Dr. Fauci even made more than the salary of the President of the United States, which is $400,000.
In a ten-year period between 2010 and 2019, Fauci made $3.6 million in salary. Since 2014, Fauci’s pay increased from $335,000 to the current $417,608.
In an Instagram interview in August 2020, actor Matthew McConaughey asked Fauci if he had millions of dollars invested in the vaccines.
Fauci laughed and said, “Matthew, no, I got zero! I am a government worker. I have a government salary,” failing to mention that his “government salary” was the largest in the entire federal government.
