Vanilla Ice | Lighting Salesman

In the late ’80s, Vanilla Ice was one of the hit rappers to come into Hollywood. Real name Robert Winkle, he has popularized songs such as Ice Ice Baby, Play That Funky Music, and Ninja Rap. Vanilla Ice also ventured into being an actor, appearing in movies Cool as Ice and That’s My Boy. The man also made a name as a television host in his career in the entertainment industry. Although his career back then may have given him a fortune, enough to keep him free from money loans, he did not push through with it.

Vanilla Ice did not maintain his fame back in the days, so he chose to pursue another career instead. Despite being away from the limelight, he still stayed in the light, literally, with his work as a lighting salesman. He lives in Florida and works for Capitol Lighting. For several years, Vanilla Ice has taken pride in designing chandeliers and wall sconces. Specifically, he designed Vanilla Ice Lighting, his trademark project which he uses for selling pieces.
