Lance Bass Says *NSYNC Paid Him $35 a Day During the Band’s Rise

• 

  Lance Bass said he received a per diem of $35 a day while *NSYNC was rising to fame.

• 

  Bass said he earns some residuals from *NSYNC but that the payments are small, and that he made far more money after the group went on hiatus.
