Kevin Jonas, most well-known as the Jonas Brothers senior member, is coming out with one of the most personal pages of his life, which nearly took everything away.
During a candid interview with Lewis Howes on the podcast “School of Greatness” 37-year-old Kevin revealed that he almost went bankrupt following the sensational breakup of the band in 2013.
Kevin said, I have witnessed the onset of the success of the money world, not knowing what money was all about and learning what it is, to not having it to losing nearly all of it.
Rise and Decline of Fame to Finances
Along with his brothers Nick and Joe, Kevin was thrust into the limelight as one of the most famous pop groups in the 2000s. However, Mayhem had its downside because beneath the music, red carpets, and screaming fans, there was business behind fame.
Yes, all of it, except the most part. And like, right to the 10 percent that was left, you know,” said Kevin when he was asked how much of his money he spent.
After the separation of the band, Kevin focused his momentum on entrepreneurship, investing in real estate, technology start-ups, and introducing The Blu Market, a digital marketing agency that focused on influencers. Nonetheless, all his endeavours did not pay off.
It was a pity; it was not the right match, as you have it, he said, avoiding legal and contract terms.
He did not name names, but Kevin made it abundantly clear that he had almost lost his financial security due to one bad business deal, which gave him the taste of humility at the time when he was only 28 years of age.
A Bittersweet Lesson ? and a Second Chance
Kevin, the person whose privacy is usually deemed an essential attribute, stated that the financial crisis provided him with the best lessons on managing money, trust, and improvement.
It was an education to me. And we were fortunate enough to get another bite of the cherry when the band re-united, he added.
The second shot was also in 2019 when the Jonas Brothers returned triumphantly with their album Happiness Begins. The reunion was not only a music revival but also an emotional and financial saviour to Kevin.
Kevin supplemented: it was fortunate. It altered my perception of music and business.
Making Sense of Things besides Money
In the podcast appearance, Kevin and his brothers did not only speak about their highs and lows in their careers but also about what is really important. In Kevin, it is family, development, and perception.
Nick, who is 32 years old, and Joe, 35 years old, also appeared to be open about how many years of emotional pressure were after the breakup in 2013. The brothers have already stated they have done therapy and open discussions to mend their relationship and their band.
Nick, who was interviewed previously stated that when it stopped, it was not good. We literally did not know whether we could become brothers again, let alone bandmates.
Kevin agreed that the 2019 Amazon Prime Video documentary, Chasing Happiness, was instrumental in enabling the trio to open up about their past and leave it behind.
It was therapeutic. We also needed to discuss things that we never discussed,” Kevin said.
Future with Prudence
Kevin has become more cautious in his business since the reunion. His previous failures have taught him to be more careful and determined to be right.
He has also gone back to what he loves, as he has shown on television programs such as Claim to Fame on NBC and still performs on the Jonas Brothers tours around the world.
Kevin has been able to survive after being on the verge of bankruptcy and today he is flourishing in life, not only in terms of career, but also as an individual. He is married to Danielle Jonas, with whom he lives in New Jersey with their two daughters, away from the noise of L.A.
According to him, the money thing has played the trick that stability and family is much more important. You might lose so much but when you continue learning and progressing you are never finished.
Kevin openness is a strong warning that even pop stars can reach rock bottom but with faith, support and a bit of humbleness we can remake ourselves better.
