Cinderella’s Dad was broke when he died. The only reason he had money was due to his wife Cinderella’s mother came from money. When she died he ran out of money and needed to remarry to get more money.
So all the money he had when he died was Cinderella’s stepmother’s money.
Really the stepmother did Cinderella a favor by keeping her at the house.
In those times she could of been sold or married off.
And Cinderella never wanted to marry the prince she just wanted to have a night of dancing like her stepsisters.
It was just luck in a way that the prince fell in love with her and her him.
