The most humble president.
Former Uruguayan President Jose Mujica from 2010-2015 is known for living a very modest life. He kept ten percent of his $ 12 presidential salary - $ 500 - for his living, and spent the rest on charity and social projects. During his presidency, his biggest purchase was an old Volkswagen Beetle for $ 1250.
Despite being president, he renounced presidential palaces and lived on an old farm near the capital. .
