Very little. I have tried, and tried, to find any actual evidence that Bono gives large amounts to charity. And I have not found it. It is public record that he only pays 2.5% taxes on his income, because U2 has a special tax dodge arrangement, in which it is chartered not in Ireland or the UK, but in the Netherlands. So U2 pays less taxes than an ordinary lower middle class European. And a lower % of their income in taxes than millions of POOR people in Europe. And yet they take in hundreds of millions of dollars.

They want Britain and America to give billions more each year to Africa, yet they do not want to chip in ANY OF IT.

If anyone can find any news article that shows that Bono has given any actual MONEY to charity, please post it. I am not talking about benefit concerts. I am not talking about donation a guitar to be auctioned off for charity. I am talking about any actual SACRIFICE Bono has made that would partially offset him cheating his government out of $80 million dollars in Taxes

if u want info... go to the wiki, there is a whole section on his humanitarian work. he may not have personally shoveled out billions like we want him too, but maybe that is because he knows that is not the answer. His approach to helping the planet is more precise than just throwing money and the problem. He has co-founded many organizations and put on numerous charity concerts. There is too much to list so please go to wiki . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bono
