What are Larry Mullen Jr.’s sources of income?

A major chunk of Mullen Jr.'s income comes from his contribution to the music and entertainment industry. He started by learning piano at the age of eight and then switched to drumming. The inspiration behind the formation of U2 was the deep loss and hurt that Mullen Jr. went through after his mother died in a car accident. In 1968, he created U2 along with Paul "Bono" Hewson, Adam Clayton, and David "The Edge" Evans. Gradually by the 80s, the band was recognized globally for its performances and trippy albums. The band witnessed major success with the album "The Joshua Tree" which turned out to be a major hit on all the music charts in 1987.
