Former 'N Sync member Lance Bass revealed in a podcast that the boyband members received a daily allowance of only 35 US dollars for years. This paltry sum contrasts sharply with the millions of dollars their record company earned from merchandise sales. Bass detailed the financial arrangement, highlighting a significant imbalance between the band’s income and the profits generated from their popularity. The revelation sheds light on potentially exploitative practices within the music industry during the height of 'N Sync’s success. He implied a lack of financial literacy amongst the band members contributed to their acquiescence to the terms. Bass’s comments spark renewed discussion about artist compensation and the control record labels historically held over their performers. This information provides insight into the business side of the hugely popular 'N Sync.
