U2’s Bono set to become billionaire thanks to Facebook investment

As an Irish taxpayer I vomit when I read any more about this publicity crazed tax dodger Bono ! No doubt the little boll***ks will soon appear at another economic forum telling the real workers and job creators where they have been going wrong !!!

A billionare now??? i agree with ye bogsidebunny on this one,he bangs on about the poor all the time an never gives them a penny of his own fortune never hands a penny in tax to his motherland,sure even when the imf came over to ireland have a guess who they went to dinner with?? yes holy bono,an who played a concert in south africa when he sang kill the boers to the audience when their is a genocide in south africa against the white population with a media blackout,bono is nothing but a pure hypocrite,his freinds are some of the biggest terrorists in the world,talk about a wolf dressed in lambs clothing

Bono is now selling the innocence of all those who made him famous..Facebook will now be a private Intelligence agency to manipulate the terms of that innocence.

Bono will keep the windfall along with his first dollar, while he beseeches Joe Six pack to send money to Africa. Charity won't see a penny of Bono's money, it never does. Everything he's seems to have done for charity is for his own self promotion and marketing. The Irish gov't won't see a penny of it either since Bono and co pulled that tax dodge a few years back, changing his tax citizenship to the Netherlands.

I have nothing to say against Bono.He has been around a long time.Not much a person could say against him.

Nothing's ever wrong with wise investing. Good for him.

CATHOLICABUSESURVIVORSNI.COM--- HES CAN STROLL AROUND THE POPES GARDEN AT THE VATICAN NOW HE HAS THE SAME POCKET MONEY AS UNBIBLICAL OLD RED SOX, DISCUSSING HOW BEST HE CAN CONTINUE TO AVOID EVER SAYING A SENTENCE ON THE RAPE AND TORTURE OF IRELANDS CHILDREN BY THE PAPAL KABAL.

Bono is a great guy, I would rather have him deciding to distribute where his money should go through his charites than have the Irish government take it in taxes and waste it.

Since Bono is still relatively young and prone to philanthropy, by minimizing his taxes and building wealth through compunding of interest, Bono can develop a much bigger fortune down the road. This will undoubtedly help the IRISH more than had he over-paid taxes. AND HE HAS HELPED THE IRISH PLENTY. Its not hypocritical. Its smart business. Tax Dodger? Thats a crime and he's not even accussed. Rock actually stands for something? You've watched to many reruns of Jack Black in "School of Rock"........He should write a song about Irish-Pukers, inspired by this crank website.

One percent of five billion equals one billion?

U2 have been the face of corporate rock and roll for 20 years. Ever since they unveiled all those overpriced, bloated concerts. Now he's just another corporate shill 1% - the antithesis of everything rock stands for.

@brianmack: There is nothing better than a tax dodger who refuses to bank his money in his own country...........Taxes need to go to schools, hospitals and services.......How humanitarian is he?????????

Paul David Hewson, Bono, Anglican mom and Irish Catholic dad. That combination seems to work wonders. A great talented humanitarian and a wonderful reflection on how reconciliation makes for a better Irish country.
