Jon Bon Jovi and Oprah
No Place Like Home

When Jon isn't performing to sold-out crowds, he's at home at his New Jersey estate with Dorothea, his high school sweetheart of 16 years, and their four children. What are some of Jon's other passions? Football and Philly. The football fanatic even bought his own team two years ago, the Philadelphia Soul.

He credits much of his success to his wife and staying close to his roots. "She truly is my best friend because she just gives me all the support and common sense," Jon says of Dorothea. "She's the one that wakes up and goes, 'Here you go, rock star, take a look in the mirror this morning!'"
