World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz may be dedicated to freeing the world from poverty - but he seems unable to afford a new pair of socks.
Mr Wolfowitz’s sartorial deficiencies were revealed when he took his shoes off while visiting a mosque in Edirne, western Turkey. Both of the grey socks sported holes with his big toes peeking through.
The last World Bank annual report, for 2006, puts the president’s salary as of 1 July, 2005, at $391,440 (£200,279).
