There’s even some interesting studies showing that due to working hours and inequality, Europeans are actually richer on average by hourly work than Americans. But if you look at GDP PPP per capita, the EU is lower than the US, which was my point in pointing out there are 100m more people in Europe. In 2026, the GDP per capita (PPP) for the European Union was approximately $67,957, while for the United States, it was about $94,430
