Bono has never given any money to charity?While he's a smug looking arse with a very opinonated approach to life I don't think you can accuse him of never giving any money to charity.
But I could be wrong, I'm not his accountant so couldn't be certain.

as far as i am awarehe "endorses" charity so he gives some time. No actual money out of his own pocket.

To generalize....If MrHorrible's figures are correct and U2 made $255m last year - or in 2005 ;D ...
Split that 4 ways (each band member) = $63m
Divide by 12 (months in the year) = $5.3m
Divide by 20 (working days a month - he takes a few days off a month) = $265,625
Divide by 7 (hours of work a day - he doesn't work through lunch) = $37,946 per hour
So every hour he's standing at the front of a charity function he's giving them $37,946
And how much have you given this year?
:D (don;t bother arguing I'm joking with these numbers obviously)

I think time is of much more value to him than money anywaySo he's not buying off his conscience by giving large sums of money. Good.

He loses nothing by doing it, I'm guessing most of the money is royalties which roll in anyway.Plus, as mentioned, he gets the significant publicity benefits from doing it.

who's Kenny Chesney?!I assume Country singer, I'd never heard of the bloke before. Crikey that's a lucrative market.
And looks like the Green Day marketing department have done a great job of selling the no sell out range at Claire's Accessories :D

the tax is one area that they are sods for sure, same as the Rolling Stonesbut the list of cocks who make their money in one place then fuck off elsewhere to save on Taxes is as long as your arm.
But they do have to be neighbours with cnuts like Phil Collins and Lewis Hamilton, so its not all good :D
