What could’ve been an easier way of getting hefty bills while having a great time than being a rock star? Behold, as the newest throne for the richest music icon has been named after the person of none other than U2 front man Bono.
Get this: Bono surpassing the record made by Sir Paul McCartney’s estimated £730M worth who used to own the throne of being the wealthiest music icon in the world. You might be getting it wrong though.
Bono’s reported worth of £940M didn’t come from endless road shows and album sales. U2 might have been there for a long time, but their existence is not the reason why Bono is now owning the crown of the richest person in the music industry today.
Thanks to the current dominating social media Facebook, Bono was able to make a humongous earnings creating his already stout bank account even more decent.
The journey to having bills, bills, bills started when the singer/activist gambled and put his £56 million to gain a 2.3 % share on FB back in 2009. Zuckerberg’s brainchild is definitely a hit and nonetheless history shaker.
With an estimated 1 Billion users every day, we can just imagine how the money can multiply immensely over time. As if ‘posturing at the back of our minds is even needed, just look at Bono’s wealth that grew in the span of six years and get a tangible amount of the estimates.
This news might have been a really good and may act as a saving grace in lieu of reports that his clothing company, co-founded with his wife is currently dropping around a million dollars.
Filthy rich and nonetheless influential, the figures bumped McCartney to top two and moved the equally famous Madonna, who has estimated £520M worth to top three amongst the most moneyed performers in the world.
Well played Bono, well played.
