You know when someone's an asshole and you just can't put your finger on it? (no pun intended)
Bono's ONE foundation under fire for giving little over 1% of funds to charity
Quote:
Bono's anti-poverty foundation ONE is under pressure to explain its lavish salaries after it was revealed that only a small percentage of money it raises reaches the needy.
The non-profit organisation set up by the U2 frontman received almost £9.6m in donations in 2008 but handed out only £118,000 to good causes (1.2 per cent).
The figures published by the New York Post also show that £5.1m went towards paying salaries.

Good grief...nothing like giving $100 to help poverty only for $1.20 to actually go to help poverty! Bill Gates, who apparently gave most of the money they've received, may not be too happy. :/
