NEW YORK: Singer Lance Bass has revealed that he made "hardly any money" during his time with *NSYNC.

The 47-year-old singer was part of the wildly popular boy band alongside JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Justin Timberlake from 1995 until their indefinite hiatus in 2002.

Speaking on The Zach Sang Show, Bass shared that in the early years, he and his bandmates lived off a per diem of just US$35 (about RM143) a day.

He added that their actual earnings were far lower than what people assumed.
