How rich is Qatar? Why spend more than $200 billion for a World Cup?

According to the exchange rate and the rise and fall of oil prices, GDP per capita is $80,000. Qatar has a population of about 3 million, of which 330,000 are 11% Qatari citizens and 2.67 million non-citizens account for 89%.

If you don't count migrant workers, Qatar's GDP this year is estimated to exceed $220 billion, so the per capita GDP will exceed $600,000, which is a very scary figure.

To put it bluntly, there is too much money, there is no place to spend it, find a reason to make money.
