Jose Alberto Mujica,Uruguayan
president is named as the world's poorest president due to his frugal
ways of living.His salary is $12000 a month but he gives away around 90
percent of his whole salary to charities,small entrepreneurs and people
living in hard conditions.
This brings the amount he lives on, approximately $800/month, to that of
the average Uruguayan’s.While that may be modest, he doesn’t feel poor.
Mujica believes it’s not what one has, but having an endless craving
more, that makes one poor.
He left the Presidential Mansion to
continue to live in his modest house on a dirt road in a rural area
outside Montevideo. He chooses to have a simple lifestyle, he says, so
he has time to live how he wants to live.
