  1. Let's ask U2BROTHR and the others. I bet they were onstage.
  2. I guess it depends on how they're working it out. The band have spent an absolute fortune on staging etc for tours, as much as they're business minded as well the priority is bringing out great music and playing great shows whereas a lot of people on the list will probably be mainly money orientated. Well I'm guessing all that but I think it's a reasonable explanation.
  3. Still loads of money.
  4. U2 are artists, not business sharks. Their fortune could be even bigger, but they decided to offer the fans some mind-blowing scenarios for their tours, even if that meant loosing tons of money.

    They're certainly pretty damn business savvy and always have been, I wouldn't be so quick to say that they aren't businessmen on top of being artists.

    Of course they handle their business right, but foremost is their art. My point was that real-state tycoons or tech moguls will always have much bigger fortunes. For artists, being 21 in your country is damn impressive.

  7. I'm guessing an (incomplete) proshot recording of that will be this year's subscribers gift.
  9. Was it something to do with George Michael ? Oxfordshire ? Or was it to do with Adams birthday ?

    Bono is definitely an adept businessman. The fact he can fund so many of his charity orgs without asking for any monetary donations from the everyday consumer shows his ability to market something that has no explicit market value to corporations whose focus is entirely on tangible profits.

    I think if U2 wanted to make themselves the richest men in Ireland, they definitely have the skills to do just that.
  11. Edit: Doesn't seem to be working.

  12. So, part of the mistery is solved now! Nice find Paul
