What is Contessa Metcalfe's net worth? One of the richest 'Married to Medicine' star was a Navy flight surgeon
Born in Kansas City, MO, on June 4, 1976, Contessa was always a high achiever and that reflects in the way she shaped her career. But before she focused on medicine, the doctor-reality TV star was a cheerleader and homecoming queen at school.
Her early years helped her build a knack for multitasking, a skill she has mastered over the years. Contessa is a mother, wife, doctor, entrepreneur and TV star, all rolled in one. No wonder she has amassed an impressive wealth over the last two decades. A CheatSheet report points out her net worth is at $3 million, making her one of the richest 'M2M' stars.

"Dr Contessa attended Xavier University where she earned her undergraduate degree and for medical school, she attended St Louis University," her Bravo bio read, which also pointed out how while at St Louis she knew there was more to what she was doing. She was looking for a purpose. Contessa joined the navy and became a flight surgeon at the National Naval Medical Center.
As we said, she is a woman with purpose and unless you have traveled far and wide, it's difficult to have one. During one of the many journeys she took to feed her adventurous soul, the doctor met now-husband Dr Scott Metcalfe and fell in love. The two were attending a medical conference. The couple has been married almost 16 years and shares three kids together, daughters Lauren and Laila and son Landon. They have a pet tortoise.
The family is a happy one but not devoid of controversies. In Season 8, we see Contessa and Scott tackle their relationship as it starts to crumble after cheating accusations. But that's water under the bridge now. Early February, in an interview with Madame Noire, she said how talking about the bitterness and differences on the show was needed and proved helpful.
"The only time that’s uncomfortable is when someone walks up to you and just starts talking to you and giving you very intimate advice as they know you. But for the most part, I don’t. I really value transparency and it’s been very cathartic for me," she told the outlet.
Contessa's area of focus is "occupational and preventive medicine" and needless to say, she's very passionate about her line of work and it shows on her social media feeds. She's active across platforms and has been encouraging followers worldwide to adopt preventive measure to keep Covid-19 at bay. This aside, she runs a medical concierge service called Acute Face MD using which, she provides VIP services to clients.
