Every person on earth wishes to have his or her country among the richest in the world, however, wishes aren't horses. Time and again, some countries have defied the odds to always stay among the richest in the world over the last two decades (I know you are thinking of countries like Switzerland and Norway 🙌🙌) Then there are the others such as Kuwait and UAE who have emerged over the last decade and are also seriously here to stay.🤔🤔
The International Monetary Fund reports the following countries as the richest in the world according to per capita (note that per capita is the total amount of money or income a country makes - known as Gross Domestic Product - divided by the total number of people in the country. So if the Steemit platform generates $35,000 in 2017 and there are 1000 Steemians, the per capita income of the Steemit platform is 35000÷1000 = $35 for every single Steemian. Understood??🤔🤔🤔 It goes to show that the countries with the highest GDPs such as China and Brazil aren't necessarily the richest in the world in terms of per capita. ) as of November 2017.
