The Richest Countries by GDP per Capita
Ranked by nominal GDP per person in US dollars, from the World Bank. Nominal GDP flatters financial hubs and small petrostates; it says what an economy produces per head, not what life there feels like. For living standards, purchasing-power-adjusted income and HDI are better lenses.
In the latest World Bank data, Monaco leads at $288,002, ahead of Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
