HERO Chat - Honest Everyday Real Opinions

Leaving you with this data on a Thursday night... Fauci's final federal salary was $480,654, making him one of the highest-paid federal civilian employees at the time. He made WAY more than POTUS. There's a lot of confusion over NIH employees being named as inventors on patents developed during their government work. Royalty income can be shared between NIH and the inventor, according to federal law. We know Fauci received 23 royalty payments between 2010 and 2021, according to OpenTheBooks, but we don't know the actual dollar amount. Fauci also gets a pension, and several watchdog organizations have estimated it based on federal retirement formulas. Estimates range from $350,000 per year (OpenTheBooks) to over $400,000 annually. Pensions usually begin shortly after retirement, so he is basically still raking in the dough.
