Thats just from ticket sales. Doesn't include merchandise sales. I think if Bono really wanted to help these people in these poor african countries that he could dip into his own pockets.

    From everything I've read, he does give a good chunk to charity, he just doesn't announce the amounts publicly - and that goes back to the 80s, long before he turned into Jesusbono...
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    Not defending what Bono should or shouldn't with what's in his pockets but I'm sure the staging and road crew for this 360 Tour is pretty expensive. I just imagine what the electricity bill for the shows have come to so far.
