President of Uruguay donates 90 percent of his salary to charity

The president said that the only big item he owns is his VW car, valued at $1,945 dollars. The farmhouse in which he lives in Montevideo is under his wife’s name, Lucía Topolansky, a Senator, who also donates part of her salary.

"I do fine with that amount; I have to do fine because there are many Uruguayans who live with much less," the president told El Mundo.
