Bono – $700 million

When he first started U2 at the age of 16, Bono probably thought that the life he is now living would remain an imagination. Following the success that he and his band have met forty years later, Bono has become an enormous influence in the music industry, with $700 million attached to his name.

After creating 14 albums and performing in thousands of sold-out concerts, it’s no question why Bono and U2 now enjoy financial security and are far from bankruptcy. Aside from his love for music, Bono is also very passionate about many causes, including issues such as AIDS and poverty. The musician gives back by making donations to various organizations and projects to support such causes. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing our role models care about others. Because he has reached such heights in his career, Bono now makes it a point to share what he has with the less fortunate, as well as those who helped him reach his dreams.
