Bono To Become Richest Rock Star

(Classic Rock) U2 frontman Bono is set to become the richest man in rock when Facebook shares go on public sale tomorrow.

His Elevation Partners equity firm bought 2.3% of the social media company in 2009 for $90m, and that investment will be worth over $1.5bn � that's �940m � by close of business today.

That will make the singer and anti-poverty campaigner far more wealthy than former Beatle Paul McCartney, who's topped the rock rich list for years and is currently valued at �665m.
