Paul McCartney held until today the top spot with 730 million pounds. U2 singer Bono of the group dethroned, reports the British newspaper The Mirror.

And if he has made a career in music, it’s not the work that explains the first place. Rather in 2009 by acquiring 2.3% market share of the social network Facebook that the Irish singer made his fortune.
