The joke is it's "rags to riches" because she went from driving her mom's Porsche (a luxury sports car brand) to having her own special ordered Porsche. If they've got a Porsche the only rags they've seen are the ones they use so they don't have to touch poor people

    I appreciate it, but you re-explained the parts that I did understand. Who is this Jennie? Why does their parent have a porche? Who's the person commenting (in the event that it matters vs just some random internet person)./

    Honestly, it doesn't really matter, the joke works without knowing who it is. But it looks like this was the singer "Jennie" from a Korean Girl Group called Blackpink. A lot of these groups will swap out members to keep the fame and fans of the group but allow talent to move on/retire, looks like Jennie is a new member and she's doing so well because she was able to order her own Porsche. Yay for Jennie pulling herself up by her gold inlaid bootstraps.

    I was curious about the family connection. Was the mother already rich/famous? It implies the subject didn't buy her mom the first car, so I assume so. The wikipedia linked didn't have anything for a ctrl+f on 'mother'
