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!

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.

[@barbarapaparella1833]

He was always good with money. He bought his publishing in the early 90s.

RV was probably to go from show to show and save money

Part of his current wealth came from all the homes he bought back then. So I highly doubt he was ever flat broke living in an RV.🤣

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.

M.C Hammer is a class act, he is, but I wouldn't advise seeing his bad side back in his day. People talk s..t about how he blew his fortune from performing, cause he did make so much money in such a quick time, and unfortunately very often easy come easy go, but M.C Hammer did alot of good things for a lot of people with that money, it was not like he smoked it all up in crack and gambled it away at the casino. He gave loads of people an income and job to be proud of, while he single handedly stimulated several economies by touring and putting on elaborate stage shows, as well as made investments into people which you could say let him down. Like with any other cash machine cause M.C Hammer was a cash machine even if for only a 5 years he was how many people can say they have ever been, yet were quick to scoff at and put people down cause they only only did something for 5 years we never could even with help do. M.C Hammer is and was a great man should be the story and the narrative now that he blew 40 million or whatever the number was. Even the greatest sports player has a shelf life to making insane amounts of money per year, but what people do wirh the money when they have it IMO is the important thing, and M.C Hammer a real one put his friends and family on and brought income to the hood and put them and his entire city on 1 mans back, and is and will always be a legend in hip hop hes not a sentence or a page he is a chapter in that book, and 1 made was a factor in his hood, so people should think about all that before they talk s..t. thats my 2 cent thanks for reading this novel if you made it this far.

[@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.

As great as it is, didn’t it originate with the fraternity brothers chanting “ice ice baby, the Green and Gold?”

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.

Ya know, all these comments talk about how real Ice is...but he describes everyone he talks about as a "Legend". Thats both statistically impossible and capitulating.

I remember listening to the radio when this song first came out and so many people kept calling and requesting it that they actually had this big deal where they had a countdown and played it 99 times in a row! 😂😂😂
