Anthony Fauci: The Highest-Paid Employee of the Federal Government
It’s likely that Fauci, at some point in the last forty years, has had opportunities to decamp for the private sector and earn a much higher salary than even the $417,608 he’s making now.
Ever since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci has been one of the government’s most public faces. The longtime head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has at times been a controversial figure, especially when he clashed with former President Trump. Fauci has remained in his position in the Biden administration and has in recent days been doing a round of media interviews, opening up for the first time publicly about his disagreements with the previous administration.
