Jonas shared that he’s “seen the beginning of success”, including “not knowing what money really was and understanding it”, as well as “losing almost all of it”.
Explaining he couldn’t get into too many details, Jonas said about nine years ago he was down to his last 10 per cent of his fortune after some bad investments.
“I invested in a bunch of property and doing other things and I was building at the time,” Jonas told host Lewis Howes.
“Sadly, it wasn’t the right partnership, if you know what I’m saying?”

He said he’s learned from it.
“Thankfully for life in general, like we have a second shot and bite at the apple with the band coming back together,” Jonas said.
“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 re-evaluated how to approach life from that perspective and looking to the future.”
The Jonas Brothers, made up of siblings Kevin, Joe and Nick formed in 2005 before splitting in 2013, and ultimately reuniting in 2019.
