Paul David Hewson, known professionally as Bono, The Mirrorball Man, B-Man and Bon Vox, is an Irish singer, musician, film score composer, guitarist, philantropist, lyricist and one of the richer celebrities who has estimated net worth of $700 million. Nowadays he is considered to be one of the richest persons in the world thanks to his $90 million investment in Facebook which has become extremely popular during the past few years. Together with his investment group Elevation Partners, Bono owns 2.3% of Facebook. But today not so many people know how rich Bono is, but almost everyone knows that he is the lead vocalist of the famous rock band U2. And that is one of the main sources of Bono’s net worth.
Bono Net Worth $700 Million
Paul David Hewson, who later become Bono, was born on May 10, 1960, in Dublin, Ireland. He attended Mount Temple Comprehensive School. As a teenager Bono was involved in a surrealistic street gang “Lipton Village”, where he met Guggi, former member of the ghost/punk band “The Virgin Prunes” and he remains Bono’s best friend until today.
After building up a huge amount of net worth, Bono could let himself buy some properties. That’s how he became the owner of Killiney mansion, which is located in Dublin, Ireland. It is considered to be a perfect quiet place where you can literally touch nature which is everywhere around you. The second property that Bono owns is a New York apartment located in the north tower of The Sam Remo building in Manhattan, New York. This one was purchased by Steve Jobs in 1982 and later Bono bought it for $15 million. His apartment is located on the top 27th floor of the building with a beautiful landscape from the windows. This amazing building has 3,500 square feet of space inside and 1,300 more of terrace. The neighbors of the house are also noteworthy, and include Steven Spielberg, Demi Moore, Steve Martin and Princess Yasmin Aga Khan. Furthermore, Bono owns Exe bord du Mer Mansion – this is a luxurious villa with 4 floors inside located on the beachfront at Eze-bord de-mere.
Except these properties Paul David Hewson’s net worth was high enough to purchase the beautiful 140 feet long Cyan yacht. Firstly U2’s lead vocalist was only renting the yacht for a vacation with his family, but later purchased it for $30 million and repainted. It is known that today Bono’s net worth rises even more because a weekly charter price on the yacht is about 250,000 dollars. And when Bono is tired from enjoying his vacation near the water, he can always use his U2 360 Blue Line MD-83 F-GMLK Airbus – this amazing jet can be recognized by the lettering “U2 360” on its tail. Furthermore, he is an owner of 4 cars – 1980 Mercedes 450 SEL, Maserati Quattroporte, Volkswagen Tiguan and Tesla Roadster. Looks like Bono definitely knows how to spend his always increasing net worth.
