Pham Thanh Thao left showbiz for the US: Happy with her overseas Vietnamese husband, owns a fleet of cars worth 23 billion VND

Singer Pham Thanh Thao was born in 1979, famous in the early 2000s with songs:Dream of a House, Happy New Year Mom, Mom's Life, Old Days...She also hosted some programs such as:Music Garden, Melody of Love, Heart Gift...

In 2015, Pham Thanh Thao secretly married a Vietnamese American husband and then settled in the US. His name is Son Vo, he opened a private office in the field of tax, visa and immigration in Massachusetts, Boston, USA.

Pham Thanh Thao gave birth to her first child in 2015 and her second child in 2016. Since becoming a mother, she has limited her performances and spent most of her time taking care of her family and building her home.

Sharing with reporters, singer Pham Thanh Thao and her husband revealed that they just bought a Porsche Panamera to add to their collection.

Last month, the couple went to the official dealership to discuss ordering a car. Her husband assigned her to decide on most of the items such as car color, wheels, steering wheel, seat color, etc.

The singer suggested adding an exhaust because he liked the sound of the engine like a sports car. The total cost including tax is estimated at more than 150 thousand USD (about 3.8 billion VND).

The car was imported from Germany and customized to Pham Thanh Thao and his wife’s request over a period of 4 months. Every few days, the car company sent emails to inform about the progress of the process.

When asked why she ordered another car even though she already owned a fleet worth more than 23 billion VND, Pham Thanh Thao said: "The reason... is 'ridiculous' because the person who likes this car is my husband. I like high-chassis cars, but my husband kept persuading me, saying 'experience', 'test drive, if you don't like it, change it'... I had to give up and nod."

In response to the opinion that "buying a car is like buying a fish or a bunch of vegetables at the market", the female singer denied: "We consider many factors. My husband is passionate and knowledgeable about cars, so he still takes the time to read reviews from previous buyers. The most important thing for us is the quality of the car, whether it breaks down easily... The smarter and more electric German cars are, the more likely they are to have problems. Therefore, we don't care much about money, but the car must be beautiful and have as few problems as possible."

Singer Pham Thanh Thao and her husband own a fleet of cars including: Acura NSX 2021 worth 4.7 billion VND, Corvette C8.R 2022 worth 2.25 billion VND, Lamborghini Tecnica 2023 worth 8.6 billion VND, Audi Q8 2019 worth 1.85 billion VND, Lexus LS 500 2020 worth 2.5 billion VND, GMC Denali 2022 worth 1.6 billion VND and Toyota Sienna 2022 worth 1.38 billion VND.

On average, they change their car every 4 years - one of the reasons the Porsche Panamera will "arrive" at her house next August.

Among the cars, Pham Thanh Thao liked the yellow 2022 Corvette C8.R the most since she first immigrated to the US. After getting married, she sometimes confided this to her husband, but unexpectedly, he secretly ordered a car with the name "Pham Thanh Thao" engraved on it. When the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, the singer had to wait 18 months to officially receive the expensive gift from her husband.

Pham Thanh Thao and her husband love cars but know how to calculate so that their hobby does not become a financial burden. Each month, the family spends about 15 - 20 thousand USD (382 - 509 million VND) on expenses, including the cost of the cars.
