As a child, Lance had a very profound interest in space and even travelled to watch a space shuttle launch in Florida. At the age of 10, he developed a passion for singing and sang in a local Baptist church choir. He joined different music groups, competitions, and focused more on singing than academics. In 1995, he received a call from Justin Timberlake who wanted him to audition for a part in the pop group called ‘N Sync. He joined the group and became the bass singer of the five. The group then found a recording deal and even defended Bass despite producers thinking that he was too slow in adjusting. The group became a big success and one of the pop sensations during the 1990s up to the early 2000s. They sold millions of copies of their albums and went on to become an international icon, performing in various stages all over the world. However, in 2002, NSYNC disbanded and each member of the group went on to their separate careers. Lance’s net worth was well established.
Nearing the end of ‘N Sync, Lance had taken the opportunity to do other things. He guest starred in the popular television series “7th Heaven” and also acted in the movie “On the Line” whose sales didn’t go so well. He believed the movie suffered bad timing since it was released during the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks.
He then created a music management company called Free Lance Productions, which eventually folded due to low sales. Lance would later make appearances in films like “Zoolander” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”. He also did some voice work for video games and animation like “Kingdom Hearts” and “Disney’s Kim Possible”. All contributed to his net worth.
Bass underwent astronaut training for several months in Russia and the United States, which discovered that he had cardiac arythmia and needed surgery, which was completely successful/. He was set to go into space and do a documentary but this plan was soon discontinued after his sponsors backed out, and he was unable to continue on his trip without enough financial backing.
Lance Bass currently has two production companies, A Happy Place which is a film production company and Lance Bass Productions which is said to focus on documentaries and television shows. He appeared in season 7 of the television show “Dancing with the Stars” and even got to third place. He also became the host of the radio show “Dirty Pop with Lance Bass” on Sirius XM.
Following controversy during the early and mid-2000s, Lance eventually ‘outed’ himself as gay in a feature by People Magazine during 2006, having previously dated actress Danielle Fishel. He subsequently married Michael Turchin in 2014, attended by members of ‘N Sync except for Justin Timberlake who was touring at the time.
