Uruguay’s Jose world’s poorest president

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 18 November 2012 | 21.50

LONDON: Uruguayan president Jose Mujica has been dubbed as the 'poorest president' in the world, as he lives on a ramshackle farm and is known for giving away 90% of his earnings to charity.

The charismatic 77-yearold has refused to adapt his lifestyle to embrace the trappings of power that come with being the country's figurehead , and instead continues to live at the farm situated a few miles away from the country's capital Montevideo . The only sign the country's leader is at home are the pair of police officers who stand at the end of his heavily tractor-rutted dirt track.

According to the paper, Mujica gives 90% of his monthly salary, the equivalent of £7,500, away to charity leaving him with just £485 a month to live off. The parttime farmer's proudest and most valuable possessions are his tired-looking Volkswagen Beetle and his threelegged dog Manuela. He gets water from a well and his laundry goes to a washing line outside instead of a tumble dryer.
