I just looked at the GDP per capita statistics and am stunned by the results. South Sudan remains the poorest country in the world with a figure of only $251 per person. These are just wild numbers.



Next is Yemen ($417), Burundi ($490), and the Central African Republic ($532). Honestly, I didn't even imagine that the gap could be so huge. Malawi, Madagascar, Sudan—all of them are below $650. DRC and Niger barely exceed $750.

Africa clearly dominates this list, but it's interesting that Myanmar ($1,177), Tajikistan ($1,432), and Nepal ($1,458) are also there. Even India, with its population of a billion people, shows only $2,878 per capita.

The poorest country in the world—South Sudan—is a whole different story. When you see such figures, you start to understand the scale of global inequality. I wonder how people even live there with such an income per person.
