The rankings are based on each country's Gross Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. GDP is the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, and is usually calculated on an annual basis.
It includes all of private and public consumption, government outlays, investments and exports less imports that occur within a defined territory.

Is Bermuda considered to be in this list? I know that often it is not considered to be in the Carribbean, but the average income in Bermuda is about 20,000-30,000 U.S. per family....pretty impressive.

The comment about Bermuda is worth some thought. I think by looking at the countries on this list that it portrays the richest independent countries in the Caribbean. Bermuda's citizens are undoubtably very wealthy but are not independent. The same applies for the Cayman Islands.
On another note, I am from Trinidad. There are certainly more wealthy people in Trinidad, and many times over that in Bermuda. But there are also some very poor people. All the figure represents in an average of the rich and the poor as well as the resources being exploited.
And what about the French Caribbean ? Indeed, Martinique and Guadeloupe have a GDP per capita that reaches 20 000 US$ !
i am from the bahamas and i think it is fine how it is and maybe the french caribean arent there because their under the french
I highly doubt that people in Trinidad have a higher income than people in Bermuda. Even though Bermuda is not in the Caribbean it ranks third above other countries GDP. So obviously Bermuda tops Trinidad and other Caribbean country.
Bermuda is not part of the Caribbean, so no point in having that discussion.
trinidad and tobago is now the richest country in the caribbean because obama and 32 other leaders came to the island for the 5th and most likely last summit of americas
What about the British Virgin Islands does this ranking only apply to Dependant countries?
"Bermuda is not part of the Caribbean" ok then, so neither is the Bahamas. For those who haven't been here, geographically, no Bermuda is not in the Caribbean, however, culturally, politically,and ethnicity, Bermuda is very much Caribbean.
