Wow! See The World’s Poorest President, And Find Out Which Country Here

He is commonly known as the world's "poorest"
president because of his austere lifestyle. It is
commonplace to see some presidents of countries
living lavish lifestyles, and in some extreme cases,
looting their countries' finances for personal gain.
But him.
He lives on a farm, and his official car is a 1987
Volkswagen Beetle. He donates 90% of his monthly
salary to charity. President of Uruguay, Jose Mujica,
is not your average president.
Mujica rejected the luxurious presidential residence
the government provided for him and instead opted
to live on his wife's farm located on a dirt road
outside the country's capital. They have no domestic
workers –
they do all the farm work by themselves. The only
staff they have are two police officers.
In 2010, his annual personal wealth
declaration – mandatory for officials in
Uruguay – was $1,800, the value of his
Beetle.
In an interview with BBC, he said:
"I've lived like this most of my life, I can live well with
what I have I'm called 'the poorest president', but I
don't feel poor. Poor people are those who only work
to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want
more and more.
This is a matter of freedom. If you don't have many
possessions then you don't need to work all your life
like a slave to sustain them, and therefore you have
more time for yourself…" Mujica also has unique
views about poverty alleviation. In the 2012 Rio+20
summit he stated: But what are we thinking? Do we
want the model of development and consumption of
the rich countries? I ask you now: what would happen
to this planet if Indians would have the same
proportion of cars per household than Germans?
How much oxygen would we have left? "Does this
planet have enough resources so seven or eight
billion can have the same level of consumption and
waste that today is seen in rich societies? It is this
level of hyper-consumption that is harming our
planet.
An Arab sheikh recently offered him $1
million for his Beetle. Mujica is currently considering
the offer, and says that if he does sell it, he will
donate the money to charity.
