Here’s a case where the employer isn’t paying attention to the employee. U2 bass player Adam Clayton is missing 1.8 million euros—that’s over $2.7 million—and he says his housekeeper took it.

Her name is Carol Hawkins. She also works as Adam’s personal assistant. He says she used his debit cards and his credit cards to buy everything from an apartment in New York to ewellry to cars to some horses. It all just slowly and quietly disappeared from Adam’s bank accounts. 

$2.7 million seems like a lot to go missing, but U2 grossed $312 million over the 44 shows they played in 2009. Biggest tour of the year.
