Try GDP per capita PPP, the measure that matters for average living conditions
When your first attempt at dropping a random statistic gets blown out of the water -- try shifting the goalposts.
I bet you had to look it up as well. I bet you had to go out there, and confirm that Ukraine, a country with 15x the population of Botswana, does indeed have a higher GDP.
To make your discussions easier and less embarrassing in the future, assume that 100 % of the time when someone speaks of GDP, they're speaking of GDP at purchasing power parity per capita.
