7 Richest Countries In The World. Surprise List. by MegMich(m): 11:45am On Sep 27, 2015
See the list:

1. Qatar – Richest Country in the World and in Asia


With a population of around 1.9 million and GDP equal to $182 Billion, Qatar is the world’s richest country. It lies in the Persian Gulf and it is a peninsula. It lies in the Middle East and is richest Arab country in the world. Saudi Arabia lies to its south. The economy of this country is entirely dependent on Petroleum as it contributes nearly 85% of export earnings.(Naija where are youu?)
Banking and Tourism are other areas where Qatar generates money. The current GDP of Qatar surpasses all the other countries in the world and is $102,768.69. Thus we can see that the size of the country does not matter when it comes to wealth and that even a small a nation can aspire to be the richest in the world
