A Brief Overview of Samantha Tamanya Anne Cecelia Mumba

Samantha Tamania Anne Cecilia Mumba, born on January 18, 1983, is a well-known Irish singer and actress. Her claim to fame was the release of her song “Gotta Tell You” in 2000. Mumba also gained recognition for her role in the movie “The Time Machine”.

As of mid-2017, reliable sources suggested that her net worth has reached over $5 million, which she accumulated through her career as a singer, actress, and endorsements with various brands since the late 1990s.

Assessed Net Worth: $5 Million

Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Mumba’s breakthrough in show business happened at an early age when she participated in “Let Me Entertain You”, a TV talent show, and caught the attention of Louis Walsh, a prominent music executive, who signed her to Polydor Records.

Following the signing, Mumba made the decision to drop out of school in order to focus on co-writing and recording her debut album “Gotta Tell You”. The album was released in 2000, and the title track became a chart-topper in Ireland and also made its mark on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Additionally, the single “Baby, Come Over” from the same album achieved significant success, leading to the album being certified platinum after surpassing one million copies in sales. This subsequent success significantly boosted her net worth.

In 2001, Mumba collaborated with the Celtic Tenors on the track “You Raise Me Up”. She also released a Christmas album titled “Samantha Sings Christmas” the same year. During this time, she delved into the film industry, starring in the 2001 movie “The Time Machine” alongside Guy Pearce and her real-life brother Omero. The film was a major box office success and received a nomination for Best Makeup at the Academy Awards. Her involvement in various projects and collaborations contributed to the growth of her wealth.

Returning to the music scene in 2002, Mumba released the single “I’m Right Here”. Despite its chart success, it did not reach the heights of her previous singles. She also teamed up with Filipino artist Jay R for the song “Just the Way You Are” in 2005, and subsequently released a compilation album in 2006 named “The Collection”.

Throughout the early 2000s, Mumba expanded her presence in the film industry, appearing in productions such as “Spin the Bottle”, “Boy Eats Girl”, “Johnny Was”, and “Shifter”. She also took on roles as a brand ambassador for Dior, Louise Kennedy, and Ultimo Per Amore. Her growing career in acting, singing, and endorsements continued to elevate her net worth.

In 2009, Mumba hinted at the release of her second album the following year. However, she did not follow up with a successor to “Gotta Tell You” and later announced in 2011 that she was retiring from music to focus on her acting career. Despite this, in 2013, she declared her return to the music scene via a statement on Twitter, with plans for a new album. In 2014, she released a new single titled “Only Just Begun”.

On a personal note, Mumba has been married to policeman Torray Sales since 2012, and they have a daughter named Sage.
