Cool Jon Bon Jovi - Feature in Forbes

Great article featuring Jon on Forbes.com.

Talks about Jon's business-background, the success of the band's touring, and him sucking at Rock Band! =)

- Enjoy!

He's losing the looks.

I thought he was Iggy Pop for a minute in that photo.

Thanks for posting, intersting article. I was kind of suprised regarding that the money "it isn't an equal partnership: Bon Jovi keeps the bulk of the earnings, whereas bands like U2 split proceeds evenly." I figured the 4 would split evenly with smaller amounts to Bobby & Hugh. Wonder what the split is?

Not surprising at all, when you consider the man at the helm.

I'm sure Jon is more excited about being interviewed by Forbes then he would have been by any artistic publication.

There is no way bon jovi did 240 shows from 1986-1988 and avg bon jovi fan makes $79,000 a year maybe that's why Jon charging higher prices and bon jovi
has 20 different price points maybe that info came from bon jovi camp

I heard that in the 80s, it was like...90% to Jon...
10% for the rest of the band and crew.
Dont know if this is right, and if it is...if they still do that...
