Because gosh, so few people in the world know that poverty is a problem!
Simply amazing...
Here's a thought Bono - you go touring anyways right? Bring attention to the poverty cause by...I dunno, simply saying "Please everyone, donate to (some LEGIT charity) to help reduce and eliminate poverty throughout the world!" Costs Bill Gates et al nothing, costs you much less of your time, more money actually goes to help people, and you don't come off as a self-centered asshole. Everyone wins!
Not that this is limited to him...yes I know there are some rich people who actually have legitimate foundations/charities that have done a lot of good, but a lot of them start up absolutely unnecessary foundations, likely more often than not to give out 1.2% like sir Bono is doing and just pay most of the rest to their buddies via "salary".
