Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvadore, has a new strategy to combat the rising gang violence on the contrary. 

In a Twitter post, he talked about a peace negotiation and turning the gangs into a political party as the Salvadoran Army worked its way around dismantling the camp in recent weeks.

Nayib Bukele Net Worth

As of 2022, the estimated net worth of politician Nayib Bukele is 500 thousand dollars. 

Initially, he was on his way to becoming one of the top businessmen in El Salvador as he served as the director and president of OBERMET in 2011.

New ambitions came in 2012, as he got elected mayor of Nuevo Cuscatlán, representing the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front. 

He quickly became a local favorite when he provided all adults of Nuevo Cuscatlán over 55 with a monthly basket to cover basic needs, prevented homicides, and gave scholarships, to name a few.

So, it was not a surprise when he won the seat of the mayor of San Salvador, but the party was growing jealous of his popularity.

In 2018, he established his party Nuevas Ideas (NI), as he participated in the 2019 presidential election. 

Sadly, the Supreme Electoral Court dissolved the party, forcing Bukele to shake hands with Grand Alliance for National Unity. 

Ultimately, he won the election with an overwhelming 53 percent of the vote as he remains one of the highest approval-rated politicians in the nation. 

Early Life And Childhood

Nayib Bukele was born as Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez on 24th July 1981, as he is 40 years old.

Growing up in San Salvador, El Salvador, he is the son of Armando Bukele Kattán, a businessman and religious leader, and his wife, Olga Ortez de Bukele.

His lineage is rather complex as his paternal grandparents were Palestinian Christians, his maternal grandmother was Catholic, and his maternal grandfather was Greek Orthodox.

Indeed, his father crafted his path when he converted to Islam and became an imam, an Islamic leader. 

Despite the turbulent situations at home, he continued his studies when he enrolled at the Central American University, where he sought a law degree.

But destiny had other plans as he never completed his education and became an entrepreneur at 18. The company, Yamaha Motors El Salvador, made national headlines as it personly sold and distributed Yamaha products

Does Nayib Bukele Have A Wife Or Partner?

Nayib Bukele is blissfully married to his wife Gabriela Rodríguez, a psychologist and educator, as they walked down the aisle in 2014.

Their first and only child was born during his presidency in August 2019. 

She was an integral part of the campaign during the election run as her reputation preceded herself. 

Indeed, she was the first person in El Salvador to hold a doctorate in prenatal psychology and operated as the founder of PrePare, the country’s first center of prenatal teaching.

Also, she is a professional ballet dancer and functions under the Fundación Ballet of El Salvador.

On the night he got declared president, she was right by his side as they celebrated under a rain of confetti. He was adamant about her involvement in his decisions as he announced they were a packaged deal.
