> So which is it? How can the USA be the richest country in the world if Norwegians make more money?
Norwegians make $62,767 per year per capita on average.[1]
Americans make $49,965 per year per capita on average.[1]
So an average Norwegian makes $12,802 more every year.
You know that Norway is a pretty small country compared to the USA : 5 millions inhabitants vs 300 millions.
That is you should try simple maths :
5,000,000 * 62,757
300,000,000 * 49,965
I'm pretty sure the second result will be slightly bigger.
