(ETH) – Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is considered to be the top disease expert in the U.S., is also the top-paid federal government employee in the U.S. as well and even—surpassing the president—according to a new report from the Freedom of Information Act request by OpenTheBooks.com.
According to Fox News, Fauci raked in $417,608.00 in 2019—topping his largest income ever—and in the previous two years he has earned a staggering $384,625.00. Forbes reported that from 2010 to 2019, Fauci, the head of the National Institute for Health, earned $3.6 million.
Fauci has reached celebrity status now as he has been embraced by the media and Hollywood who portrayed him as a “calming presence” during a tumultuous Trump administration, despite some controversy of detractors who reportedly claim that he was inconsistent with his messaging at the beginning of the pandemic and see him as a career bureaucrat relishing in his newfound stardom.
According to a report, Fauci had an interview with actor Matthew McConaughey back in August 2020 where McConaughey asked Fauci if he had millions invested in COVID-19 vaccines and Fauci responded, “Matthew, no…I got zero. I am a government worker. I have a government salary.”
