Birthdate | August 19, 1972 Most notably in the 1990s, she was dubbed by the media as the "new cantopop queen". On top of her celebrity status, Sammi's fortune is often reported by the local press. Many a times with income from outside the entertainment industry such as advertising and miscellaneous sources. In 2000 she was estimated to have a net worth of more than HK$100 million. In a 2002 publication, Cheng was listed as the highest paid female entertainer in Hong Kong, accompanying Jackie Chan who was the highest paid male entertainer at the time. Contrary to popular belief, "Twinnie" is not her birth name. The name came about when Sammi was still in school and her English Language teacher wanted everyone in class to have an English name. When Sammi turned to her sister for help, her sister came up with the name "Twinnie". The name was later changed to "Sammi" as "Sammi" sounds a little like "Sau Man". Cheng received her education at SKH St. Peter's Primary School and Tang Shiu Kin Victoria Government Secondary School. Although she came in third in the competition, the sponsoring record company, Capital Artists, saw her potential and offered her a recording contract. Cheng at the time was still in school, and had to balance her studies with her rising singing career. Before finishing school, Sammi had managed to release 3 full-length studio albums: "Sammi", "Holiday" and "Never Too Late". One of her first major award was the 1990 RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards, where she was recognized as a best new prospect. |
