Taking into consideration that a lot of the other countries are eastern block or 3rd world.......I would say that we are pretty low.

bear in mind that it is GDP per capita.

a lot of rich ******** have homes in luxembourg, bermuda and san marino

Yes, remember some countries are simply used as 'tax havens' for very rich people to stash their wealth and not necessarily spend all their time living there.

Ah! A bit like Robert Kilroy Silk?

The only thing about things like this poll is that they don't actually mean anything... apart from being a world wide pi**ing contest. There are some parts of this country that extremely poor, and some that are very rich... it only matters how well off YOU are, not your country. Some people live in America, the second richest country, and don't have running water or health care... i wonder how rich they feel?

Angora, IOM, Jersey the list goes on, certainly not just celebrities who take advantage of no-domiciled residencies.

A little like sending uk manufacturing abroad to save on expenditure.

Right or wrong, it happens.

New York and London being 2 of the richest patches of turf.

Swap that for a set of beads please.

I was surprised at Aruba, I have to admit.
15. Aruba $27384.11 per person = 15th richest, richer than The Netherlands, its "mother country".
