Politicians are often displayed as corrupt, greedy, individuals who act selfishly, and don't whole heartedly to improve the living conditions of society. Well, José Mujica, the current president of Uruguay is a politician who isn't so bad after all.
José Mujica is known for donating around 90% of his $12,000 monthly salary to charities benefitting poor people, as well as to young entrepreneurs. José Mujica spent a large chunk of his life working as a farmer, and knows what it is like to live below the poverty line - so he does anything he can to help.
José Mujica not only donates a huge chunk of his salary, but he drives a very old, aging, Volkswagen Beetle. On a global scale, José Mujica has also been described as the world's poorest President.
He may be the poorest, but he may also be the most caring president.
