Bono, Bill & Melinda Gates Are `Persons of the Year' (Update1):

Time Warner Inc.'s Time magazine named Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda Gates, and rock star Bono as its `Persons of the Year' for 2005 for their commitment to charity and poverty relief.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the world's wealthiest charity with about a $29 billion endowment, the magazine said.
