Here's The List Of Top 10 Richest Countries In 2024 As Per GDP Per Capita

GDP per capita offers insight into the average wealth and income levels within a country, which gives an idea of how rich or poor a country's general populace is.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is used to evaluate the economic prosperity of nations and their citizens globally. However, GDP is a parameter for the value of all goods and services produced in a country within a specified timeframe, typically annually or quarterly. In contrast, GDP per capita of a country is calculated by dividing the total GDP of the country by its total population. This metric offers insight into the average wealth and income levels within a country, which gives an idea of how rich or poor a country's general populace is. 

When both, population size and economic output are considered, we get a figure called the PPP or the purchasing power parity. The PPP provides valuable insights but it may not offer absolute statistics for precisely ranking the wealthiest and poorest countries. Nevertheless, the GDP per capita ranking 2023 (accounting for PPP) brings us close to understanding the wealth held by various nations. 

Now, when you go by GDP per capita PPP, these are the top 10 countries that come up as the richest as of February 2024, as per the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
