U2 frontman Bono owns around 30% of Palm after his private equity firm Elevation Partners pumped in around £300m ($460m) in 2007 and 2008.
However he made an advert with the band last year for Blackberry (a direct competitor), that was clever eh!

But it is thought his investment was protected against losses and he could end up making around £16.4m ($25m) out of the deal.
Ooooh that makes sense now.
