GDP = Wealth??

Well, your question is interesting.

Let's assume that GDP per capital is similar to what you called "wealth".

The GDP per capital in Hong Kong is US$ 25K (6 Millions)
The GDP per capital in Taiwan is US$ 15K

The GDP per capital in Guangdong is US$ 3K (50 Millions)
The GDP per capital in China Mainland is US$ 1.7K

It is difficult to estimate the GDP of oversea cantonese (14 Millions), but let's say they aer similar to what Hong Kong people earn.

So, the figure for all cantonese speakers is estimated as follows,
(20 x $25K + 50 x $3K)/70 = about US $9.3K per capita.

And I believe the GDP for Mandarin speakers (including oversea resident) should not exceed $2k per capita.
