World's Poorest President

Jose Mujica

The President of Uruguay, Jose Mujica has been dubbed by international media as 'The poorest Presidents in the world', to which he responded to:

"I'm not a poor President. Poor people are those who want more and more. Those who never have enough of anything. Those are the poor because they live in a never ending circle."

Jose Mujica's most valuable asset is a 1978 VW Beetle. He lives in a small farmhouse with his wife and a dog and donates a whooping 90% of his salary to charity!
