GDP per capita is often considered an indicator of a country's standard of living; [1] [2] however, this is inaccurate because GDP per capita is not a measure of personal income. Measures of personal income include average wage, real income, median income, disposable income and GNI per capita.

This is a list of country subdivisions by gross domestic product (nominal and PPP) per capita in the world, ordered by GDP per capita. Entries are limited to those entities exceeding 50,000 U.S. dollars. Those subdivisions which are the largest (in GDP per capita terms) in their respective countries are shown in bold.
On the whole, PPP per capita figures are less spread than nominal GDP per capita figures. [5] The rankings of national economies over time have changed considerably; the economy of the United States surpassed the British Empire's output around 1916, [6] which in turn had surpassed the economy of the Qing dynasty in aggregate output decades earlier.
