Stop giving him your money then if it bothers you so much.

Should he stop investing his money? Or maybe stash it in a mattress where it won't accrue any interest?

Originally posted by BigGiRL:Not sure if Bono actually planned to be the wealthiest rockstar on Earth when he bought that facebook share in 2009. I think it is all just accidental...

Not sure if there's irony in this post, but calling a £56.000.000 (no typo there, 56 million UK pounds) investment "accidental" makes me laugh a lot

No intentional irony:
1) In 2009 there were no gurantees that the investment would pay out that much - it all seems so simple looking back, but it is a false idea.
2) How exactly should one argue that Bono actually planned (in 2009) to become the wealtiest rockstar in 2015?
Ergo: its accidental, an unforseen effect.
