Answer: C - Anthony Fauci
Dr. Anthony Fauci made $417,608 in 2019, the latest year for which federal salaries are available. That made him not only the highest paid doctor in the federal government, but the highest paid person out of all four million federal employees. Dr. Fauci even made more than the $400,000 salary of the President of the United States. In comparison to Dr. Fauci, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will earn $223,500 this year. The 80-year-old Dr. Fauci began his 53-year career at NIH in 1968, and has been an advisor to every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan
