Welcome back to the game. So how do the top 0.1% of the world actually make more money than everyone else? Well, there's three layers and I'm going to start at the top, which is global. So let's dive in. How do the top 0.1% in the world actually make more money than everyone else? There's three layers. Let's start with layer one, global.
So if you zoom all the way out, the top 1% of countries in the world do things differently than the rest of them. And we can measure the productivity of a country by something called GDP, which is gross domestic product per capita. Now, the per capita part just means how much total production the economy does. So just think revenue, think sales, and then per capita is per person.
And so this allows us to normalize different countries that are big countries versus small countries and see how much the individual is making. Now, the reason this is so important and why we start at layer one global is because if you even out everything, you will be able to see the strongest levers on wealth creation because they're just done in aggregate.
And to be clear, within each country, of course, there are some people that get way more of that slice of the pie than others. But even at the global level, there are some countries that get more of the slice of the pie than other countries. And so, for example, the United States has the largest GDP in the world and Tuvalu has the smallest. Now, per capita, it shifts around.
Luxembourg is actually the country in the world that has the highest GDP per person, so 151,000. Now, I'll give you an example of number two, which is Singapore. They have the second highest GDP per capita and is also the home of Michael, who's our media director. And the reason they were able to do that is because they invest these countries in two major categories.
Number one is education, and number two is technology. And so if we think about this at a global level, which I think is important, is what are the inputs that every country has that's even? The inputs are time and bodies. And so at the very basic level, Anybody at all these countries at level zero can do menial labor, which is basically things that have required no skill to do.
So if I had a conveyor belt of switchboards and I had to plug two things in, another one comes in, I plug two things in, it's typically something that you can train someone to do in about five minutes. And then you're just basically having them trade their time and doing this very simple task repetitively.
Now, that is typically not valued nearly as highly as other skills, which is why countries will invest in technology and education. The education so that they have more skills, the technology to do three things. Technology does, number one, it allows you to do more of what you currently do.
So that switchboard person, if there wasn't a conveyor belt in front of them, wouldn't be able to do nearly as many of those things as someone who did. The second thing is that technology allows you to do what you can already do even better. And so think of both of those in terms of units of time, because remember, this is one of the key inputs that everybody has that's even.
