Jon Bon Jovi’s mother, Carol A. Bongiovi, has passed away. Her age was 83. At Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey, Carol passed away on Tuesday, July 9, three days before her 84th birthday, according to the information that we have verified.
“Our mother was a formidable opponent; her enthusiasm and can-do attitude were the driving forces behind the formation of our family. We shall miss her very much,” Bon Jovi, who is 62 years old, said in a statement to us on behalf of the family.
Carol was a businesswoman who ran several enterprises in addition to being the creator of the fan club for the band that bore her son’s name. In 1959, the Playboy Bunny, who was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania, joined the United States Marine Corps. While serving her nation with distinction, she also had the opportunity to meet John Bongiovi, Sr., who would later become her husband.
After some time, the pair relocated to Sayreville, New Jersey, where she and her husband are now raising their children. After some time, they made their home in Holmdel, New Jersey, where she remained until the day she passed away.
In an interview with The Big Issue that took place in November 2020, Bon Jovi said that his parents were the ones who provided him with “the ability to make the dream reality.”
The statement that he made was as follows: “Even if you truly weren’t any good at your craft, you could work on it if you believed that you were.” “As I grew older, I realized that the gift that my parents gave me was a wonderful one. They had a deep and abiding faith in the John F. Kennedy slogan of sending a man to the moon. You can go to the moon, that is, of course. Leave me alone, Johnny.’ That’s where I ended up.”
The artist revealed how his parents encouraged him to pursue his aspirations by permitting him to perform when he was just 17 years old. They never failed to show their support for me, which, looking back, makes me feel quite grateful. Because I can get home at one or two in the morning, and I still have to be at school by eight o’clock, I find it difficult to go home. As he said, “They just told you to show up on time for school; you are aware that this is your responsibility; however, you should pursue your dream.”
The surviving members of Carol’s family include her husband of 63 years, their three sons and daughters-in-law, Dorothea and Jon Bon Jovi, Anthony and Nina Yang Bongiovi, and Matthew and Desiree Bongiovi, as well as her eight devoted grandkids.

Jon Bon Jovi Career
Jon phoned his buddy David Bryan in the spring of 1983, who then contacted his mates, bassist Alec John Such and drummer Tico Torres. Shortly after, guitarist Richie Sambora joined the band. Jon and the band released their first hit single, “Runaway.” Jon attempted unsuccessfully to persuade New York City radio stations to broadcast his record until one DJ agreed to play it. “Runaway” was an immediate smash, reaching the Top 40. Mercury Records signed Jon to a recording deal, and Bon Jovi was born. Bon Jovi released their first two albums in 1984 and 1985. Bon Jovi achieved worldwide fame with the 1986 publication of their third album, “Slippery When Wet.” That album produced three famous Bon Jovi hits: “Wanted Dead or Alive,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” and “Living on a Prayer,” the latter two of which reached number one. “Slippery When Wet” is the band’s most successful album. The band’s following album, “New Jersey,” included the singles “Born to Be Your Baby,” “Lay Your Hands On Me,” and “I’ll Be There For You,” among others.
Jon Bon Jovi’s net worth
Jon Bon Jovi, an American rock performer, singer, songwriter, record producer, guitarist, actor, and philanthropist, is worth $410 million. Jon Bon Jovi, the singer for one of the most popular, long-lasting (and weirdly underestimated) rock bands of all time, has remained almost unchanged from their inception. He has less hair today, of course, but he still resembles the fresh-faced musician from New Jersey who rose to prominence in the early 1980s. In addition to fronting Bon Jovi, he leads a genuine entertainment empire and oversees all aspects of the band’s recording, touring, and merchandise. He is also the former owner of the Philadelphia Soul football club and has had a reasonably successful acting career, co-starring in films such as “Moonlight and Valentino,” “The Leading Man,” “U-571,” and “New Year’s Eve,” among others. He has sold 130 million records worldwide, including 11 studio albums with Bon Jovi and two multi-platinum solo efforts. His success and famous commercial ability have enabled him to build a sizable fortune and real estate holdings.
In a regular touring year, Bon Jovi may easily earn $100-150 million. For example, in 2019, the band made $135 million globally. Jon made $40 million over the period.
