How does a practicing OB-GYN go from $8 million to over $20 million in net worth in just four years?

In this Milestones to Millionaire episode, Allen returns four years after his first appearance on the podcast to share how a combination of disciplined investing and a major practice buyout transformed his financial picture. He walks through his full portfolio breakdown, which is nearly all invested in equities. The biggest driver of growth, though, was a hospital system's buyout of his group's stake in a jointly owned single specialty hospital, which resulted in a payout north of $4 million pretax per partner.

Allen also discusses why he continues working full time despite having far more than enough money, citing both income and a genuine sense of identity and purpose tied to his career. He and his wife are now navigating more complex estate planning decisions, working with an attorney to structure trusts for their six children and future grandchildren, while trying to strike a balance between generosity and enabling dependency.

His advice for younger physicians pursuing a similar path: pay yourself first, live within your means, and marry well, since a long, stable career combined with consistent saving can produce outcomes far beyond what most people expect.
