The music scene surely can’t imagine a world without Bono. He is not only the leader of the band U2, but he’s also a renowned philanthropist. But did you know Bono formed the band when he was just 16 years old? It’s like he’s born to become a star! The band has now reached commercial success since the late ’80s and has garnered multiple music awards. With a net worth of $700 million.

Bono is also an outstanding social activist, lobbying Western countries and the Holy See of the Vatican to promote debt relief and AIDS in the third world countries in Africa, and has participated in the meeting of finance ministers of the eight countries as a special envoy of the pope. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and was awarded the Order of the British Empire by Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
