How rich is Maia Campbell? As of mid-2016, sources estimate a net worth that is at $1,000, mostly earned through her career as an actress.

A mental disorder causes her to act unusually, and also lessened her chances for acting opportunities. Time will tell if she can move past her difficulties and increase her wealth.

While pursuing her acting career, she also attended Spelman College in Atlanta, but continued to act, mainly in small roles, although eventually became reclusive and appearing less and less on television. Her latest appearance was as herself in an episode of “Iyanla: Fix My Life” during 2012.
For her personal life, it was discovered that she had bipolar disorder, which she tried to hide during her career. This fact was confirmed in her mother’s book “Sometimes My Mommy Gets Angry” which was about a mother and daughter’s mental condition. She married Elias Gutierrez in 1998 and they had a daughter but the marriage ended in 2002. She stopped treatment for bipolar disorder during this time, and was arrested for various crimes which include prostitution, theft and drug possession. Viral videos were also released on the internet showcasing her irrational behavior, which according to reports was a result of drug addiction which made her condition worse. She was sent to a mental facility in 2010, and was released two years later. After her release, she appeared in “Iyanla: Fix My Life”, in which she was reunited with her daughter. This was not the end however, as she was arrested twice in 2015, for disorderly conduct and verbally attacking a family in a Burger King restaurant.
