Hahaha! Europe’s “great” cities are poorer than Omaha and Des Moines.
Yes you guys have better national debt carrying capacity than the Europeans.
Wait, what is the per capita GDP of Omaha excluding Warren Buffet?
Finally!!
I really wanted to point out it. Omaha would be out of 100 if warren Buffett wasn't there. He's $148 B and when I checked there are only two more billionaires with roughly $3.5 Billion between them.
Somewhat surprised that more Asian cities aren't on the list.
You heard of "more than half the population of the world lives in Asia"..
This is about GDP per person.
But we're also talking about specific cities. I would've thought Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai are higher on the list.
How cities are defined will matter a lot for something like this. I wouldn’t expect any of those to make the cut.
Yes I agree.
I also think that some asian cities are actually much more wealthy by GDP per person as they are not as costly to live in as do the cities in the west.
I can understand Switzerland, but what's going on in Dublin?
Here was I thinking New York will top the list
