Ranked: Richest Countries by GNI (nominal) per capita, 2025

Monaco Ville in Monaco

Monaco claims the title of the richest country in the world by GNI (nominal) per capita, boasting an impressive figure of $168,000 in 2025. Liechtenstein confidently follows in second place, with a GNI (nominal) per capita of $116,600.

The United States is also notable, with a GNI (nominal) per capita of $83,660, with a population of more than 10 million. Noticeably, many of the top spots are held by small countries with specialized financial services sectors, also known as offshore financial centers.

The gross national income (GNI) of a nation is a definitive measure of total income, calculated by adding the gross domestic product (GDP) to the net income from foreign sources. Also known as the gross national product (GNP), GNI stands as a comprehensive benchmark for a country’s income from both domestic and international avenues. In contrast, GDP only accounts for the income generated within a nation’s borders by any entity. In essence, GNI provides an accurate assessment of a nation’s overall income, while GDP focuses strictly on production occurring within the country. So, what are the “richest” countries in the world?
