Cinderella’s new car is a Mercedes-Maybach S450, with an estimated price tag of $400,000 in Vietnam. While many praised Cinderella’s achievements, others sparked debates about how a 19-year-old could afford such an expensive car.
Netizens questioned whether Cinderella paid for the car herself or received financial support from her family. Some criticized her lavish lifestyle, contrasting it with her father’s humble image.
Addressing the controversy, Cinderella stated that while she bought the car herself, her family also contributed: “This car represents my efforts and those of my entire family. Every step I take is supported and encouraged by my loved ones, and I deeply appreciate that.”

Back in early December 2024, Cinderella drew attention when she posted videos of herself driving an Audi. At the time, rumors circulated that her parents had purchased the luxury vehicle for her.
However, Quyen Linh clarified that the Audi belonged to his wife and that Cinderella did not yet own a car. To facilitate her daily routine of driving her younger sister Hạt Dẻ around, Cinderella obtained both motorcycle and car licenses.
In an interview with Dân Trí at an awards ceremony late last year in Ho Chi Minh City, Cinderella expressed gratitude for her family’s unwavering support through every milestone of her life.
The daughter of artist Quyen Linh emphasized that she is not pursuing a professional career in entertainment. Her part-time modeling and advertising gigs help her cover tuition fees and save for the future.
As for MC Quyen Linh, he revealed that since Cinderella turned 18, he has encouraged her to manage her finances independently. He believes this fosters self-reliance and helps her appreciate the value of money.
“Using money earned through hard work makes you cherish it more. I let my children handle their tuition fees and buy what they want with their earnings. Of course, as parents, we’re always there to support them when needed,” Quyen Linh shared.
Cinderella, whose real name is Mai Thảo Linh, was born in 2006. Frequently attending events with her parents from a young age, she became comfortable in front of the camera and was soon sought after by brands for advertising campaigns.
Currently, Cinderella is a freshman at RMIT University in Southern Saigon. She is active on social media as a KOL (Key Opinion Leader) and occasionally participates in entertainment events.
