And let's not forget the larger-than-life-sized statue of Harold Schwartz standing in the fountain-pool at Spanish Springs Town Square.
Point being, it's not any more or less narcissistic to have a big honkin portrait of yourself somewhere in your house, than it is to have a statue made in your honor or a building named after you. For all anyone knows, Fauci was given this portrait as a gift from some well-known artist, and it's valuable, and thematic (since it's a portrait of him), so he has it displayed prominently in the room.
My grandparents had busts made of themselves by a local artist and they were displayed in the foyer of their home, across from the front doors. They weren't narcissistic either - to them it was them, supporting the arts. They were also donors at the local performance theatre, and had little plaques with their names on a pair of box seats. My parents did the same.

Stop, you are making me dizzy.
PS A statue in a square or a a building named after you are not the same as a big honkin portrait of yourself in your home office.
Supporting the arts?
That's world class spin.
