Territories With High GDP Per Capita
While the table below enlists the countries of the world by GDP per capita, there are some territories that have per capita GDPs that are higher than most countries. In fact, the per capita GDP of Macau, a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, is $129,428.1, which is higher than Luxembourg, the richest country in the world. Gambling-related tourism and apparel exports form the backbone of Macau's economy. The British Overseas Territories of Bermuda ($85,263.8) and Cayman Islands ($73,437.5) also have a per capita GDP that is higher than Switzerland, the world's 5th richest country. The tourism and financial services sectors are the mainstays of the economies of these two territories. Another SAR of China, Hong Kong, has a GDP per capita of $62,567.2 ranking it above San Marino.

The richest countries listed above exhibit the dominance of European nations on the list. Oil-rich economies like UAE and Qatar from the Middle East also feature on the list. However, with fossil fuel reserves fast depleting in these countries, the future of these nations will depend on how effectively they diversify their economies. The United States, the world's biggest economy in terms of nominal GDP, ranks 8th in terms of per capita GDP. With the world changing at an unprecedented rate, the world's richest countries might see a massive change in rankings in the coming times.
