The world’s poorest president

Jose Mujica, lives on his wife’s farm and owns a 1987 Volkswagen. He gives away about 90 percent of his salary.

Mujica was a Tupamoros guerrilla. He was shot six times and spent 14 years in jail. But he is not without criticism.

“The Uruguayan opposition says the country's recent economic prosperity has not resulted in better public services in health and education, and for the first time since Mujica's election in 2009 his popularity has fallen below 50%.”
