Vanilla Ice – Net Worth $12 Million

Robert Matthew Van Winkle, better known by his stage name Vanilla Ice, was born in Dallas, Texas, on October 31, 1967. Ice Ice Baby was a huge hit back in the 90s and it’s no surprise that Rapper Vanilla Ice was also very popular at that time. The song was such a success that it was the first to reach the Billboard charts. However, the once-popular rapper made a drastic switch in his career after a failed suicide attempt.

Would you believe he pursued a real estate dealership after leaving the entertainment business? Yes, you may see him wearing formal clothes in exchange for the baggy ones he once wore. Good thing he appears now and then on television and movies, playing the icon that he is. We think it was a smart choice to keep his money in investments and real estate.
