Kevin Jonas Lost ‘Almost All’ of His Money After the Jonas Brothers' 2013 Breakup

Kevin, 37, appeared on Lewis Howes’ “The School of Greatness” podcast alongside his brothers Nick Jonas, 32, and Joe Jonas, 35.

Kevin confessed on the podcast that he made a series of business deals in his younger years that ultimately led to him losing almost everything.

“I invested in a bunch of property and doing other things and I was building at the time,” the singer said before continuing. “Sadly, it wasn’t the right partnership, if you know what I’m saying.”

Kevin then stopped himself from elaborating, saying that he couldn’t share any more details. He did add, though, that he “learned a lot of lessons” from the experience.

“Thankfully for life in general, like we had a second shot and bite at the apple with the band coming back together,” Kevin said, continuing. “It was kind of fortuitous in a way.”

Kevin said he was able to reevaluate and apply those difficult financial lessons the second time around, and it changed the way he thinks about the music business.

The Jonas Brothers experienced a whirlwind of success beginning in 2005, when they embarked on their first tour. They released their debut album It's About Time in 2006 and starred in Disney's Camp Rock in 2008. But in 2013, the brothers called it quits.

"When it ended it was not good," the youngest Jonas Brother said in an interview with Z100 in 2019. "It was a couple years of rebuilding our family, and in our mind it seemed impossible for us to do this ever again."

The band split for five years and during that time they worked on their own personal projects.

Kevin followed his entrepreneurial pursuits, which included creating a company called The Blu Market, providing social media influencers with strategic support. He also invested in the tech world, helping create the restaurant-finding app Yood and becoming a partner of social media app We Heart It.

Then, in 2019, the brothers announced their comeback on James Corden's Late Late Show. Their album, Happiness Begins, was later released in June of that year, along with a documentary detailing the band’s history.

According to Kevin, making the Amazon Prime Video film, Chasing Happiness, was part of their healing process.

"[It] was great because we had to have real conversations and not hold back," Kevin said, comparing the production to therapy. "So for us, it worked out in a good way."

Nick and Joe had their acting and solo careers. Kevin had nothing.

It always blows my mind how people who come into money become idiots.

Stick a few million in a treasury bonds or a long term CD. No, you won't live like Oprah for the rest of your life, but you won't be homeless either. The recent post about Susan Powter comes to mind.

Sloppy reporting.

Kevin is the oldest brother.

If the article meant to refer to the actual youngest, Frankie (the Bonus Jonas), it’s not clear.

I always thought that this was the reason the brothers got back together, no other reason make sense. Nick and Joe had steady careers going, Joe had his own band, Nick had an acting career. Neither of them needed the Jonas Brothers, just Kevin need it.

I did always wonder why they didn't include the fourth Jonas brother Frankie when they got back together.

The Jonas brothers are Jewish and the Kardashians are Armenian.

They don't look "Arab."

Jewish people are Semitic, so it's natural that they would look like they're from the Middle East.

Armenian history is a bit more complicated. I still can't really figure out what historians are trying to say about their origins.

If someone else can decipher what this article is trying to say, then please do.

I think Joe and Nick are beautiful brown POCs.

Yes, Frankie is also white, unlike the other two.

Does Kevin still have that special needs wife? I would imagine that takes up a lot of his money, what with her special needs.

R18 ::waves:: member of the Armenian diaspora here…We consider ourselves our own thing and resent implications that we are part of a larger group. Had it not been for the Armenian Genocide we would likely be acknowledged as simply Armenian and understood to be that in the way that people understand Germans to be simply Germans.

But it’s a fair question as to what our ethnicity is. I’d say we’re probably closest to Persian and Jewish biologically. More like Persian and (ugh) Turkish culturally.

I think Kevin has grown into being the best looking brother, he wasn't always but he has certainly improved the most in the looks department. What I don't get is why they don't let him sing lead hardly ever. I have heard of few recordings where he sings the lead and he is just as good as Nick and Joe.

I agree R7 - lottery winners, actors, musicians etc - you bank a few million - you don't really need any more. But they often "invest" and lose it all through ignorance or dishonest financial managers.

Because he isn’t very good.

I am pretty sure he got involved with one of the RHONJ families. He was hired to build Kathy Wakilie's new home. Jeresy contracting is not the best business to get into.

Maybe you could reference this song where Kevin is singing the lead and he isn't very good. Have you even heard Kevin singing the lead in any song?
