Anthony Fauci left government in December 2022 with an estimated household net worth of around $11.5 million (£8.6M), according to his financial disclosures. He led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for 38 years and became the face of the US COVID-19 response.
He's back in the news this week, not over money but after being subpoenaed by Senator Rand Paul to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment rather than answer questions about the pandemic's origins, which he has denied for years. President Biden pre-emptively pardoned him in January 2025, calling it a move against politically motivated prosecution by the incoming Trump administration.
