Bono (U2 fame) will net around £1.5 BILLION today from the flotation of Facebook and his stake in the business.

Interested to know what he's going to do with that amount of money or is it already pledged to the starving African millions?

Hiding it in a tax haven, allegedly.

@ginsterdz - I think his share is way less than that but indeed he will certainly be paying very little tax on his massive profits.

So long as he stops clapping his hands - every time he does this, a child in Africa dies apparently.

He owns a 1.5% stake, so it's more like £900m innit?

Zactly....though who honestly still thinks what Africa needs is yet more foreign NGOs telling them what to do. Lets end farming subsidies for a start.

Every time I see that Louis Vuitton advert of Mr and Mrs Bono stepping out of their plane I really feel like throwing something.
