lulz, with all the money they spend to look like they're money bags you'd think at least one rapper would be there.

I'd say most of the money on that list is from concert tickets and t-shirt sales.

You have to think of all the commercial use and paid royalties. Jay-Z wouldn't come close to the popularity of U2. And think of all the shit using "Highway to Hell".

U2 charged 102 bucks for basic seats during the last concert they had.

And morons still paid that money for that shitty political rock crap.
