Anthony Fauci tops annual list of highest-paid scientists

In 2022 it looked like the scientist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (December 24) that Fauci is the highest-paid scientist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $20 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The American scientist has an estimated net worth of $145 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Fauci Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “ Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfauci - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Anthony) and a fashion line called “Anthony Fauci Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Anthony fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
