It does not have the highest GDP per capita (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29_per_capita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nom... and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29_per_capita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP...).
- lliiffee 17y agoThe only country above the US that isn't an oil exporter is Luxembourg, which has a population about %0.1 of the US-- its basically a single, medium/small city. I bet if Beverly Hills became its own country, the per capita GDP would also be impressive!
