Who told you that evrybody is rich overthere ?
The World Bank, that's who.
QATAR:
Population: 1,870,041 (2011) World Bank
GDP: 173 billion USD (2011) World Bank
SAUDI ARABIA
Population: 28,082,541 (2011) World Bank
GDP: 576.8 billion USD (2011) World Bank
SINGAPORE
Population: 5,183,700 (2011) World Bank
GDP: 239.7 billion USD (2011) World Bank
USA
Population: 311,591,917 (2011)
GDP: 15.09 trillion USD (2011) World Bank
UK
Population: 62,641,000 (2011) World Bank
GDP: 2.432 trillion USD (2011) World Bank
FRANCE
Population: 65,436,552 (2011) World Bank
GDP: 2.773 trillion USD (2011) World Bank
Taking the US definitions of Billion = 9 x 0's and Trillion = 12 x 0's, here's the per head of population figures PilotofDoha:
QATAR
USD$92,511
SAUDI ARABIA USD$20,539
SINGAPORE USD$46,241
USA USD$48,428
UK USD$38,824
FRANCE USD$42,376
You'd have to agree PilotofDoha that those figures show that Qataris seem to be doing pretty well for themselves.
