Would’ve expected to see more Scandinavian countries, not just Norway
Lol, Ireland’s GDP is a statistical fiction.
Ireland, Monaco, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein. That seems pretty random, I wonder if there is some kind of pattern at work here.
The funny thing is that some 10 years ago there were quite a lot of countries with a higher GDP per capita than the US, now there are only the microstates, a petro state, Leprechaun economics, and Switzerland.
Singapore?
No wonder the US is what it is.
3rd highest population in the world, and also happens to be practically the richest populace in the world
You either need to be a filled to the brim with Oil, an international black money paradise or a small town state which acts as a rest house for billionaires to be richer
Japan isn’t?
Median GDP is much more representative. The mean is too much affected by income inequality.
Still though, americas fcuked.
Means are meaningless.
Can’t wait for all the “This metric doesn’t mean anything” and “The EU is still better because the US is falling apart”. Any statistic that doesn’t show the EU in a better light gets immediately dismissed by Europeans.
Lmao
EUR 6 – USA 1
We win again!
I guess it’s nominal dollars. It should be in PPP dollars to remove effects of stronger/weaker dollar.
Dayum. The world is *poor*
What about Qatar? UAE? Kuwait?
The wealth gap here is huge. The average salary in my county is $140,000/year, for someone in the southwest they have a salary of about $38,000. Very uneven
When you realise the US has the world’s 3rd largest population, it must contain immense wealth for it to be so high on the list.
