Lance Bass earned only 35 dollars a day during *NSYNC's heyday

Lance Bass revealed that he earned only 35 dollars per day at the height of his fame with the boy band *NSYNC. He explained that the vast majority of the group's earnings went to management and the record label rather than the members.

Former *NSYNC member Lance Bass recently revealed that he earned remarkably little during the height of the boy band's fame. Speaking on the Zach Sang Show, Bass stated that he made only 35 dollars per day while the group was actively touring and recording. He explained that most of the revenue generated by the band was absorbed by the record label and their management rather than the artists themselves.

Despite the massive global success of hits like Bye Bye Bye, which saw millions of albums sold, Bass noted that he saw very little financial gain during those years. While he still receives small royalty payments, he clarified that his personal earnings only improved significantly after the group disbanded in 2002. Alongside bandmates Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick, Bass helped define the late 1990s pop era, yet he remains without resentment regarding the financial arrangements of that time.
