1. Macau (People’s Republic of China)

Projected 2016 GDP per capita, PPP: $109,466

Macau is the world’s most densely populated area. More than 600,000 people live on less than 12 square miles of land. Macau also takes the number one spot on this 20 richest cities in the world by 2016 GDP per capita list. It had the purchasing power parity-adjusted GDP per capita of $93,849 in 2014, but thanks to a whopping 8% GDP growth rate, that figure now stands at $109,466. Macau came back into Chinese possession in 1999 when Portugal finally ceded the peninsula in their favor. Chinese, however, allowed Macau to keep many of its autonomous aspects, and it seems to have worked.
