Bono, the lead singer of U2, has been an outspoken advocate for the impoverished for decades. He is one of the most passionate celebrities fighting against global poverty, and believes that hard work can destroy extreme poverty by 2030. His work includes verbal activism as well as financial, driven by the idea that educating people about global poverty will inspire them to action. Bono has also been at the forefront of several lobbying initiatives around the world. He is a co-founder of ONE, an international, nonpartisan organization that works towards ending extreme poverty. Recently, Bono wrote an article for Time magazine acknowledging the sexist roots of poverty and urging men to take action to reduce the economic gender gap. To honor his contributions to the fight against global poverty, Queen Elizabeth II knighted him in 2007. Angelina Jolie
