Ranked: The World’s Richest Cities, 2024


Tokyo has topped a new list of the world’s richest cities for 2024, with the New York metropolitan area and Greater Los Angeles claiming the second and third spots. These 300 cities, including Paris, Seoul, Chicago, Shanghai, and Singapore, play a significant role in shaping the global economic narrative, especially in technology and finance.

It is intriguing to consider the factors that contribute to a city’s wealth. Is population the sole determinant, or does culture and innovation also play a part? Typically, a city’s wealth is measured by its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which takes into account the value of all goods and services provided in the area.

These cities are hubs of business, trade, and intricate networks where culture, technology, and innovation converge to create vast economies. With that in mind, here are the top 300 richest cities in the world based on GDP rankings.
