Rich and happy? Money doesn't buy happiness, but it helps. Thus, there is a fairly close correlation between per capita income and happiness in a country, according to VisualCapitalist, although there are exceptions.

ANSWER

Costa Rica. The Central American country has a score of 6.6 on the World Happiness Index. It is followed by Uruguay and Panama. Globally, Northern European countries top the list, with Finland in the lead, followed by Denmark and Iceland. The highest scores on the happiness ranking tend to coincide with the highest levels of wealth in these countries, although this is not always the case. Latin American countries generally have higher scores on the happiness index than would be expected based on their levels of wealth or social inequality.
