The GDP(Gross domestic product) per capita is a rough measure of how wealthy is the general population. Is not that accurate, a super small or large population can skew the results. They do it by taking the GDP which is what the whole country produced for whole year and they divided it by the population of the country. According to the 2019 United Nations GDP per capita, Somalia is the lowest in GDP per capita. Maybe it is not that accurate whats so ever but the whole point i want to show you is the gap is very large.
What I did was that I started from Somalia and I doubled the GDP per capita, 1, 2, 4, 16, and so on and so forth. The pictures are the capital cities except the United states, You can see the development happening as per capita gets larger. We are so far behind that just to reach a basic country in Latin america will take a couple decades.
