Meet The World’s Poorest President, Jose Mujica

In a generation where you might think all politicians are ruling the world and continuously becomes rich and powerful by stealing money from its citizens, you may think that all of them are the same.  The story today proves otherwise as a man from the country of Uruguay who is globally known as “the poorest president” demonstrates that you can still rule a country by living your life in simplicity.

Here’s how Jose looks like (where it is also not uncommon that you see him dressed this way)

He spent most of his life fighting for his country
He was a Guerrilla leader in the mid 1960’s whom battled the war for the rights of his country’s citizen where he was also got imprisoned twice and shot 6 times
Instead of living at this presidential house, he chose to live in this simple farm.

He drives a 1987 VW beetle

He only has two guards positioned on his road. Along with his beloved 3-legged dog

Another fun fact is his salary is $12,000 per month (not bad) what’s great about it is that he donates 90% of it to charity to help his country.

This is a truly heartwarming story of a very inspiring president. I believe if our leaders would follow more of Jose’s example, the world would become a much better place.
