Tokyo: by far, the largest in the world. Comparable to Britain and Brazil, 6th and 7th largest GDP in the world. Osaka, very impressive as well;

New York: US$ 66,100 per capita. Very very impressive for a such large area;

For London, I had to use the whole Southeast England as its metro area definition. Although too large for European standards, it fits perfectly with the US CSA definitions. GDP per capita: US$ 47,100. Weak pound flattened London's GDP;

Los Angeles at "only" US$ 49,600 is way behind the Bay Area. Except for the Detroit and Miami, is the lowest amongst the US metro areas over 5 million people;

São Paulo with a very impressive US$ 23,000 per capita. Higher than developed countries like Portugal and Taiwan. By far, the largest economic hub of Latin America;

Moscow at US$ 24,000. The highest GDP per capita considering BRICS metro areas over 10 million people;

Mexico City GDP per capita (US$ 12,300) just above the national average and way behind Monterrey;

Shanghai (US$ 12,700) and Beijing (US$ 12,300) are behind the low-profile Tianjin (US$ 13,500). They are also far away from the BRICS competitors São Paulo and Moscow.
