From fame to working a 9-to-5: The struggles of being a D-listed celebrity

Vanilla Ice

Vanilla Ice was the king of the hip-hop world in the late ’80s and early ’90s, thanks to his hit song “Ice Ice Baby.” But despite his initial success, the rapper knew that fame and fortune in the music industry can be fleeting. So, in the mid ’90s, he decided to hedge his bets and start studying real estate.

Yes, you read that right – Vanilla Ice, master of the mic, was also a master of the housing market. And he was so good at it that he even wrote a book on the subject. Now, we know what you’re thinking – how could anyone possibly make real estate sound cool? But leave it to Vanilla Ice to find a way. We have a feeling his book was filled with all sorts of funky real estate lingo, like “Yo, this duplex is da bomb,” and “This townhouse is off the hook, yo.” And who knows, maybe he even rapped his way through a few open houses. Vanilla Ice may not be topping the charts anymore, but we have a feeling he’s still making moves in the real estate world.
