There is Humility in Service: Meet the world's poorest President

This is 77 years old President José Mujica, of Uruguay who has earned himself  an enviable reputation as the "poorest," or the "most generous," president in the world. He is nicknamed, "el presidente mas pobre" which means " poorest president". He has been president of Uruguay since March 1, 2010

In a recent interview with him, the President said the only big item he owns is his Volkswagen Beetle car, valued at $1,945 dollars (about N308,283) . He earns a salary of $12,500 a month (N1,981,250), but only keeps $1,250(N198,125) for himself, donating the rest to charity. He has no bank accounts, no debts, and he enjoys the companionship of his dog, Manuela. When his term is over, the President hopes to rest even more peacefully in his farmhouse where he lives along with his senator wife, Lucía Topolansky who also donates part of her salary to charity and his inseparable dog.

It was also reported that under his stewardship, Uruguay has become known for low levels of corruption. The South American country ranks as the second least corrupt

country in Latin America in Transparency International’s global corruption index.

The last president that I know who retired to his farm, is still raking in millions/month!!!
