Wouldn't if be great if more heads of state were like this one?
Meet José Mujica. He may look like your average farmer or grandfather, but he is anything but.
This man is globally known as the world’s “poorest President” because he lives a life of humility… all while leading the country of Uruguay.
As a man who truly cares about his people, he doesn’t take an obscene amount of money to just act as a politician.
He donates about 90% of his $12,000 monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs.
