A little bit unusual of a map – GDP purchasing power parity is usually shown on a per capita basis (meaning per person) to explain how far a person’s money actually goes in their local economy compared to the country’s actual GDP number priced in dollars.
So if you wanna look at how wealthy someone is able to live, the PPP per capita number makes a lot of sense, but if you want to compare countries by total wealth, the regular GDP number is the one to use. This map is neither of those.
