Vanilla Ice built multimillion-dollar real estate empire by 'doing nothing'

Vanilla Ice bought a number of homes at the height of his fame and made "millions" when he finally sold them.

"I did 'Ice Ice Baby’ when I was like 16, and then I went on the Stop the Violence tour, and then I went out with [MC] Hammer and I did all this, and it blew up really big, and we’re selling a million records a day easy and just way beyond any of my expectations," the rapper told "Jackass" star Steve-O on a recent episode of his " Wild Ride!" In 2012, Ice told Fox News Magazine he likes touse earth tones, throw pillows and crown molding"to make a home cozy and inviting." He's also a self-proclaimed fan of "less carbon footprint stuff" and likes to use "LED lights or air conditioners that blow over a block of ice and cool your house instead of the old compressor unit" to reduce electricity use.
