Lance Bass: NSync Paid Me $35 a Day!
11 Oct
Summary
- NSync members received only $35 daily during peak fame.
- First checks for NSync members were around $10,000.
- Bass regrets NSync's breakup, wishes they stayed together.
Lance Bass recently disclosed on 'The Zach Sang Show' that *NSYNC members earned minimal income despite their immense popularity. During the group's height of fame, each member received a daily allowance of just $35. This limited compensation was surprising given the group's massive success with sold-out tours and hit records.
Further compounding the financial revelations, Bass shared that the group members received their first substantial check after achieving significant fame, totaling approximately $10,000. He indicated that the record company had profited significantly, particularly from merchandising, from which the band members reportedly received no share.
Bass also expressed disappointment with the adults who did not advocate for the young members of the group. Looking back, he regrets *NSYNC's decision to split, suggesting a preference for their continued collaboration similar to that of the Backstreet Boys. Despite the financial challenges early on, Bass has achieved personal success in the years following the group's hiatus.
