--------
In this clip, Vlad drew contrasts between Vanilla Ice's music career and that of Joe Smith, an NBA star whose fortune fell apart due to mishaps in his personal life and mismanagement of funds. Vlad posed a question to Vanilla Ice about his financial stability, which the rapper confirmed is quite strong, mainly due to smart investments and avoidance of financial disasters that often plague celebrities. He then proceeded to discuss his continued contributions to the music industry and the lasting impact of his 90s anthem "Ice Ice Baby."

When I was 15 years old in 1996, I saw a tv show about Vanilla Ice and how he was running an extreme sports store in Miami. I called information (411) in Miami and got the phone number. I had to do it that way because the internet wasn't the internet back then. I kept calling the store asking for Rob. Finally, he was there and I got to talk to him. I remember him asking "who is this?" I said oh I am just a fan! So me, a fan he didn't know bothering him at work... But he was extremely nice to me. He talked to me for a short while, and I asked him about the music he was working on. I never forgot how nice he was to me, just over the phone. I have told many people about how good he was. Thanks Ice! You're the man!

Exactly. It's funny how average ppl will call a celebrity broke when they earn way less than the person they're calling broke.

I saw vanilla ice when he had his nu metal band at Birch hill in New jersey in the late 90's. He was dead broke in an RV. I'm glad he's in a good place. I wish Vlad talked about this era because he went from 100 to 0 real quick way before vh1 in the early 2000s. Vlad glossed over the mid-late 90s when he was in dive bars. He was great live but we have a huge gap in this story and if he did his research this would be fascinating.

Most ppl that achieve fame will never stay broke unless they don't learn from the mistakes that caused them to go broke the first time. They will always have a big fan base and can use that to make money from different avenues. Mike Tyson, MC Hammer, Scott Storch, Fat Joe, hell even Elvis all went broke at some point but all still ended up in the top 1% financially. There's lots of wealthy ppl that share the same story

[@dmar5714]

It aint about making mistakes you can go broke by just sitting on money regardless of how much you have you got to contine to make income because you cant grow your money when you have subtractions with no additions

[@JohnWilkes-mg8di]

That's why I mentioned the fan base and the opportunity of different avenues of income that a famous person will always have. Unless a famous person continues to make bad decisions with money they will not stay broke because will always have their fame and fanbase to create a steady stream of income to rebuild wealth.

[@Leo-gh7nz]

In the past it was common to stay broke and for former celebs to get random jobs to stay afloat. Nowadays I agree it's near impossible because social media/internet makes it easy to monetize your fame and directly access your entire fanbase.

[@JohnWilkes-mg8di]

@@Leo-gh7nz Yep even celebs that hadn't had a major movie, TV show, song, etc in decades can rebuild wealth thanks to social media thru scheduling meet and greets, charging fees for small projects, endorsement deals, paid promotions, etc as long as they have a name that can attract attention and a decent number of followers online they can make more than enough money to become a millionaire even if they lost it all before.

A handful of these rappers if they're very lucky will have a year or two where they'll make major coin; maybe 10 million a year and they'll have the lifestyle to match. Then, suddenly they're no longer hot anymore, people move on and those rappers the following year may "only" make 2 million dollars for that year. They're still rich by most peoples standards but they've already got used to living and spending like someone on 10 million. There's a big difference in the kind of lifestyle you can have on 2 million a year vs 10 million a year. That sudden drop in lifestyle can be very tough for them both mentally and financially.

[@GORILLA_PIMP]

Right it unbelievable how so many make crazy bank but end up completely busted

[@Leo-gh7nz]

Real estate can go bad really quick if you do it wrong. A pro athlete would be much better off putting a chunk of money into a Trust or similar vehicle where they can't touch any of the principle for the rest of their lives, but it produces an annual income for their benefit. If Joe Smith had put away just $5M into something like that, it would essentially guarantee him $200k/year (and adjusting upwards for inflation) for the rest of his life. Not baller money, but enough to be comfortable and not have to worry about money for the rest of his life. And that's assuming everything else went wrong and he had no other money or income streams.

I don’t know anyone who bought Vanilla Ice album and I was born in 81. Ice Ice Baby is played by everyone else that’s not black but it’s a win for him anyway

What's black? You sound so stupid. I got zero respect for MF's like yourself. You born in 81 I'm in 78. Some folks never grow up and you a great example.
