Kevin Jonas Lost Almost All His Money After Jonas Brothers Split
As many millennials and elder-Gen Zs can attest, the Jonas Brothers were a biiiiig deal in the 2000s and 2010s. Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas made it big in the mid-2000s with songs like 'Year 3000' and 'S.O.S,' before landing multiple projects with Disney, including the iconic Disney Channel original movie, Camp Rock. By 2012, they had hit tours and albums, a Grammy nomination, two movies, their own Disney Channel show, and a Rolling Stone cover, making them three of the most famous young stars in the world. But, as is sadly the case with many great boy bands, the group eventually made the decision to take some time apart. And so, in 2013, the Jonas Brothers announced that they were going their separate ways — 'for now.' During the band's hiatus, both Nick and Joe carved out their own paths in the music industry, while their older brother, Kevin — who by this point was already married to Danielle Jonas — grew his family and focused more on business endeavors. Now, appearing with Nick and Joe on Monday's episode of Lewis Howes's School of Greatness podcast, Kevin said that he lost 'almost all' of his money in the years after the Jonas Brothers split. 'I've seen it both ways. 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,' Kevin told Lewis after being asked about his biggest learnings in 'money, success, and fame.' The host was immediately surprised and asked if he really lost almost all of his wealth, prompting Kevin to double down. 'Yeah, most of it, like, down to the one 10 percent left,' he said, before providing some more context. '[It was] about nine years ago,' Kevin continued. 'I invested in a bunch of property and doing other things and I was building at the time. Sadly, it wasn't the right partnership, if you know what I'm saying.' The oldest Jo Bro then stopped himself from divulging further details, admitting he 'can't really get too much into it,' although he did say he 'learned a lot of lessons' from the experience. Kevin didn't explicitly suggest that the band's split impacted his financial situation, though he did say things improved once the group got back together in 2019. 'Thankfully for life in general, like we had a second shot and bite at the apple with the band coming back together,' he said. 'It was kind of fortuitous in a way,' Kevin continued. 'I learned this lesson — never wanted to learn it, but I did — but then, at the same time, reevaluated how to approach life from that perspective and looking to the future.' Well, sometimes you gotta learn things the hard way! You can find the Jonas Brothers' full interview on The School of Greatness podcast here.
