Between 2019 and the end of 2023, Fauci’s personal wealth nearly doubled — jumping from $7.6 million to a staggering $15 million. How? Well, it turns out “retirement” is a lucrative gig… when you’re Anthony Fauci.

In 2023 alone, his first post-government year, Fauci collected over $3.5 million. He still had speaking engagements around the world. Six-figure fee after six-figure fee from corporate-friendly audiences like the National Association of Chain Drug Stores and America’s Health Insurance Plans. Then came the crown jewel — a $5 million book deal with Penguin Random House for his memoir, On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.

Meanwhile, small businesses shuttered. Savings dried up. And schoolchildren fell behind. But for Fauci, life after the camera lights got even sweeter.

Let’s not forget: even in his final year of government service, Fauci earned $480,654 — more than the President of the United States. And his wife, Christine Grady, still working inside the National Institutes of Health, earned a cool $243,749 in taxpayer-funded income in 2023.
