Everything in the world costs money, and there really is no exception to such a bold claim. People are quick to retort with the notion that you cannot buy experiences or memories, but the truth of the matter is that you need to have a source of finances in order to go anywhere and experience new cultures, places, or any other travel-related endeavor whatsoever.
You can create memories doing things that don't require money. Still, the options are painfully limited, and you can only make the same memory of hanging out in your backyard before it becomes dull and not worth storing in your long-term memory. While it is not necessarily true that wealthier people are happier, they are far more capable of paying for anything they need and preventing any stress, anxiety, or depressive symptoms resulting from an inability to afford something you need.
By looking at the GDP per capita, or gross domestic product per capita, of each country around the globe, it is possible to rank countries based on wealth and then compare them to each other. From there, you can determine which states are wealthiest and then list the countries in descending order, from richest to poorest. Here is the definitive list of the top 55 most affluent countries in the world, starting with the wealthiest country. 1.Luxembourg (GDP per capita: $119,719)
2.norway (GDP per capita: $86,362)
3.Switzerland (GDP per capita: $83,832)
4.Ireland (GDP per capita: $81,477)
5.Iceland (GDP per capita: $78,181)
6.Qatar (GDP per capita: $65,062)
7.The United States of America (GDP per capita: $64,906)
8.Denmark (GDP per capita: $63,434)
9.Singapore (GDP per capita: $62,690)
10.Australia (GDP per capita: $58,824)
Location is a major player in the overall wealth of a country. For example, developing countries do not rank very well when GDP is the variable in consideration. If access to certain items and necessities is restricted, people are already working with a substantial disadvantage. Places that are not war-stricken or already burdened with a less-than-ideal economy are not set up to do well in the competition of gross domestic products between countries.
This is why, when looking at the list of the wealthiest countries in the world, you'll find that places where trade or massive production is the primary source of income rank higher on the list.
The poorer countries are less involved in global trading, and they are more independent in the sense that their direct involvement in international affairs is lesser than the wealthier nations. This is because money and power are so naturally interwoven, contributing to the overall wealth and GDP of a country.
Here are the 10 richest countries in the world:
1.United States ($18.62 Tn)
2.China ($11.22 Tn)
3.Japan ($4.94 Tn)
4.Germany ($3.48 Tn)
5.United Kingdom ($2.65 Tn)
6.France ($2.47 Tn)
7.India ($2.26 Tn)
8.Italy ($1.86 Tn)
