A report indicated that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s income increased to around $15 million between 2019 and the end of 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci was the former director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The New York Post reported this on Monday based on information gathered by the monitoring group OpenTheBooks.
According to the 141 pages of financial disclosure papers that the monitoring group obtained, Fauci’s net worth increased from approximately $7.6 million in January 2019 (before the COVID-19 pandemic) to approximately $15 million by the end of 2023.
The doctor who clashed with Trump during his first time as president allegedly amassed a fortune during the pandemic, according to the story.
“While families and small businesses struggled through school closures and lost income, Dr. Fauci’s assets soared during the worst of the draconian COVID-19 lockdowns,” stated John Hart, CEO of Open the Books.
“His first year of’retirement,’ it seems, was filled with steady income. Despite his wife’s continued position as the chief bioethicist at the National Institutes of Health, he found himself mingling with groups like America’s Health Insurance Plans, backed by taxpayer-funded security.
In his last year of work, Fauci, 84 years old, reportedly made $480,654, the highest compensation ever paid to a government administrator.
