Bono Outbids Everyone At Charity Auction For Bono-Autographed Guitar
LOS ANGELES—During a Keep A Child Alive charity auction last Friday, U2 frontman Bono paid $575,000 for a guitar signed by the Irish recording artist, outbidding his nearest competitor by nearly $500,000.
“Not only does this allow me to donate to a cause in which I very deeply believe, but I now own a unique and valuable piece of rock and roll history,” said the singer, who also placed the winning bid on a “once-in-a-lifetime” lunch with Bono at $1 million.
Bono reportedly listed the autographed guitar on eBay the next day to raise money for Amnesty International, and within 20 minutes, had placed the highest bid at $750,000.
Gold.

$575,000 for your own signature.
I think that pretty much says it all, doesn’t everybody else?
To the guy who runs this website - can you email me at john@johnnox.wanadoo.co.uk
I’m a journalist in the UK writing a feature for a newspaper about anti-celebrity websites around the world and would be really grateful if you could drop me a line.
Thanks!
