The poorest President in the world

President of Uruguay, José Mujica compatriots called «el presidente mas pobre» - «the poorest president".

77-year-old Mujica donates to charity almost all his presidential salary, making it the poorest (and most generous) president in the world.

Of the 12 500 that the president receives every month, it remains with only 1250 dollars. "I have quite enough of this money - says Mujica, - should be enough, because the incomes of many Uruguayans are much lower."

The president's wife - a senator, also donates a portion of their income.The couple live in a house on a farm in Montevideo. The largest individual purchase Mujica for all the time of his presidency was the "Volkswagen Beetle", worth 1945 dollars.
We Muhaki no bank accounts and no debt. The greatest pleasure he gives communion with his dog by the name of Manuel.
