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

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.

Never put all your eggs in one basket. Once you accumulate some amount of wealth, never have more than half your value in any one thing.

Kevin has become better looking with age.

Is he the white brother? Like how Khloe Kardashian is the white sister.

When you look that Basic- you don't gamble.

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.

They don't seem bright.

[quote]Is he the white brother? Like how Khloe Kardashian is the white sister.

How is she the white one? OJ is her father.

She looks white while her sisters look Arab. Kevin looks white while his brothers look Arab.

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.

Did he have to suck cock for money?

His brothers’?

Why is straightish him so stupid?

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 Frankie Jonas Story is kind of sad.

Not as sad as the Frankie Grande story!

[quote] She looks white while her sisters look Arab. Kevin looks white while his brothers look Arab.

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.

Fuck that made me laugh, R17!

Maria makes me…laugh!

[quote] The Frankie Jonas Story is kind of sad.

Explain.

[quote] The Jonas brothers are Jewish

Aren’t they partly or mostly of Italian descent?

Oh that's sad. He didn't get the looks either.

Is Frankie also a “white” Jonas brother?

I think Joe and Nick are beautiful brown POCs.

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

Joe is the only one who looks extra brown.

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.

Maybe he lost it all on that porn star he hired.

We need to talk about Kevin.

R28, are you a Glendalian?

Kevin Jonas? I don't think anyone really cares.

The JoBros are not Jewish in the least. They are Fundies.

He married the first girl he fucked. Big mistake.

Ethnicity: Irish, German, English, Scottish, Italian/Sicilian, French-Canadian, possibly other

Kevin is a youthful 37. What's his secret?

Why is he still closeted?

I thought they were of French Canadian extraction. They certainly look it.

Before FamilyDick, there was Married to Jonas. Video cuts off before the fucking begins.

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.

[quote]What I don't get is why they don't let him sing lead hardly ever.

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.

[quote] Because he isn’t very good.

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?

The in-laws allegedly threatened to out Kevin unless he helped them launch careers in showbiz. Hence the awful reality show. Danni is an entitled cunt with the schnozz of a ski slope.

[quote] I think Joe and Nick are beautiful brown POCs.

Lol R24.

You're totally nuts.

[quote]The in-laws allegedly threatened to out Kevin

So are all of them closeted? Because Nick is definitely in a bearding situation with that elderly Indian woman he’s married to.

Joe's Beard was cheating on him, so he divorced her.

Now he's fighting for custody of his turkey baster baby.

Is Joe the one who married Sanka Stark?

Sanka Stark? Hold the cream!

I’ve never heard of Joe being linked to a single man.

He preferred them married.

r51 Joe was linked to Chance Crawford, wasn't he?

I remember watching some weird program awhile back about Kevin and his wife. It was bizarre as fuck, and screamed closet case.

Very similar to that E! channel wedding special on Jason Kennedy getting married. Another that so obviously screamed closet case.
