Facebook stock: 6 intriguing investors

Facebook stock will make many people suddenly wealthy when it begins trading this Friday. The company is expected to be valued somewhere around $100 billion, with stock expected to sell anywhere between $34 and $38 per share. In addition to the usual suspects ? founder Mark Zuckerberg, Sean Parker, and longtime Facebook employees like Sheryl Sandberg ? there are a few ground floor investors who are more off the beaten path. Here are six of the more unexpected people set to make a killing with initial public offering of Facebook stock, including a rock star, a graffiti artist, and pair of Mr. Zuckerberg?s enemies.

1. Bono

Bono, front man of iconic Irish rock group U2, was already a millionaire hundreds of times over before the initial public offering (IPO) of Facebook stock was announced.?But early investment in the company through his own private equity firm is set to make him a billionaire, and far and away the richest rock star in the world (surpassing Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Mick Jagger, among others).

Bono heads up Elevation Partners, which bought a 1.5 percent stake in Facebook for $90 million in 2009.?If the value of Facebook stock hits $100 billion, as expected, Bono?s share will be worth approximately $1.5 billion.
