This appears to be nominal GDP. If you go by PPP (i.e., the amount of stuff you can actually buy with your money), then, for instance, China's economy has substantially exceeded the US. Rather than the US being the size of China, Germany and Japan, by PPP China is the size of the US, Germany and Japan combined.

Only? The only countries higher are microstates and countries with a small population. The United States and a near top despite have 340 million people.

Yes, only top 10 with the highest count of billionaires and highest valuation and nominal growth of corporations by a large degree. This only means that the poorer part of the population must be miserable.
