Top 10 countries with the richest residents and their GDP per capita..

2. Luxembourg / GDP Per Capita: $79,593.91

Luxembourg’s GDP, reported to be worth $62.3 billion, is only the 73rd largest in the world, but because the country’s population is less than 600,000, Luxembourg’s GDP per capita is astoundingly the second highest among all nations. Just how does this tiny country of 998 square miles do it? Indicators show that banking, the largest sector in Luxembourg’s economy, is mostly responsible for the Green Heart of Europe‘s prosperity. More specifically, cross-border banking has been largely responsible for allowing the average Luxembourger to enjoy a gross income of $56,021 annually. Also providing additional fuel to the nation’s economy are highly productive steel and industrial sectors.
