According to a Freedom of Information Act request by OpenTheBooks.com, Dr. Fauci, the nation’s top disease expert, is the highest-paid federal government employee in the US. Fauci drew in $417,608.00 in 2019. Between 2010 to 2019, Fauci, earned $3.6M. While federal employees are usually subject to a pay cap ($172,500), doctors and scientists employed by the government are exempted from the cap.
The $172,500 cap is true but misleading as when an employee makes more than that the money is credited to the next year and it continues like that until full reimbursement.
Jebus... I like the guy but thats just nuts.
Honestly there should be a limit to how much government officials can make yearly based on salary and earnings. If you work in government you work for the people who voted for you
