Rob Van Winkle aka Vanilla Ice once scored on one of the most infamous one-hit-wonders in American music history. For you young people out there that hear Ice Ice Baby at the club, and you think it’s a joke, just know that once upon a time, Ice Ice Baby really was getting actual radio play on all the hip-hop stations that you probably listen to right now.
Unfortunately, Vanilla’s ex wife, Laura Van Winkle is screaming out, “I want half Eddie!” According to the Jasmine Brand, back in 2017, a court ordered Vanilla to pay Laura monthly pre-divorce support payments. Apparently, Laura has just been getting by on bad credit card debt. Not anymore…
Now, the Judge is ordering Vanilla to pay his ex-wife $110K in owed pre-divorce support, and at least $7,191 a month to Laura for her house expenses, health insurance, and car loans. The Judge even ordered the rapper to pay for his wife’s legal fees as well.
However, the Court Affidavits do suggest that Vanilla Ice actually has a little bit of bread to burn. He reportedly is bringing in about $800K per year; has about $9 million in the bank; plus, Vanilla has about $8 million in liquid assets—ranging from properties, vehicles, and a boat too.
