And just when you thought you couldn't be happier for him, Bono is set to make millions of dollars (not quite a bajillion, but hardly a sum to be sniffed at) out of the sale of Forbes magazine. Yes, we are talking about Forbes a fair bit today as it happens.
The magazine, which is almost 100 years in operation, has Bono's Elevation Partners as one of its major shareholders, what with them purchasing 45% for $246million some time back.
So, if you have a spare $400million (guide price) to spare, why not give Forbes Media CEO Mike Perlis a bell? It looks like the best way to indicate your interest is to first bring him some flowers, maybe some chocolates, and tell him he's so much prettier than his picture on the dating website, for this is what he wrote in a letter to Forbes employees: "We have hired Deutsche Bank to represent us, and we expect interest from numerous suitors.”
