The pandemic seemed to be very good for the Faucis finances...while many businesses went under.

From the article:

As many Americans and businesses struggled during the pandemic, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci and his wife experienced a $5 million net worth increase.

The Faucis saw their net worth expand from $7.5 million in 2019 to $12.6 million at the end of 2021, watchdog group OpenTheBooks discovered and shared with Fox News Digital. The increase came from the likes of investment gains, awards, compensation and royalties.

"While Dr. Fauci has been a government bureaucrat for more than 55 years, his household net worth skyrocketed during the pandemic," OpenTheBooks CEO Adam Andrzejewski told Fox News Digital. "Fauci's soaring net worth was based on career-end salary spiking, lucrative cash prizes awarded by non-profit organizations around the world and an ever-larger investment portfolio."

"Despite becoming a figure of controversy, the system has rewarded Dr. Fauci handsomely," Andrzejewski said. "For example, he is the top-paid federal employee, his first-year golden parachute retirement pension is the largest in federal history, and he's accepting $1 million prizes from foreign non-profits."
