I don't get this whole Jon Bon Jovi being a great business man thing. What has he done besides his own music that was so great?

He failed at a movie career. He failed as a Music Executive in the early 90's. The few things he's endorsed like when he was doing that cologne ad failed. He doesn't own any restaurants. He said multiple times that the Philly Soul thing didn't make any money, which was for charity and he's not even apart of it anymore anyway.

Ok, he manages his band and made a decision when he was 22 to be the only one on the contract. Great! But what else? Everything else he does is for charity and he always needs to bring his music into it for support and promotion. Even when he sold season tickets for the Soul. They included a free Bon Jovi mini concert.
