I suspect even without that they would be one of the richest musicians given that since 2000 alone they have done 4 massive world tours and played around 460 shows.
I think when they did the Vertigo tour it was estimated they were making £1m every show.
I thought Dr Dre was a billionaire, after he sold his headphones company to Apple?I think when they did the Vertigo tour it was estimated they were making £1m every show.

Apolgies for the Mirror link, I just heard this on the radio and this seems to be the only place reporting it at present.
Possibly because it's exactly the same story everyone was reporting 3 years ago when Facebook stock launched on Nasdaq? Remember how we all laughed when he 'lost' $350million in the first few days? Well, I didn't laugh, I'm just jealous I'm no big fan of U2 but certainly enjoy plenty of their songs.
As for him putting near on all his wealth into a risky Facebook following the massive market collapse in 2009 he certainly has big balls.
I'm not concerned one way or the other if he does or doesn't give his £ to charity just the same as anyone else - it is a personal choice and from what I see those who hardly mention charity actually pay in a lot towards it over some others who shout loudly about it.
Good for him - I'm sure he will certainly give something to charity

I wonder who buys U2 records? I've never met anyone who likes them.
I do (or did, haven't bought one for a while.) I'm also a bit confused as to why there is so much negativity to them on PH. Decent musicians, some great songs, why all the hate?Success is generally applauded on PH where it's the fruit of effort and skill and considered risk taking so Bono doing well personally can't be bad. Well done him.
