I wonder, out of curiosity, what percent of Bono's wealth goes to charities that help the poor?

Bono doesn't file his taxes in Ireland because there is a tax law that charges mega-stars a tax to help fund starving musicians.

Lol. I would ask the same of Oprah Winfrey.
There was a list of the U.S. states and their charitable donations.
The most charitable states were in the deep south, Alabama, Mississippi, the poorest states.
The northeast states, Massachusetts and Connecticut, for example, were the least charitable.

Some wealthy are so because they give only when it doesn't hurt.
