A couple years ago I was researching this, I remember Switzerland per capita is wealthier. I can't remember any others though haha

Dubai might be per capita higher than the US... I'll look into this.

I was more confused about Ray's answer; don't think that many people making that kind of money have seen their income go down that much; savings perhaps. Sure, for some investment income will be their only income, but I doubt that they've lost it all?

Haven't lost till you sell.

I agree with you 100%.

My wife and I are in the same boat but without kids. I definitely agree that this does humble me a bit also, but I think the drive and determination to get to this point is what got us where we are today. So with that being said and seeing this list I am going to go ask for a pay raise.
