Bono — Elevation Partners & Facebook Stake
$86M Facebook bet → $1.5B return. Richest rock star alive.
Bono co-founded Elevation Partners in 2004 and invested $86 million in Facebook in 2009 — a pre-IPO gamble that, at IPO in 2012, was worth $1.5 billion. That single bet dwarfs his entire music career, which earned an estimated $700 million over four decades, making it 2.1 times larger. He also bet on Yelp and Forbes Media, though Palm faltered.
