His fee range for speaking engagements ranges from $50,000 to $100,000. Fauci is scheduled to give the commencement address to the Yale School of Medicine on May 22.
The director of Rapid Response for Gov. Ron DeSantis’s reelection campaign, Christina Pushaw, criticized the former chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden online for his high speaking fee, tweeting a picture of the listing with the caption “SERIOUSLY???”
Substack writer Jordan Schachtel responded to the tweet, saying, “Follow The Science Starting at 50k an hour.”
The NIAID director’s net worth was estimated to be more than $10 million as recently as January 2022, with his salary being the highest in the federal government at roughly $480,000 in 2022, according to a watchdog.
