Former President of Uruguay, Jose Mujica, was once considered the poorest and most humble leader in the world.

Mujica took office in March 2010 but never moved into the Presidential Palace in Uruguay’s capital of Montevideo. Instead, he lived on his wife’s farm surrounded by the family dogs.

All through his stay in office as president of Uruguay, Mujica received a monthly salary of roughly $12,000. From this, he lived on $800 only, which is roughly equivalent to an average Uruguayan’s income. The rest of the money, he gave away to local charities.

Although Mujca is no longer president, he created a legacy not only in his country, but also in the world at large–a legacy that suggests that presidents are not kings, but lowly civil servants, and as such, they should behave.
