Top 5 richest cities in the World (based on GDP, personal earnings, purchasing power), and 3 of them are in the United States. Tokyo and New York just dominate and are well ahead of the others.
I guess the Vatican, is it a city or country, doesn't make the list because of no GDP. I think if net worth were the measurement it might make the top five.

Great list! As an American, I'm of course proud to see our Big Three cities up there. And since I'm half French I'm also tickled to see that Paris is up there, although I believe London is supposed to surpass Paris by 2020.
No, New York is the financial capital of the world.
Don't go confusing financial matters and GDP. If they were parallel, then Los Angeles wouldn't be in there, right? That being said, the one city that isn't listed, but IS the financial capital- is London.
I do not believe for a second that Chicago has a larger GDP than London.
