It’s been 30 years since Vanilla Ice’s hit song “Ice, Ice Baby” was released. The song is still making Vanilla Ice a mountain of money every year. Each year, Ice makes a whopping $400,000 a year from royalties alone. Now that’s a lot of passive income from one song alone.

Although the song had gone through a major scandal after its release due to the song sampled a song by Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure”.
