Bono | Musician, Lead Singer for U2 | $700 Million

The Irish musician and U2 lead singer is more than just a talented singer and songwriter. Did you know that he’s also a prolific businessman? In 1992, he put in investments to renovate Dublin’s Clarence Hotel and turned it into a 49-bedroom five-star hotel. He’s also got quite the real estate portfolio, is part of Elevation Partners, and just recently, he’s also joined Zipline as a member of its Board of Directors.

Bono has earned millions through his music and business ventures and has since received 22 Grammy Awards and a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Despite the accolades and the fame, however, he gives just as much as he receives. He is a beloved philanthropist, donating millions and establishing various organizations to serve humanitarian needs worldwide. One noteworthy endeavor he’s done throughout his career is collaborating with big-named figures, both inside and outside the music industry.
