Jonas Brothers' Reunion Saves Eldest Brother From Financial Fallout

In a twist straight from a Hollywood script, the 2019 Jonas Brothers reunion turned out to be a financial windfall for Kevin Jonas, the group's eldest member. Filial bonds became a fiscal lifesaver as the much-awaited Jonas Brothers reunion came as a godsend for Kevin, who was grappling with financial turbulence.

Scoring a candid confession about his financial missteps, host Lewis Howes of the School of Greatness podcast got Kevin to spill the beans. "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 revealed, placing emphasis on the humbling realization when he was left with "like, down to the one 10 percent."

The cash crunch episode, which Kevin vaguely situated around nine years ago, derived from an unfortunate turn of his realty investments. With not many specifics aired, he alluded to some misguided partnerships that led to losses. “I invested in a bunch of property … Sadly, it wasn’t the right partnership, if you know what I’m saying?”

Sibling trio Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas comprise the Jonas Brothers, who rose like a phoenix in 2019 following a split in 2013. Their 20th-anniversary celebrations are slated for an August grand finale with the “Jonas20: Living the Dream” tour, kicking off in New Jersey and featuring top-billed acts like the All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, and Marshmello.

In what turned out to be a serendipitous turn of events, Kevin's financial turmoil proved a lesson in disguise as the Jonas Brothers' comeback not only restored his fame but also helped rectify his fiscal stumble. “It actually was kind of fortuitous in a way. Like, 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,” he pondered as he closed the conversation on the podcast.
