Poorest" president in the world donates 90% of salary to charity
Uruguayan President José Mujica, has earned the nickname of the “poorest,” or the “most generous,” president in the world
By LARA FERNANDEZ
Usually presidents are not associated with poverty. Some, like Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, are even linked to big spending and generous welfare programs.
But the President of Uruguay, José Mujica, has earned the nickname of the “poorest,” or the “most generous,” president in the world — depending on how you see things— after revealing that he donates 90 percent of his earnings, to charitable causes.
In a recent interview, Mujica told Spain’s El Mundo that he earns a salary of $12,500 a month, but only keeps $1,250 for himself, donating the rest to charity.
The president said that the only big item he owns is his VW car, valued at $1,945 dollars. The farmhouse in which he lives in Montevideo is under his wife’s name, Lucía Topolansky, a Senator, who also donates part of her salary.
“I do fine with that amount; I have to do fine because there are many Uruguayans who live with much less,” the president told El Mundo.
The 77-year-old Mujica is a former guerilla leader, who fought against Uruguay’s military regimes in the 1970s. He was also Minister of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries from 2005 to 2008 and afterwards, served as a senator.
Later on, as presidential candidate for the Broad Front, the left-wing coalition, Mujica won the 2009 election becoming Uruguay’s president on March 1, 2010.
Uruguay is the second smallest nation in South America by area, after Suriname. However it is one of the most developed countries on the continent, with a GDP per capita of $15,656. That’s less than half of United States’ GDP per capita, but it triples earnings in Honduras which has a GDP per capita of just $4,345.
Under Mujica’s 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.
Uruguay also made it to the world cup 2010 semi-finals while Mujica was in office, and the country won the South American Soccer championships in 2011, stunning tournament hosts Argentina, in a memorable performance by striker Diego Forlan.
It seems therefore, that it’s a good time to be Jose Mujica.
Without bank accounts, and with few debts, Mujica told El Mundo that he sleeps peacefully. When his term is over, the President hopes to rest even more peacefully in his farmhouse, along with his wife and his inseparable dog, Manuela.

This truly good President must be sent for a psychiatrist examination. He is acting strange by today's standards.

He has no place in today's world where even millionaire politicians are lamenting everyday, "Money No Enough".

Maybe his years of fighting for the poor as a guerilla leader may have dulled his mind and made him act stange.

He may have become incapable of understanding his own move.

Lets be honest....No one cares for the poor today. The poor can go to hell.......They are liabilities.........

Don't we have 80 years old cleaners collapsing in toilets and sickly old men still working today - earning miserable dollars by the hour?

This divine old man don't fit into today's society.

He seems to be a FREAK and could possibly be an ANGEL in disguise. Worst still he may be an ALIEN.......

Forummers should write to his humble office and tell him to follow the good example of other leaders who want more and give zero to charities.

Of course we have exceptions like a certain new People's President going to a supermarket (escorted by bosees) and making purchases for the poor.

Senor' Jose Mujica, you are acting strange. Please wake up from your slumber and face reality.

Do what other politicians are doing and enjoy your miserable $12,000 that you are receiving per month.

We Do Not Want your KINDNESS to become an epidemic and change society for the better.

We love the present way that we are living. Keep your disease to yourself in complete isolation.
