Worlds Richest Governments. We know the worlds richest man is Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico, After the two richest men in the world , Bill Gates n Warrent Buffet ,gave away most of their fortune to charity ) Youll have to check with Forbes for the rest. How about governments? Which government is the richest (having most money that is, in US$)? If you are expecting North American and European nations, wrong ......... While the countries may look rich, wealthy European nations cant withstand a prolonged major financial crisis, just like Greece. The USA might have the biggest economy, but the American government is not at all rich; (in fact, it cant even take out US$150bn if asked to now without resorting to borrowing.) To date the US government has borrowed $14.5 trillion! The UK, likewise, while the country/people are well off, the government isnt. The UK governments debt stands at $9 trillion now!
