Vanilla Ice was a superstar. For a few short years in the early 1990s Vanilla Ice was on top of the world. He starred in movies and his song Ice, Ice Baby was at the top of the charts. He even dated Madonna. This initial success was short lived, however, in the years that followed he continued to make music that appealed to an underground music audience, which is what he preferred, but his mainstream fame had waned.
Then, something curious happened. A long time hobby of Robert Matthew Van Winkle (Ice's real name) sprung him back in front of a mainstream audience. This hobby was flipping houses. After over a decade of working in home improvement, flipping houses and growing a real estate empire, his efforts were noticed and he landed his own DIY Network television show. Follow Vanilla Ice's journey from hip-hop and break-dancing icon to house flipping mastermind in this timeline infographic.
