Its revealed, The worlds top 10 Richest countries. How did they get rich? What did they do to get rich? Is there any new comers? Anyone got knocked off top 10?

10. Brazil. $1,067,962 million (£0.53trillion).
The only southern hemisphere country to appear in this list. Rich in mining and agriculture. Exports a lot of shoes, cars and corned beef.

9. Spain. $1,223,988 million (£0.61trillion).
Has the second largest tourism industry in the world - go to Benidorm and watch it - and has thriving agriculture.

8. Canada. $1,251,463million (£0.63trillion).
Rich in oil and trees, Canada is the world's largest producer of zinc and uranium. Also, has plenty of diamonds.

7. Italy. $1,844,749million (£0.92trillion).
Is divided between a rich north, and poorer agrarian south. Has a large base of small to medium-sized companies, concentrating on high end performance - think Ferrari.

6. France. $2,230,721million (£1.11trillion).
A very productive country, with some 2.5 million registered companies. But will declining prospects for France's youth see it slip down this list in years to come?

5. United Kingdom. $2,345,015million (£1.17trillion).
Phew! The UK has beaten the French. Alongside New York and Tokyo, London is a major hub for international business. Which comes as welcome news since its manufacturing industry has gone down the very tubes it once made.

4. China. $2,668,071million (£1.33trillion).
Due to its large labour force, and a stunning lack of regulations around how they work, China has forged ahead in terms of manufacture. There are three films and one TV series entitled: 'Made in China'.

3. Germany. $2,906,681million (£1.45trillion).

Rats! The UK has lost to Germany, which has a large export market for cars, chemicals and machinery. High rates of unemployment contradict Germany's placing on this list.

2. Japan. $4,340,133million (£2.17trillion).
Prides itself on banking, and a manufacturing industry famous for its high workmanship and technological advance. There is one film entitled: 'Made in Japan'.

1. United States. $13,201,819million ($6.6trillion).
No surprises for predicting the leader of this top 10. An abundance of natural resources and a lack of unions means the country is well-placed to stay at the top.
