There are 4 million employees in the federal government, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the Nation Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, tops them out at $419,608 a year as of 2019. Fauci even makes more than the president.
That means that, within the next three years he will have raked in $2.5 million since 2019 — and more if he gets a raise. Fauci has been at the NIH since 1968, and presiding as director since 1984. While most federal salaries have a cap on them, Fauci’s is an exception.
