Vanished star quits LA for wild drug life at 72<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018Tough\u2019: Warne hid wealth for kids not wives<\/a><\/p>\n The group \u2013 consisting of JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass \u2013 has sold over 70 million records. Picture: Getty<\/p>\n JC Chasez: Net Worth $24m ($US16m)<\/p>\n JC Chasez quietly turned to real estate to build his millions.<\/p>\n He bought an Orlando mansion in 2000 for $1.8m ($US1.2m) and later sold it for $2.5m ($US1.7m ). <\/p>\n The pop star also bought a $1.5m ($US1m) Los Angeles home in 2000, before gifting another long-held Florida property to his parents in 2015.<\/p>\n While Timberlake exploded with his debut solo album Justified, Chasez faced a tougher road ahead. <\/p>\n Following *NSYNC\u2019s split, the entertainer landed minor film roles and sporadic TV guest appearances. <\/p>\n The singer officially kicked off his music career in 2002 with the track Blowin\u2019 Me Up (With Her Love), featured on the Drumline movie soundtrack. <\/p>\n JC Chasez (left) quietly turned to real estate to build his millions. Picture: Leon Bennett\/Getty Images for Lifetime<\/p>\n In 2004, he released Schizophrenic, his first and only solo album. However, promotion for the record was completely overshadowed by Timberlake\u2019s infamous Super Bowl halftime show with Janet Jackson. <\/p>\n Chasez planned to drop a follow-up album, The Story of Kate, in 2006. But despite releasing two singles, the project was scrapped in 2007 when he parted ways with Jive Records.<\/p>\n Stepping back from the microphone, the pop icon pivoted into songwriting and producing for acts like the Backstreet Boys. <\/p>\n In 2012, he launched auditions for an all-girl group called Girl Radical. The group released a few tracks, but the project failed to gain traction. He later joined the North American tour of Jesus Christ Superstar as Pontius Pilate. <\/p>\n However, the production was abruptly cancelled in May 2014 due to poor ticket sales. <\/p>\n Chasez partnered with his parents to buy a mansion in Orlando, Florida.

Picture: YouTube\/Yachadvibes<\/p>\n Justin Timberlake: Net Worth $372m ($US250m) combined with wife Jessica Biel<\/p>\n As the group\u2019s breakout solo star, Justin Timberlake used hit songs like Cry Me a River and SexyBack to fund a massive property empire across America. <\/p>\n That portfolio was topped off in 2022 when he sold his song catalogue to Hipgnosis Song Management in a lucrative $150m ($US100m) deal. <\/p>\n Justin Timberlake has quietly built a fortune in elite real estate.<\/p>\n He bought a New York penthouse in 2017 for $US20.2m ($30m) before selling it for $43m ($US29m) in 2022. <\/p>\n The pop star also sold a Soho penthouse for $US6.6m ($10m) and a 130-acre Tennessee estate for $US8m ($12m).<\/p>\n However, he is holding onto his 10-acre Hollywood Hills estate and a private mountain retreat in Montana\u2019s ultra-private Yellowstone Club.<\/p>\n Justin Timberlake used hit like Cry Me a River and SexyBack to fund a massive property empire across America.

He also established his own commercial production firm. <\/p>\n The singer channelled those post-pop earnings straight into California real estate. In 2013, he purchased a Sherman Oaks mansion for $2.3m ($US1.5m). <\/p>\n Following extensive renovations, the property has surged in value to an estimated $6.1m ($US4m). <\/p>\n His current real estate wealth stands in stark contrast to his early days in pop music. <\/p>\n In 2002, Timberlake took a hiatus to pursue a solo career, effectively ending the group. <\/p>\n While Bass admitted he was initially hurt by the decision, the former bandmates now maintain a good relationship.<\/p>\n Lance Bass (right) shannelled those post-pop earnings straight into California real estate.<\/p>\n However, the financial reality during the group\u2019s peak was far more toxic. <\/p>\n In late 1998, after years of global hit records, the band members expected a six-figure payday. <\/p>\n Instead, manager Lou Pearlman handed them a cheque for just $38,000 ($US25,000). <\/p>\n Outraged, Bass promptly tore the cheque up. <\/p>\n \u201cAfter three years of doing this, having a No. 1 album, being the biggest band in the world, we weren\u2019t seeing any paychecks,\u201d Bass told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> in 2014. <\/p>\n Pearlman and restrictive label deals had siphoned off the vast majority of their earnings. <\/p>\n \u201cWell, the worst thing is people thinking that we were rich, because we were not,\u201d Bass told The Jess Cagle Show<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were famous, but we were not rich. I made way more money after *NSYNC than I did during *NSYNC.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cHe really took a majority of all of our stuff, and the record label, too \u2026 horrible, horrible deals.\u201d <\/p>\n Bass said he made way more money after *NSYNC. Picture: Jerod Harris\/Getty Images for Environmental Media Association<\/p>\n Joey Fatone: Net Worth $10.4m ($US7m)<\/p>\n At the height of *NSYNC\u2019s global fame, Joey Fatone appeared to have it all. But when the group split in 2002, his fortune vanished almost overnight. <\/p>\n Without a steady income, the singer hit a rock-bottom period that left him facing bankruptcy and having his electricity shut off at Christmas. <\/p>\n \u201cThere was never a conversation, per se. There was never a goodbye. There was never anything,\u201d Fatone revealed in the documentary Boy Band Confidential: A Hollywood Demons Event. <\/p>\n Before the split, Fatone had purchased a sprawling 1142sq m (12,300-square-foot) mansion in Orlando, Florida. <\/p>\n At the time, his accountant assured him he was financially secure. <\/p>\n \u201cMoney was coming in. I asked my accountant, \u2018Hey, are we good?\u2019 \u2018Yeah, we\u2019re great.\u2019 \u2018I\u2019m OK to buy this house, right?\u2019 He goes, \u2018Your kids\u2019 kids\u2019 kids will be fine,\u2019\u201d Fatone recalled. <\/p>\n But the accountant had no idea the band\u2019s regular paydays were about to end. <\/p>\n By 2011, Fatone\u2019s financial situation was so dire that a new accountant urged him to sell the property immediately to avoid total bankruptcy. <\/p>\n \u201cHe goes, \u2018You need to get out of that house, or you\u2019re gonna go bankrupt.\u2019 I went, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, what?\u2019\u201d Fatone said. <\/p>\n When the group split in 2002, Joey Fatone\u2019s fortune vanished almost overnight. Picture: Eugene Gologursky\/Getty Images for Macy\u2019s, Inc.<\/p>\n Fatone was forced to sell the massive mansion for $5m ($US3.3m), roughly half its original asking price. <\/p>\n The money squeeze hit a devastating peak during the holiday season. <\/p>\n \u201cThere was one point during Christmas, they shut off the lights to my house because I didn\u2019t pay the bill,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n \u201cI almost was gonna go bankrupt. And I have a family. This is when I am married, I have two kids.\u201d <\/p>\n Swallowing his pride, Fatone asked wealthy acquaintances for help, but was turned away. <\/p>\n With options running out, he moved his then-wife Kelly Baldwin and two children in with his parents in Las Vegas. <\/p>\n \u201cI lived in Vegas for almost a year, busted my a** to slowly build back up kind of a career,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n \u201cI went from performing in stadiums to, a year later, two years later, doing Broadway and then, all of a sudden, doing The Price Is Right at Bally\u2019s, a live show in front of maybe 100 people.\u201d <\/p>\n Fatone eventually turned his life around by embracing hosting roles, game shows, and acting gigs like My Big Fat Greek Wedding. <\/p>\n Today, he has rebuilt his net worth to an estimated $10.7m ($US7m). <\/p>\n \u201cYou just have to think and realise there\u2019s always light at the other side,\u201d Fatone said. <\/p>\n Fatone was forced to sell Florida mansion for $US3.3m, roughly half its original asking price. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n Chris Kirkpatrick: Net Worth $15m ($US10m)<\/p>\n Chris Kirkpatrick famously founded and recruited the members of *NSYNC. <\/p>\n While he may not have reached Justin Timberlake\u2019s solo pop heights, he has quietly built a $15.3m ($US10m ) fortune of his own. <\/p>\n Following the group\u2019s 2002 hiatus, the singer pivoted into an entertainment career, most notably voicing pop star Chip Skylark on Nickelodeon\u2019s hit show The Fairly OddParents.<\/p>\n He also appeared on reality series including Celebrity Big Brother and Gone Country, guest-starred on The Simpsons, and landed film roles in projects such as Sharknado 3.<\/p>\n Chris Kirkpatrick (right) famously founded and recruited the members of *NSYNC. Picture: Jamie McCarthy\/Getty Images for MTV<\/p>\n During *NSYNC\u2019s late-1990s peak, Kirkpatrick established an urban skater clothing line, Fu-Man Skeeto, before shifting his earnings into residential property.<\/p>\n He purchased a premium 587sq m (6,314-square-foot) lakefront mansion in Orlando\u2019s exclusive, gated Vizcaya community.<\/p>\n Kirkpatrick held the luxury property for years before locking in a clean $2.6m ($US1.69m) sale in 2018.<\/p>\n Following the sale, he relocated his family to a permanent home in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n Alongside his TV and property ventures, Kirkpatrick formed a post-*NSYNC rock band, Nigels11, and remains active supporting music education through his charitable foundation.<\/p>\n MORE: Massive fortune Sam Neill left behind<\/a><\/p>\n Vanished Xena star\u2019s shock life now<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018Sad\u2019: Vanished Fabio\u2019s life at 67, one \u2018regret\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boy band sensation *NSYNC shattered records by selling 2.4 million copies of their hit album No Strings Attached…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":817651,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-817650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=817650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817650\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/817651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=817650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=817650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=817650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n
