Highest-Income Countries
Ranked by GDP per capita across 50 major economies — output per head, not salaries.
What this ranking measures
GDP per capita in current US dollars — a country's total output divided by its population — across the 50 major economies Richbay tracks, not a world ranking. It is NOT a salary or a median income: financial centres, oil exporters and countries with large non-resident workforces show high output per head without that reaching a typical wage.
