A young woman, known online as The Self-Made Barb, showcased her personalised Barbie-themed Jeep Wrangler, which costs roughly R1.2 million. Many people online were filled with admiration after seeing the stunning vehicle.

On 2 January 2026, the self-proclaimed business mogul uploaded a video in which her car's roof was removed, allowing her to "hit the streets." The main body was painted matte black, and the door handles and other accents were pink. On the side of the car read 'self-made Barbie,' a personal brand of which she was clearly proud.
