With a GDP per capita almost twice as high as the average for the globe, the United States is one of the richest nations in the world.

Top 10 Richest States in the USA: With a GDP per capita almost twice as high as the average for the globe, the United States is one of the richest nations in the world. Although there is a significant disparity between different states within America itself, the majority of US states have GDPs that are significantly higher than most of the rest of the world. Some of the wealthier states, like California and New York, boast much greater wealth than much poorer ones, like Mississippi and West Virginia.

Because of this, even though America as a whole has a high level of wealth, not all states are equally rich; in fact, there is a big gap between those who earn more and those who have less money. So that all of America’s citizens can share in its wealth, it is crucial to acknowledge and resolve both the country’s general economic prosperity as well as its internal economic inequality.
