Bono keeps on giving
Updated 13:59pm on 4 Nov 2008Love him or hate him, Bono makes most other philanthropists look like Scrooge. He locked horns with billionaire Sir Philip Green at a charity auction held at the Music Industry Trust's Awards last night, and pipped him to a VIP box at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium with a bid of £20,000.

That's £20,00: Bono

Hurrah! Cat's out the bag. Yes apparently Mr Bono is exceptionally good at getting us to part with our money...not so good at parting with his own however.

Is that why he's a tax exile in his native country then, because he's such a giver?

what a load of tosh, 20k isnt a huge amount of money, i would have bid that too, and im not worth half of what bono is
im sick of him asking us to give give give when he charges $500 a ticket to watch him perform
