I looked at the per capita GDP figures for 2025, and it's really striking to see the gap between countries. The poorest countries are heavily concentrated in Africa and South Asia. South Sudan ranks first with only $251 per person, followed by Yemen at $417 and Burundi at $490. It's crazy when you think about what this number actually means for daily life.



Looking at the list, we see that the world's poorest countries face enormous economic challenges. the DRC, Niger, Somalia, Nigeria... all below $850. And even further down the list, countries like Haiti, Bangladesh, or India remain well below $3,000. It really puts global inequalities into perspective.
