[WAKANDA] How does wakanda prosper with luxurious economy if it never shared it's natural resources with the world ?

This always confused me even in the comics.

(Lol its*)
gpt
1. lack of colonization prevented their natural resources from being plundered. 
2. vibranium allowed them to advance their tools faster than everyone else. 
3. their agriculture and crafts and medicine allowed for a higher standard of living, higher birth rate and child survival rate, allowing them to have and support the extra population to send out into the world for research, spycraft, and reconnaisance. (The War Dogs and other programs)
4. constant underestimation of Wakanda by western colonizer nations allowed them to move under the radar, allowing knowledge, technology, political secrets, and other resources to flow into wakanda, or else be utilized and invested in other nations, under identities not associated with the Panther's lands. 
5. using these resources, Wakanda was able to quietly build up funding in the outside world, aim colonizing forces at their neighbors or other countries, keep wars and profiteers from their lands, and bring any useful technology or technique home. 
6. spend six hundred years doing this, keeping the secret safe (by any means necessary), compounding interest, sacrificing other nations to the west in order to defend wakanda, and infiltrating anything and everything that might develop into a threat. 

By the time Wakanda announced its presence to the rest of the world, Wakanda is strong, yes. But still small, still relatively minor.
