Wikipedia quotes the IMF ($47,440) the World Bank ($46,716) and the CIA World Factbook ($46,900) as the per capita GDP for 2008. The average of these three numbers is $47,019.

The US Census Bureau reported the median household income in the US for 2007 was $50,233. A figure is not yet available for 2008.
