Nicolas Sarkozy has been promising to cut back on his presidential spending, but he's actually splashing out US$15,900 a day on food and keeps 121 cars under the Elysee Palace, according to a new book "Money from the State" by Socialist MP Rene Dosiere, Daily Mail reported.

Just last week Sarkozy sent a medical team to Ukraine on board a state-owned private jet to attend to one of his sons, Pierre, and fly him back to Paris to the tune of US$35,000.

His fleet of cars is double the size of predecessor Jacques Chirac's and cost, annually, US$159,000 to insure and a whopping US$437,200 to fuel.

Then there are his huge travel costs.

His total annual expenditure comes to US$151 million. "The figures make you giddy," says Dosiere. （点击《每日邮报》查看原文）

萨科齐被曝生活极度奢侈

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，法国社会党议员雷内·多西埃在其新书《公款》中爆料称，尽管总统萨科齐公开承诺削减个人开支，但他每天的饮食费用就高达15900美元，且在爱丽舍宫中收藏的豪车多达121辆。

       上周，萨科齐派出一支医疗队搭乘国有飞机前往乌克兰为自己的儿子皮埃尔看病，并将其接回巴黎，这次飞行任务共花掉35000美元。

       萨科齐拥有的豪车数量是法国前总统希拉克的两倍，这些名车每年的保险费和油费分别是159000美元和437200美元。

       另外，萨科齐出访的交通成本也非常庞大。

       算下来，萨科齐一年的开支高达1.51亿美元。多西埃说：“这一数字令人瞠目结舌。”
