Top Stocks To Buy For 2014

The United States is a wealthy nation when compared to the rest of the world. Based on per-capita GDP at purchasing-power parity, America ranks as the third-richest country among the world's top 50 economies, and its economic power can be felt around the globe. The U.S. is a diverse nation, however, and not all of its states and territories are alike in terms of riches. Among America's states, where are people earning the most?

Taken from data provided by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis and based on 2011 state per-capita GDP in 2005 dollars, here are America's five wealthiest states and territories. While a few no-brainers make the list, some of the richest states may surprise you.

5: Wyoming, $55,516 per capita
It's hard to think of Wyoming as one of the wealthiest states in the country, but its citizens do well. In addition to ranking No. 5 in terms of GDP per capita, it's among the top 10 states by personal income per capita. Wyoming has seen its GDP decline recently, losing 1.2% in 2011 -- more than any other U.S. state. While Wyoming's rank on this list owes partly to its tiny population -- it is the least populated state with just 576,000 people in 2012 -- its economy is no slouch.
