I looked at the per capita GDP figures for 2025, and honestly, it's crazy to see the gap. The 50 poorest countries in the world are really in extreme situations. South Sudan is at $251 per person, it's barely believable. Right next to it, Yemen at $417, Burundi at $490... most of these countries are in Sub-Saharan Africa.

What struck me is that even among the 50 poorest countries in the world, you see huge variations. Like the DRC is at $743, but Nigeria is already at $807. And then you have countries like Nepal or Cambodia that reach around $2,800–$2,900. It really shows the differences in economic development.

Haiti at $2,672, Bangladesh at $2,689... these figures remind you that for a large part of the planet, it's really tough economically. The 50 poorest countries in the world account for millions of people with limited access to resources. It's something to follow if you want to understand global inequalities.
