Which countries are the top 10 richest countries in the world 2023. Check out the full list.

We all heard this old saying that money can’t buy happiness. But, the fact is having possession of a good amount of money can indeed give you a sense of happiness.  The reason behind this fact is that having less money can result in numerous negative feelings. Everything in the world costs money that’s why a lot of us want to live in a country that is rich and gives more earning opportunities.

If we talk about rich countries we have to take several parameters into consideration. You should note that just having a big economy doesn’t make a country rich. For example, India has an economy with a GDP of 3 trillion. However, the country is still full of poor people. The reason for this is its mammoth population.

The best and the most recognized method to measure a country’s richness is looking at its GDP Per Capita, or Gross Domestic Product per capita. This figure gives us an idea about how much money a country’s government has to spend on a single citizen. In this post, we will discuss the top richest country in the world 2023 based on GDP Per Capita
