Justin Timberlake's Lyme Disease Battle Halts NSYNC Reunion as Net Worth Soars

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Justin Timberlake has made headlines over the past few days, most notably due to the indefinite postponement of a planned NSYNC reunion tour. According to Reality Tea, every band member was ready to celebrate the group’s 30th anniversary with a series of major concerts, but those plans are now on hold because Timberlake is battling Lyme disease. Insider sources quoted in US Weekly say JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick remained fully committed, but Timberlake’s health understandably takes precedence. NSYNC supporters recall that Timberlake completed his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in July despite the illness, earning praise even from bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick, who called his perseverance superhero status.

This health development is widely seen as a significant biographical moment. The NSYNC anniversary and possible reunion tour would have marked one of Timberlake’s most commercially and personally important comebacks in years. The fact that his illness has halted those plans signals not just a pause in his performing career but also affects the trajectory of NSYNC’s legacy as a supergroup. Timberlake’s battle with Lyme disease is authentic news, and public speculation now focuses on how quickly he'll recover and whether a future NSYNC reunion is even possible.

On the business front, Timberlake's financial empire continues to grow. The Tradable just reported that his net worth has reached an astonishing 400 million dollars in 2025, with earnings from touring, royalties, and ventures such as his William Rast clothing brand and real estate deals. The most transformative deal remains his 2022 sale of his entire song catalog to Hipgnosis Song Management for around 100 million dollars. He now brings in 50 to 60 million dollars annually, making him one of entertainment’s top earners.

There was social media buzz earlier this week revisiting Timberlake’s 2017 appearance at the Pilgrimage Music Festival, but the mention—circulating especially on Threads—was more nostalgic than tied to any current projects. Meanwhile, recent news from The Celeb Post and AOL described a concert he held at a racecourse that authorities deemed dangerously overcrowded, triggering restrictions on future events at the venue, though Timberlake himself faced no legal charges.

Financially, there have been rumors about Timberlake losing millions on the sale of his Memphis golf course, a business decision that—while a hit to his portfolio—is unlikely to affect his overall financial standing given his current net worth. Public reaction is more focused on his health and the NSYNC tour’s status than his real estate or business ventures.

Headlines about Timberlake this week aren’t about new releases or TV appearances—they center on his health battle, the fate of NSYNC, and the business moves that secure his legacy as a major force in pop culture. Speculation remains high about when he’ll return to the stage and what surprises may await if an NSYNC reunion does materialize.
