Kevin Jonas, one-third of the famous Jonas Brothers trio, recently shared a candid reflection on a challenging chapter in his life. In a podcast interview with Lewis Howes, Kevin opened up about losing “almost all
” of his money due to bad business deals after the band split back in 2013. The conversation delved into the brothers’ journey through fame, fortune, and valuable life lessons.
Reflecting on his financial setbacks, Kevin admitted, “
I’ve seen it both ways… from the beginning of success to financial struggles.
” He recalled a time when he faced significant financial losses, reminiscing how he went from not fully grasping the concept of wealth to experiencing the harsh reality of poor investment decisions. Despite reaching a point where he had only “
one 10 percent left,
” Kevin remained resilient.
Detailing the circumstances that led to his financial downturn almost nine years ago, Kevin mentioned investing heavily in properties and other ventures that did not yield positive returns. While he couldn’t delve too deeply into the specifics of these failed partnerships, he emphasized the invaluable lessons learned from that period of turmoil. “
Thankfully for life in general,” Kevin expressed gratitude for being given a second chance through their band’s reunion.
The Jonas Brothers’ decision to part ways in 2013 stemmed from what was described as a “deep creative rift.” However, their triumphant return in 2019 with the release of “Happiness Begins” marked a remarkable comeback. The album received both commercial success and critical acclaim, rejuvenating their musical career and solidifying their bond as brothers and bandmates.
Amidst global tours and individual projects post-reunion, including their upcoming “Jonas20: Living the Dream Tour,” set to kick off in New Jersey this August with notable collaborators like Marshmello and Boys Like Girls, Kevin acknowledged how reuniting with Nick and Joe was serendipitous. Their seventh studio album titled “Greetings from Your Hometown” is slated for release on August 8th under Republic Records.
As they gear up for new milestones and exciting ventures ahead, Kevin’s journey serves as a testament to resilience, growth, and seizing opportunities even after facing adversity head-on. Through sharing his experiences candidly during interviews like these, fans get an intimate glimpse into both the highs and lows of stardom while celebrating moments of triumph over tribulation alongside their beloved idols.
