Considering that he started his career when he was a teenager, it is very understandable that he has been able to rake in such a great amount of wealth over the years.
He has also several solo projects aside from his contribution to the band. In 1989, he contributed to producer Daniel Lanois’ Acadie album. He also co-wrote and arranged an official Irish national football team song Put ‘Em Under Pressure for the FIFA World Cup in 1990.

In 2007, he performed on Underworld’s song Boy, Boy, Boy from their album Oblivion with Bells.
Born on 31 October 1961, Larry Mullen Jr. started his career in the early 1970s when his father, Mullen Sr. pushed him to join a Dublin marching band called Artane Boys Band. However, he was not much interested in it as their focus was more on learning to read sheet music, whereas Mullen wanted to play drums more.
He founded U2 on 25 September 1976 in his kitchen in Artane, along with Paul ‘Bono’ Hewson, David ‘The Edge’ Evans, and his brother, Dik, Adam Clayton, as well as Mullen’s friends Ivan McCormick and Peter Martin.
