According to the World Bank’s 2014 World Development Report, T&T isn’t the richest country in the Caribbean—not even close. That honour goes to the Bahamas, with a GDP per capita of $21,280, followed by Puerto Rico, which has a GDP per capita of around $18,000. T&T is third in those rankings at $14,400, followed by St Kitts and Nevis, which, despite being the smallest country in the region, has a per capita GDP of about $13,30, according to the World Bank data.

Barbados is ranked as “high income,” meaning a GDP per capita of at least $12,616. Cuba is ranked as upper middle income—between $4,086 and $12,615. Aruba, Curacao, the Cayman Islands, St Maarten, St Martin and the Turks and Caicos Islands are ranked as high income. No data was released on the Dominican Republic or Haiti.
