A survey showed which are the richest countries in the world. To the surprise of many, the United States are not first. Read the article, see and understand how the ranking works.

A survey published by Austin Rating, based on the latest projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for global growth in 2023, showed which are the richest countries considering the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of each nation.

Before showing the ranking, it is important to highlight that GDP, in general, is the sum of the wealth produced by the country in a year and represents how much that economy has grown and is thriving.

On the other hand, GDP per capita, used for the ranking, means the total of all goods and services produced divided by the number of inhabitants of that country. This number is often used as a measure to evaluate the well-being of the people living in that country.

Ranking of the Largest Economies (Annual GDP)

When it comes to GDP itself, the United States indeed lead. Behind the Americans are China and Germany. See:

United States – US$ 26.95 trillion;
China – US$ 17.7 trillion;
Germany – US$ 4.43 trillion;
Japan – US$ 4.23 trillion;
India – US$ 3.73 trillion;
United Kingdom – US$ 3.33 trillion;
France – US$ 3.05 trillion;
Italy – US$ 2.19 trillion;
Brazil – US$ 2.13 trillion;
Canada – US$ 2.12 trillion.

As can be seen, the two rankings show differences, with the most significant being observed in the United States and China. The first country is the richest, but in the per capita ranking, it appears in seventh place.

In China, this difference is even greater. While in the second ranking, China appears in second place, in the first, the Asian country’s position is number 75, which shows a poor distribution of wealth.

Brazil, which recently returned to the top 10 countries with the largest GDP, appears only in 82nd place, with an average of US$ 10,413 per year, when it comes to GDP per capita.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

Between Egypt and Sudan, Bir Tawil is no man’s land that neither country wants on paper, but in practice has gold mining, nomadic tribes, and even fake “kings.”

Swimming champion Shavarsh Karapetyan dove about 40 times into a frozen lake in Armenia to rescue a sunken bus, saved 20 lives, and lost his career because of it.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

New portable bathroom is ready in 90 seconds, measures 2.18 meters, fits in the car when closed, and offers privacy for showering and changing clothes.

Coal mine purchased for $2 million in Wyoming, the Brook Mine holds rare earth elements and critical minerals estimated at up to $37 billion, in an asset that the US is competing for with China.

In the year Brazil won the World Cup, gasoline cost R$ 1.77, the cheapest car was worth R$ 13,000, there were no flex-fuel cars, SUVs were rare, and no Chinese brand sold a single vehicle in the country.

Neighboring Balneário Camboriú will receive a R$ 1 billion airport with 225 hangars, an area of 2.2 million m², a technology park, and an export zone that promises to transform the economy and generate thousands of jobs.

After investing R$ 5,000 in fried chicken in his backyard, a Brazilian transformed two fryers and a freezer into a network with 115 sales points, presence in up to 17 states, and revenue exceeding R$ 115 million per year.

Not even Trump convinces the market: U.S. companies state that Brazil has no substitute, pressure Washington against the 25% tariff, and warn that the measure could raise prices, cause layoffs, delay projects, and harm sectors that depend on stones, wood, seeds, and other Brazilian products.
