Ireland is starting look better and better everyday. Although the sharp increase in the United States are COVID and the US riding out inflation. Employers were forced to increase hourly and salary workers income, otherwise we simply wouldn't work and some even hit the picket lines and went on strike.
Ireland is rich thanks to the money they get from the UE.... All the europeans pay for Ireland....Without financial aid the Eire would poorer than any african country...
businesses do not stand religious wars.....
Yep, grand job Ireland.
they are actually much poorer than what the graph shows. Ireland is only up there for their weard tax system. Big Tech Companys from the us and probebly other countries stationed in Ireland to minimize tax payments. that they are so high on the list does not make them a rich country, it just looks that way here. The list is also not correct. the one on the UN site is correct.
Can you please do economy
The purchasing power list is totally different.
And quality of life
Qatar , Bahrain, Ireland Canada etc
The USA is still in the top ten lol which is incredible for a country with a 336 million population
@@tylerclayton6081 Why would a big country not be rich? There is no evidence that the size of a country determines how rich it can become. There are plenty small countries, both rich and poor, as there are huge countries..
Ireland's gdp per capita surprised me
in EU: Google Ireland as example. Good corp taxes etc
It's all todo with banks - the average person is struggling. They had to go cap in hand to the UK 15 years ago for a loan to stop Ireland going bankrup as their real economy is on par with Greece
@@mrfrisky6501I was in Britain only 3 months ago…outside Greater London the UK is much poorer than Ireland on every conceivable level….especially educationally.
@petergibson2318 In Britain....so we're you in the cotswolds? -' the lake district, Edinburgh, York, Cheshire or the Highlands, or Cornwall- all with a high standard of living and low crime - you must have done some miles to see all of the UK in a short period of time son.
London is the 4th most affluent city in the World and one of only 3 true World cities on Earth.... anywhere you compare to London will come off worse.
I've worked in Ireland over the years and the West Coast of Ireland is very nice to look at but the standard of living is like going back 100 years.
The facts that the UK bailed Ireland out and they supply free air cover and sea patrols are indeed - facts. Just because you don't like those facts doesn't change them son.
@@mrfrisky6501Ireland is just next door to Britain. You can see Snowdonia in Wales from the Dublin suburb of Howth on a clear day.
The British ignorance of Ireland contrasts sharply with Ireland’s knowledge of Britain.
Interesting, but it would be more interesting to have used GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity. Many of the changes in ranking are simply due to fluctuations in exchange rates.
The US is still in the top ten for both. Either way we are the richest country by far since we have a much larger population than any other country in the top 50. It’s much easier for smaller countries to have high GDP Per Capita
Our overall economy is also by far the largest in the world
@@tylerclayton6081Doesn’t make sense. The very reason why they measure per capita is for the reason of then being able to actually get a better grasp on the difference between smaller and larger countries. You could also add in the purchasing power,doing so would make it even more accurate. In my humble and honest opinion there are soooooo many countries that in terms of numbers may be below the U.S,but have so much better systems made for the benefit of their people. Smaller countries tend to understand more the necessity of the well-being of their people,as it’s the ordinary people who are needed the most to actually build up a normal,wellworking society. Best example would be public healthcare. Average U.S citizen wouldn’t even want to call an ambulance incase of something going wrong,let alone go for a surgery or a specialized doctor because it’s so expensive that it could bankrupt you because you don’t know how much some procedure will cost until you actually get the check and by that time it can already be late and ruin your well-being even more than before. Sorry for the rambling,english isn’t my first or even second language,so i hope you can understand what am trying to say or where i am coming from.
@@tylerclayton6081 The US is actually 10th richest per capita. NOT the RICHEST country. Merely the richest economy. Not the same thing! And it is NOT easier for smaller countries to have a higher GDP per capita. Geez.
@@odonnelly46You literally said what he said. He said the USA Is the richest country with a large population per capita.
Europe is the cradle of modern civilization and also where there is more countries with economic wealth. What a great continent.
Europeans enslaved the black man and is responsible for the great genocide if the Jews, Luxembourg is a taxcx haven for the rich Europeans to get out of paying their taxes,what greedy selfish people. Europe made Russia rich buying gas oil diamonds and coal, now when they invade Ukraine suddenly Europeans are no where too be found and it is up to the US to save the world,again,and again and again.
Europe just looted money from India.
India is the cradle of human civilization
America has exploited all countries in wars and it is finally the one who comes out as a winner.
Rather, it is the one who motivates countries to establish a war.
More like bully continent, they got all their wealth from torturing and ripping the resources from mostly the African countries. And that's what you call great.
Nice to see Norway doing great, we also have the biggest wealt fund in the world
Sad fact: most of the top countries are not rich because they are hardworking, but they are because they spend money wisely.
I don't see proud Indians comming and spamming? 😂
Modi's too busy having people bumped off in foreign lands.
They r trolling about pakistan
Duh if you knew much about history India was one of the richest country in the world before colonialism
Edited: also India’s gdp per capital is one of the lowest in the world so it shouldn’t be a surprise it didn’t make it on the list.
@@jgthejason8089yeah the princes were rich. the people of India have always been poor
@@astronova3508 probably accurate but many industries were destroyed looting, and heavy taxed that starved millions of people to death. India statistically would be a lot more rich today without colonialism.
Corelate perfect with global /regional credit / housing bubble boom and bust!
just saying i dont think it will be that stable of growth in the next 4 years
(OECD) defines GDP as "an aggregate measure of production equal to the sum of the gross values added of all resident and institutional units engaged in production and services (plus any taxes, and minus any subsidies, on products not included in the value of their outputs). Hence, GDP, contrary to the title of this interesting video, represents value added of a country´s production, but is much less a metric for their richness. We live in times of unprecedented financial transfers, mainly from central western to Eastern and Southern Europe. Plus from oil and gas producing countries to muslim countries in their proximity.
Is no one gonna talk about San Marino just sky rocketed?
I sure as shit didn't expect my country to be above both the UK, Germany and Canada. That's actually shocking.
2023 was the year that I learned to read the descriptions…
Western Europe showing how it's done. 👍
America is far richer than any larger western European nations. If you want to compare us to the microstates then it’s not fair because we have a population of 336 million. It’s easier for small countries to have high GDP Per Capita
What's the point in being poor in a "rich" country. Does it makes you feel good?
@@tylerclayton6081check last 500 years, byfar tiny Netherland the richest country
@@hengedy The "poor" in a rich country are rich compared to the upper middle class in middle income countries. Poverty is relative.
@@tylerclayton6081They have a lot of debt tho
France went off the rank...
We are getting poorer and poorer years after years...
French leaders are absolutly not interested in ruling the country but getting rich themselves...
We let come in poor immigrants...
We import poor ppl and we do export rich ones... In Switzerland this is the total opposite.... They import rich ppl and they export poor ones : no immigration in Switzerland ! They are so right !!!
WHERES MONACO?
Only legal gdp shown
Libya and Arabian countries suprised me at first and then i wonder why they falled
This isn't quite accurate. You can see Icelands GDP per capita fall in 2006-2007 when in reality it was in 2009 during the banking crisis.
My country is pretty poor, but São Paulo State isn't poor.
Brazil is really poor.. and won't get better in years ahead!
@@TimeToSingChannelDo you swear? International organizations dont agree with you.
Te wykresy na dole zasłaniają tablice.
Assuming everyone is equal, this GDP per capita only reflects the inequality between the rich and the poor. Do the median wealth next.
Over last 500 years, overall tiny Netherland richest 😅
As a luxembourger i can only tell you that we have to pay a big prize for this gdp. Frenchspeakers are taking over our country and our language is being replaced by french. Our culture is disappearing. But that’s life

You need go to bed and dreaming but your dream never come true 😝
GDP doesn't say much; Singapore is situated on the fifth spot as of today, but 10% of its people lives in absolute poverty (The Borgen Proyect).
GDP is the total combined economic output for a country. GDP Per Capita is economic output per person. It doesn’t account for inequality but it is the absolute amount of a country’s economic size.
20% of British people live in Poverty, that doesn’t mean they’re not a rich country on average
Oh my gosh... I didn't know. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.@@tylerclayton6081
Every country in the upper half would say that., including my own, Ireland. But it is what it is, figures do not lie. It is capitalism. If you want to change it vote for left wing parties, otherwise shut up.
@@raymonddixon7603 I will vote for all the socialists and communists candidates. Hopefully your country will become a marxist one, and you will not be able to have useless toys.
You should read "Das capital", it may educate you.
@@Elaphe472 You misunderstand me Ela. I totally agree with you. I vote to the left all the time. What I am trying to get across is that people complain in "rich" countries about not being well off but STILL vote for right wing parties and expect a change.
So basically the US is by far the richest country considering this is per capita and the US has 330 million people.
Advantages of having the dollar as the currency of trade.
Take a look around your city. 🤣
Wealth is all about everything around you; how it appears and functions socially and environmentally.
Overall yes but the average individual in the countries above it are richer....that's what really counts.
The problem for the U.S. is how unevenly the wealth is spread. A small number of individuals holds most of the money and power. Which again establishes a multi layer economy where what benefits the wealthy and powerful (like low taxes and low minimum wages) are to the majority's disfavor. But the rich doesn't have to worry about it, cause they can afford the best education for their children, getting them into Ivy League schools and universities - condition for the top jobs in the most prestigious and best paying banks and law firms. Children of ordinary Americans need scholarships and finish near the top of their class to have the same opportunities. That way the ruling class -- the rich - secure the best minds of the lower classes are working for, and with them, not against them, by selling the lie that anyone can make it as long as they work hard enough. The truth is that anyone can compete for the limited number of Ivy League university places available through scholarships, and even fewer top paying jobs after graduation. Namely those who are left after the rich people's own children and children of friends have been given theirs.
Improving the general level of education (even health care) is against the interest of the rich since then their children would lose or reduce the head start of an Ivy League education (and there would be tougher competition for the best doctors and nurses, creating the risk private health care would not be better than more affordable health care as a consequence.). Lower minimum wages, on the other hand, enables even those rich enough for the top layer to afford a range of servants and helps around them. So for them low taxes, low public spending and low minimum wages secure a privileged life, money and influence for them and their children.
For the other groups it is totally opposite. Higher minimum wages increases both spending and tax revenue. The latter, if spent to improve general education and health care, plus the affordibility of higher education - say making higher education possible for all the children of a family, not just one, and the others dependent on getting scholarships - would reduce the highest costs for most families, enabling higher education and better health care (a better informed population with a broader range of skills to contribute to society), likely making people live both longer, healthier and contributing more to society.
The fact more than 90% of Americans don't vote Democratic, speaks loudly about how many Americans live with a dream of becoming rich, and therefore want the privileges for the wealthy to remain as they are, instead of looking at their, and their family's, situation as it is now, and try to improve it by getting both GDP, spending and tax revenue increased by raising minimum wages and increasing taxes for the rich. Which again would enable more affordable education and health care for all, allowing American families to spend what priviously went to college funds to be spent on other things. And no longer had to stay in a job they hated because it came with a great health insurance for them and their family. The average American would be so much better off if they voted according to what benefitted them most now, and not a pipe dream where they suddenly got mega rich.
Macau so funny 2019 😅
Where is Russia and China in these ratings?
They are too poor for this list.
My country is the UK
Sorry for your troubles
All of north Europe used to be as rich but then Norway and Denmark left Sweden and Finland in the dust 😐
Argentina been green all the time... LOL
Where is the 3rd largest economy India??? They were telling me they were the 3rd richest country in the world
Tax havens are the most productive economies, it seems.

They had to beg the UK for a loan a few years ago to stop them going bankrup.
@@mrfrisky6501 the UK is going under ffs 🤣
@morningstar4789 under where? - isnt the UK economy now stronger than both France and Germany- the only countries in the EU with any money? - think you have been watching the MSM kid
@@mrfrisky6501
We did NOT have to beg the UK for the loan in 2010 and we would not have become like bankrupt Greece had that loan not been granted. The small £3.25 bn loan was part of the much bigger €85 bn EU bailout package. The EU would have lent us the money, had the UK not been forthcoming. The £3.25 bn was paid back with interest almost three years ago now. The loan was in the UK's interest for trade and investment reasons and to prevent possible contagion spreading from British banks in Ireland to the UK. As an investment, it was an excellent move on behalf of the British government since the UK's trade surplus with Ireland jumped from just over £10 bn in 2010 to £25.5 bn in 2022 - by far the UK's biggest trade surplus in Europe and equivalent to almost half of the UK's trade surplus with the US, the world's biggest economy.
@tmunnelly that's some copy and paste just to say thank you- your welcome by the way.

How did Ireland get so rich???
I’m going to wait for the usual crew to join and tell you that Ireland is in fact poor.
Just wait and see😁
Probably tiny population has something to do with it.. just guessing
Taxation policies encouraging multinationals (esp US) to incorporate there, so not reflective of average individual wealth in the country.

Investment in education over several decades has been one of the key ingredients to our success. Ireland did very well in the 2023 OECD PISA rankings in academic performance for high school students. In reading, we came second after Singapore. Ireland is the EU country with the second highest percentage of adults with a third level qualification, after Luxembourg. Furthermore, in 2022 Ireland was ranked 8th in the world in the UN Human Development Index - in 2019, we even came neck and neck with Switzerland, in second place after Norway. According to Ireland's Central Statistics Office, net household wealth in Ireland is now just over €1 trillion, the highest it has ever been, even higher than during the Celtic Tiger era.

Ireland richer than the UK???
More than twice as rich. Ireland overtook UK in GDP/ capita (per capita get it !) in 1996. In terms of GDP UK is way, way, way, way bigger than Ireland. Again you wouln't think it from my personal bank balance.
Of course it is. You only have to visit to see, but it does not have many food banks unfortunately!!!
Now look at the net wealth of your mean citizen. You can have a very wealthy Country where the average/mean citizen is incredibly poor. Wealth disparity is huge in Countries like Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Meanwhile Qatar that basically has slaves:
Per capita is no longer parameter to determine which is richest country, now there is GDP/PPP or purchasing power parity
Incorrect. Norway has been the wealthiest country per capita for most of the two last decades, thanks to the Norwegian Pension Fund, which is the official name for it these days. To include Luxembourgh and Switzerland - where most of the GDP is foreign deposits in bank accounts - is kind of ridiculous.
Wealthiest thanks to the oil!
That one little country in south america near the top right that started out in the darkest red, and at 2025 turned green 💪
The difference is the so-called eight nations above America combined have about the population of only one good size American state. This is Apples and Oranges via comparison.
You think Ireland is a so-called nation? Interesting. Would you be interested in a free car?
San Marino and Qatar so high yet poorest at football ⚽

Doubt
Its interesting to me how much of a gap there is between the top 10 countries and the rest in GDP in 2026. Though its clear that GDP is not a accurate measure of wealth, when you see Ireland ranked 2nd and Denmark 10th or the US 9th and Canada 20th and Switzerland twice as high as Germany, with the UK ahead of Finland but with less than half the GDP of Ireland.
If you experience living in these countries you would know that it is far better to live in Denmark, Canada, Finland and New Zealand than the ranking suggest. While Ireland the US, the UK and Israel seem a bit overrated. GDP does not measure standard of living, well-being, comfort, security, happiness, infrastructure, technology, corruption, peace, unemployment, education or financial growth, so I do not agree it is a correct measurement of richness.
The US outside of the Deep South and Appalachia is on par with all of Western Europe.
The key map is also a racism map.

Where is Russia it has the biggest economy in Europe. GDP means nothing . Russian GDP based on production most western GDP based on consuming and market manipulation . And let’s not forget the debt . America debt far exceeds their GDP
Silly chart
American household consumption is 60% of their GDP . American household debt is 78% of their GDP . America is bankrupt and will eventually lose the dollar .
