and services that make modern life more convenient and connected than ever before. They set trends, drive innovation and set the course for smaller companies in every sector from technology to healthcare to finance.

If you found a bag full of cash, which currency would you prefer it to be? The quick answer might not be the best one; while a suitcase full of U.S. dollars would mean you could start spending immediately (provided you were in the U.S., or in a country that accepted the U.S. dollar as an official currency), there are actually more valuable currencies out there.

Capitalism can be like a warped and extremely un-fun game of Monopoly, and most people are entering the fray much too late to get a slice of the action.

Economists have historically used GDP per capita to determine the richest country in the world, but that's misleading when you consider the tax havens effect.
