The fact that "the richest people on earth are from here" is because the USA is the worlds LARGEST CAPITALIST FUCKING COUNTRY. Nothing to do with the betterment of the world, actually, quite the contrary.
response part two:
Oh yeah, Americans have also been the world's cultural leaders for a long time now, in case any America-bashers' brains are foggy. We've got Hollywood, you don't. Most of the world's record companies and publishers are based here. New York City has been the world's art capital since the '40s.
