Lance Bass Claims *NSYNC Members Earned Only $35 Daily During Peak Fame
Lance Bass stated on The Zach Sang Show that *NSYNC members received a per diem of $35 daily and a single $10,000 check after years of top-charting success. He alleged that record labels and manager Lou Pearlman profited significantly while the band members were underpaid. Bass noted that he has earned more money since the group's 2002 hiatus than during its active years, though he expressed no current resentment toward the situation.
