Bono | $700 million

Bono is a known singer, activist, venture capitalist, and philanthropist.  Bono was born and raised in Ireland and was able to establish a reputation as the frontman of U2, a band he co-founded with his schoolmates. His lyrics were given credit for giving soul to the group’s rebellious yet spiritual tone. He is also a known activist and has participated in various concerts and events promoting Africa.

With a net worth of $700 million, it is easy for Bono to give back to the community and he has not held back. He was even knighted by Queen Elizabeth for his humanitarian work and his contribution to music. His net worth comes from a combination of his earnings from music and his other business ventures. He has investments in the Forbes Media Group and he is also on the board of Elevation Partners, a private-equity firm.
