Kevin Jonas reveals he lost 'almost all' money after Jonas Brothers split: 'I was down to 10%'
During the episode, the 37-year-old musician and entrepreneur admitted that poor financial decisions in his younger years, specifically a failed business venture, left him nearly penniless.
'I've seen the beginning of the success to financial success — not knowing what money really was and understanding it, to not having it, to losing almost all of it. Most of it, like, down to the one 10 per cent left,' Kevin said.
'I invested in a bunch of property and was doing other things, and I was building at the time. Sadly, it wasn't the right partnership, if you know what I'm saying. Thankfully for life in general, like we had a second shot and bite at the apple with the band coming back together. It was kind of fortuitous in a way," Kevin said.
The Jonas Brothers stardom
The Jonas Brothers rose to stardom in the mid-2000s with chart-topping albums, a Disney Channel fanbase, and starring roles in Camp Rock. But in 2013, creative differences and strained relationships led them to part ways. Nick, in an earlier interview, had stated that it took them a couple of years to rebuild the family. The brothers reunited after six years in 2019. The Jonas Brothers will be celebrating their 20th anniversary with the 'Jonas20: Living the Dream' tour that kicks off in their native New Jersey in August.

Priyanka Chopra's Husband Nick Jonas Says It Was Uncomfortable Being Asked About Sex At 14
Nick Jonas was part of the Jonas Brothers band, who famously wore purity rings in their teens. The Jonas Brothers 'felt the pressure" to live up to their Christian values after talking publicly about their 'purity rings". After shooting to fame in the 2000s, the pop stars famously wore bands symbolising their desire to abstain from sex before marriage, and Joe Jonas, 35, has admitted being open about their beliefs forced them to maintain the very high standards they set for themselves. During an appearance on Penn Badgley's Podcrushed podcast, Joe explained: 'Famously, we were known for like purity rings, which were something in the community of a church where that was like what everybody else in our age were doing around 10, 11 years old, like, we're going to wait for the right person … One person on an interview when you're 15, 16 [years old] would ask you about it, and you're like: 'I don't want to talk about this,' and then they're like: 'Well, I'm going to write that you guys are in a cult'." Joe went on to say: 'Whether it was sex, or it was even religion or Christianity, [they'd be] questioning things like questioning if I believe in God, what is God? Is there even a God? And it's on the record. And you're like, uh … and so you felt the pressure. I can definitely speak for all three of us here. [We] felt the pressure of being like: 'Well, we have to live these lives because we kind of said it in a paper once. And it's in print, so you [have] got to do it forever." Joe was joined in the interview by his brother Nick, 32, who admitted he did not feel comfortable being asked about his views on sex when he was just a teenager. Nick said: 'I think it's really a good thing [that it would no longer be acceptable to ask a teen about sex]. Where it would be like so outside of the realm of possibilities or something someone would do to ask at that time a 14-year-old about their sex life." Nick previously admitted wearing the rings 'was challenging" in many ways. In a Reddit Ask Me Anything forum in March 2016, he explained: 'I've got a lot of perspective and real care about sex from those days, and specifically because people were watching us, because it was such a strange thing to a lot of people to wear these purity rings, especially as young men in a pop boy band. But I think when I'm looking back on it, although it was challenging to live with that, to be seen and have that attached to our name was very tough." He said: 'I think it was a good thing. It gave me a really good perspective, to whereas now my main thing is about being ok with who I am as a man and the choices I've made, and I think everyone should have a good and solid conversation with either their parents or loved ones about sex and about what they want to do with their life, because it shouldn't be taboo. It's a big part of who we are and what makes us human, and if we can't address these things head-on, then I think that it can really be challenging."
