On Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci received criticism online after it was revealed that the former head of the NIAID, who was previously the highest-paid federal employee in the United States, charges up to $100,000 for speaking engagements.
On Sunday, Christina Pushaw, the director of fast response for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, tweeted a screenshot from the website of the Leading Motivational Speaker’s Agency, which shows Fauci as a keynote speaker whose fees vary from $50,000 to $100,000.
According to the website, Fauci is a doctor “who’s career warrants execution under immense pressure that can alter the course of human existence. His work on domestic as well as global health issues has saved millions of lives. This high level of research, discovery and execution is amazing given the grave challenges he faces on a daily basis.”
On the former member of the White House coronavirus task team, Fauci’s outraged detractors pounced, accusing him of exaggerating his accomplishments and highlighting his status as one of the pandemic’s most divisive players.
In May 2023, Fauci is scheduled to deliver the Yale Medical School graduating address. Fauci allegedly gave commencement addresses at the University of Maryland, Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, and The City College of New York all in one year.
An FOIA request found that the main Biden medical adviser had previously been thought to be the highest-paid official in the United States, even outpacing the president.
Fauci won $417,608.00 in 2019, his largest-ever winnings, and $384,625.00 in the two years prior. The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, made $3.6 million from 2010 to 2019, according to Forbes.
The Faucis’ net worth increased from $7.5 million in 2019 to $12.6 million by the end of 2021, according to information obtained by the monitoring group OpenTheBooks and shared with Fox News Digital. The growth was brought on by things like investment profits, prizes, pay, and royalties.
Many in the media and in Hollywood have supported Fauci because they saw him as a steadying influence during the turbulent Trump presidency.
He does, however, have some critics who accuse him of being inconsistent with his rhetoric at the start of the epidemic and who regard him as a career bureaucrat savoring his newfound fame.
