> So which is it? How can the USA be the richest country in the world if Norwegians make more money? Norwegians make $62,767 per year per capita on average.[1] Americans make $49,965 per year per capita on average.[1] So an average Norwegian makes $12,802 more every year. You know that Norway is a pretty small country compared to the USA : 5 millions inhabitants vs 300 millions. That is you should try simple maths : 5,000,000 * 62,757 300,000,000 * 49,965 I'm pretty sure the second result will be slightly bigger.
