10 Well-Known Nations That Are Poorer Than Whatsapp


BANGALORE: Whatsapp has become a part of our everyday lives, where lovers hail it and parents hate it. It is such an easy way to message that most of us cannot live without it, I mean speaking irrationally. This app that was the idea of a genius has given people around the world instant connection across boundaries of water and sky. Well Facebook recently closed the acquisition deal for the app and it costs them $22 billion. Now that’s a lot of money.

Well the shocking part though is that the price of whatsapp is more than the total GDP of certain countries. Well here is a list of some of these countries.
