Meet Uruguay’s Jose Mujica – “The Poorest President in the World” [Video]

A brief but inspiring look at the president of Uruguay – the alleged “poorest president in the world”. He donates 90% of his salary (a meager $12,000 monthly) to charity, owns a three-legged dog, and sleeps on a bare mattress. In an age where U.S. presidents spend the equivalent of Mujica’s annual salary on a single cross-country flight, ya gotta admire this guy.
