Uruguay President Pepe Mujica is famous for his austere lifestyle, and has been called the poorest head of state in the world. An Arab sheikh has offered to pay US$1 million for Mujica's 1987 VW beetle. At first Mujica thought it was a joke, but then decided to sell the car and use the money for one of the many social programs he funds with his salary. teleSUR
