As the champion of the Young Rich and Famous Hong Kong Celebrities Ranking for the second year in a row, Ah Sa who has 200 million in assets uses facts as proof. She does not need to rely on the wealth and influence of her ex-husband's grandfather. However, her gross income has declined by 5 million from last year's 35.5 million. Just like before, Ah Sa's main source of income this year is with respect to endorsement income. All year long, she has had at least 10 advertisements in her pocket, from clothing and beverage to makeup, skincare, estate, consisting of all aspects. There is nothing that is left out, especially seizing Adidas 2011 Women's Sportswear and Coca-Cola advertisements in one go. As a result, even though the number of endorsements is fewer than last year, her endorsement income has slightly increased. However, her gross income this year has decreased in comparison to previous years. The reason is because in terms of movies and television, besides one TV series filmed this year, Ah Sa has had little presence. (TN: Charlene's absence in filming for movies and television has been largely due to Twins' Mandarin album promotional tour spanning from July to September, followed immediately by Twins' World Concert Tour) Up until now, Twins' 2011 World Concert Tour which was meant to be the highlight has held 4 concerts (TN: 5 concerts have been held). An individual working in the business of concerts in Hong Kong and mainland has revealed that the package price for 1 Twins concert is approximately 2 - 2.5 million. Fortunately in terms of events, Ah Sa is still as active, traveling back and forth to every part of the country, raking in money. From Fuzhou to Xining, her busy silhouette stays behind. To support her income, Ah Sa with an investment mind has 5 properties in her hand, among which 3 are rented out.
