The Bono nonprofit took in $14,993,873 in public donations in 2008, the latest year for which tax records are available.
Of that, $184,732 was distributed to three charities, according to the IRS filing.
Meanwhile, more than $8 million was spent on executive and employee salaries.

While this does look shady, in his partial defense I think his non-profits primary job is to go out and get other groups and different governments to help these people out. If he spent $15 million in donations yet was able to get three times that (I have no idea what the actual number is) in aid for these people it is money well spent.
