have no idea where you get those info. according to CIA (2006) their GDP - per capita is only 23.100$.
according to wiki, kuwaiti GDP per capita is approximately 1/3 lower than in US and far below luxembourg (87.955$) or norway (72.306$).

Not in the least Kuwaiti's don't work because the are all rich.. And when I say they dont work.... THEY DONT WORK.

The only Kuwaitis who work are military (mandatory service) and prob a few oil negotiators. Everyone else is imported to do crummy jobs and prob makes 1/100th of what a mc donalds employee makes.

And I'm sorry I said they destroy the Dollar. That was false as exchange rates dont' mean everything. I just don't like having to give them 20 dollars american for 5 dinar.

GDP includes oil and natural gas production. Even if they are "rich" because of the unpumped reserves, they still can't spend it until its produced and sold.

Another source says the average annual salary is $60k, however, which doesnt fit with a $23k GDP per capita.

There is a statistical disconnect somewhere.
