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. （點擊《每日郵報》查看原文）

???????薩科齊擁有的豪車數量是法國前總統希拉克的兩倍，這些名車每年的保險費和油費分別是159000美元和437200美元。

???????另外，薩科齊出訪的交通成本也非常龐大。
