JOE JONAS FAN

Teen Entrepeneurs

For the Jonas Brothers–Kevin (21), Joe (19) and Nick (16)–celebrity entrepreneurship is a family affair. Nick was the first to dive into entertainment at the age of 6 by starring in the Broadway play “A Christmas Carol,” which led to other Broadway roles; later, in 2004, he recorded a Christmas song and signed on with INO Records, a division of Columbia Records.

His big brothers got involved writing his debut album, and soon the Jonas Brothers were a trio act. In 2007 they landed a guest spot on (surprise) Disney’s Hannah Montana. Recently, they released their first feature film called Jonas Brothers–The 3-D Concert Experience, and now are filming a Disney Channel series, called JONAS, loosely based on their lives. Their first book (yes, these boys have one of those too), called Burning Up: On Tour With the Jonas Brothers, has sold 170,000 copies.

All that fame and money notwithstanding, the kids also know how to give back: They recently donated $1.2 million to their Change for the Children Foundation–which they started and fund–to support Diabetes research, children’s hospitals and performing arts summer programs.
