TOP RICHEST ACCORDING TO SERENADE&CIA BOOK
Top 10 Richest Countries in the World
by Alex on June 3rd, 2008
oil rigWith the price of oil soring, I thought it would be interesting to look at the 10 richest countries in the world and which ones can thank oil for their hefty pockets. This list is according to The CIA World Factbook and is based on per capita GDP.
10)Ireland-$45,600
9)United States-$46,000
8)Singapore-$48,900
7)United Arab Emirates-$55,200 (oil money has built a booming economy)
6)Kuwait-$55,300 (oil)
5)Norway-$55,600 (oil plays a big role)
4)Jersey-$57,000 (no not New Jersey but WTF??)
3)Bermuda-$69,900
2)Qatar-$75,900 (oil and jesus that’s a lot!)
1)Luxembourg-$80,800
So among the 10 wealthiest countries in the world, oil plays a big factor in 4 of them and plays about the only factor in the cases of Kuwait and Qatar. Most of the countries are relatively small in population and/or size.
If you’re wondering what the hell Jersey is (I know I was), it’s a small island in the English Chanel that used to be part of the UK.
The world’s wealthiest country, Luxembourg, owes their riches primarily to banking.
The United States is far and away the largest country on the list, in both population and land area. You could fit every other country on the list into the United States 5 times and still have room to spare.

List of the 100 wealthiest people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of billionaires)
This list of the 100 wealthiest people is a list of the world's 100 wealthiest people as of February 11, 2008, based on each person's total net worth. The total net worth is an estimate measured in United States dollars, based on the closing stock prices of the stock exchanges on which each person's company is listed, and exchange rates on February 11, 2008. Stock prices are defined as shares of ownership in a corporation, and exchange rates are defined as how much one currency is worth in terms of another. This list only represents each person's valuation on a single day due to daily fluctuations among exchange rates and stock valuations.
