U.S. vs. Dubai Wealth: GDP per Capita vs. Median Income

By GDP per capita (2022 IMF), the U.S. ($69,288) edges out Dubai ($58,564).

By median household income, Dubai ($103,368) surpasses the U.S. ($70,784).

Caveats: Averages mask inequality; Dubai's cost of living is higher, reducing purchasing power. "Richer" depends on metric and context.
