U2’s Bono has become the world’s richest pop star after raking in over $1 billion from his Facebook shares.
The Beautiful Day hitmaker bought a 2.3 per cent share in the social media network for £56 million in 2009 with the investment group that he co-founded, Elevation Partners.
Today that share is worth a whopping £940 million, according to reports. That means that Bono’s venture has earned him more in the last six years than the whole of his incredible music career.
Now Bono takes over Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney as the world’s
richest pop star. The singer, who is married to Nancy Shevell, has an
impressive £730 million. While Madonna has £520 million.
Facebook hit its own ‘billion’ milestone this week, when it had one billion users in one day.
The company went public in 2009.

This juliet iwuno makes reasonable comments but posting a comment 4 to 5 times makes me think she needs psychiatric evaluation....phew...im outta here..#helpjulietiwuno#
I can't believe this....
OK
He and others like him is the reason why Facebook reduced the number of content reach. Now they're making us pay for advertising through our noses. There's nothing to celebrate here. He is just a money grubber just like the rest of them. They run charities, collect money from white people all in the name of 'saving hungry children in Africa" only for them to pocket the money. If the way they send money to "charities" in Africa, the people are really getting the monies, there would no longer be hunger and starvation in the world. I don't envy him but I also don't celebrate him either.
Nice one... Chukwu memu eriba agwu agwu
Facebook seems to be growing bigger and more financially successful over the years, despite it seeming dwindling popularity these days!
Nothing as gud as investment, I must start mine in the nearest future.
