Did you know that the United States is the wealthiest country in the world?
In aggregate, sure; its somewhere between 5th-8th by per capita GDP, which is the more relevant comparison, depending on source.
But the UK isn’t even close to the US, or particularly near the top in Western Europe (which yas countries ahead of the US.)
