Richest Countries in the World: a Timelapse (GDP per capita 1980-2028)

india (poorest still 2024) dont talk about GDP!(MAY BE IN 5TH)

Guyana?

Now look at the net wealth of your mean citizen. You can have a very wealthy Country where the average/mean citizen is incredibly poor. Wealth disparity is huge in Countries like Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Its interesting to me how much of a gap there is between the top 10 countries and the rest in GDP in 2026. Though its clear that GDP is not a accurate measure of wealth, when you see Ireland ranked 2nd and Denmark 10th or the US 9th and Canada 20th and Switzerland twice as high as Germany, with the UK ahead of Finland but with less than half the GDP of Ireland.

If you experience living in these countries you would know that it is far better to live in Denmark, Canada, Finland and New Zealand than the ranking suggest. While Ireland the US, the UK and Israel seem a bit overrated. GDP does not measure standard of living, well-being, comfort, security, happiness, infrastructure, technology, corruption, peace, unemployment, education or financial growth, so I do not agree it is a correct measurement of richness.

Where is Russia it has the biggest economy in Europe. GDP means nothing . Russian GDP based on production most western GDP based on consuming and market manipulation . And let’s not forget the debt . America debt far exceeds their GDP
Silly chart
American household consumption is 60% of their GDP . American household debt is 78% of their GDP . America is bankrupt and will eventually lose the dollar .

Tax havens are the most productive economies, it seems.

Per capita is no longer parameter to determine which is richest country, now there is GDP/PPP or purchasing power parity

France went off the rank...
We are getting poorer and poorer years after years...
French leaders are absolutly not interested in ruling the country but getting rich themselves...
We let come in poor immigrants...
We import poor ppl and we do export rich ones... In Switzerland this is the total opposite.... They import rich ppl and they export poor ones : no immigration in Switzerland ! They are so right !!!

Te wykresy na dole zasłaniają tablice.

The top five countries are tax haven, they're very exaggerated.

TOTAL SCAM - does not show Taiwan which has the richest country in Asia.

FAKE DATA

(OECD) defines GDP as "an aggregate measure of production equal to the sum of the gross values added of all resident and institutional units engaged in production and services (plus any taxes, and minus any subsidies, on products not included in the value of their outputs). Hence, GDP, contrary to the title of this interesting video, represents value added of a country´s production, but is much less a metric for their richness. We live in times of unprecedented financial transfers, mainly from central western to Eastern and Southern Europe. Plus from oil and gas producing countries to muslim countries in their proximity.

Rediculous ranking

Interesting to see UK is projected to overtake Germany in the next few years

Incorrect. Norway has been the wealthiest country per capita for most of the two last decades, thanks to the Norwegian Pension Fund, which is the official name for it these days. To include Luxembourgh and Switzerland - where most of the GDP is foreign deposits in bank accounts - is kind of ridiculous.

Corelate perfect with global /regional credit / housing bubble boom and bust!

Ireland is starting look better and better everyday. Although the sharp increase in the United States are COVID and the US riding out inflation. Employers were forced to increase hourly and salary workers income, otherwise we simply wouldn't work and some even hit the picket lines and went on strike.

The difference is the so-called eight nations above America combined have about the population of only one good size American state. This is Apples and Oranges via comparison.

Ireland's numbers are a fantasy. They bare no relation to reality for many people today in the country. I am irish.

Europe is the cradle of modern civilization and also where there is more countries with economic wealth. What a great continent.

Assuming everyone is equal, this GDP per capita only reflects the inequality between the rich and the poor. Do the median wealth next.

The Brexiteers convinced everybody in Britain that the “poor” European Union was holding “rich” Britain back.
Britain is so poor it barely makes it on to the bottom of the list; even though it has the benefit of Black Gold… North Sea oil.

Over last 500 years, overall tiny Netherland richest 😅

HK and Macau are NOT countries!!!😂😂😂

Doubt

Ireland richer than the UK???

Where is Russia and China in these ratings?

Pauvre France!

As expected, the U.S. is the center of the world.

Hongkong independence🎉

Western Europe showing how it's done. 👍

So basically the US is by far the richest country considering this is per capita and the US has 330 million people.

hong kong is part of china

This list is such a lie

All of north Europe used to be as rich but then Norway and Denmark left Sweden and Finland in the dust 😐

I don't see proud Indians comming and spamming? 😂

Próximamente argentina estará ahí

Is no one gonna talk about San Marino just sky rocketed?

How did Ireland get so rich???

GDP doesn't say much; Singapore is situated on the fifth spot as of today, but 10% of its people lives in absolute poverty (The Borgen Proyect).

Nice to see Norway doing great, we also have the biggest wealt fund in the world

Macau so funny 2019 😅

2023 was the year that I learned to read the descriptions…

San Marino and Qatar so high yet poorest at football ⚽

The Celtic tiger 🇮🇪💪
