Bono

As a singer, it is without a doubt that Bono is very passionate. When he formed U2 in 1976, he was looking forward to a successful career, which turned out to be the case. His songs that are usually riddled with various themes, struck a chord with his audience. As the band grew, their songs took a more personal tone, reflecting their experiences.

Bono has made a series of good financial decisions in the past, but one that did not end so well was when he started Edun, an eco-friendly brand, in 2009. LVMH also invested in the brand, but it later turned red. LVMH then pulled out, making the brand sink a degree further. Edun has undergone rehabilitation, but as of 2018, it remained in the red. Bono has moved on and put some money on Facebook, which proved to be a wise move.
