Dr. Anthony Fauci practically single-handedly destroyed the American economy. His pandemic plans stopped colleges and services throughout America.
Yet, the doctor of death saw his total assets double over the lockdown time period.
This is according to financial disclosures reviewed by the watchdog group OpenTheBooks.
The White House chief medical adviser’s net worth rose by the millions during the pandemic.
According to his financial statements, the good Doctor’s wealth went from $7.6 million in 2019 to over $12.6 million by December 2021. Fauci was the highest-paid government official in 2021 and 2022. He out-earned the president, four-star generals, and about 4.3 million other bureaucrats.
After serving 55 years in the medical bureaucracy, the 81-year-old Fauci plans to retire in December. But he will still pocket his $480,000 compensation for the year.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R., Kan.) fought to obtain Fauci’s previously unpublished financial disclosure statements in January from the National Institutes of Health. Marshall’s request came after a heated Senate hearing in which Fauci acted a pompous jerk and claimed the records were already public and called Marshall “a moron.”
“Fauci’s soaring net worth was based on career-end income spiking, highly profitable cash prizes granted through non-profit organizations around the world, and an ever-growing investment collection,” OpenTheBooks Chief Executive Officer Adam Andrzejewski said in an interview with Fox News.
“Public health guidance during the pandemic has drastically impacted the lives of every citizen,” Andrzejewski continued, “and Dr. Fauci has been its most visible face. It’s critical to know whether any decision-making is tied up in the financial interests of public leaders, whether they’ve made any ethics disclosures to the government, and how they invested.”
