Hunter Biden’s finances have collapsed now that his father is out of the White House. The president’s son admitted in court filings this week that his art sales have plummeted, his book deals dried up, and his debts ballooned into the millions. Once able to sell paintings for over $50,000 each, he managed only one sale this year for a measly $36,000.
For years, Hunter cashed in on the Biden name, selling amateur artwork at sky-high prices to anonymous buyers. Critics called it a sham, with pieces priced like masterpieces despite his lack of training. Buyers weren’t paying for art—they were buying access to power. Now that Joe Biden’s political influence is gone, so is Hunter’s paycheck.
Book sales for Hunter’s memoir, Beautiful Things, crashed too. Sales dropped from over 3,000 copies to just 1,100. Even paid speaking gigs vanished. The lavish lifestyle funded by political connections is over. Hunter’s sudden money troubles show how the Biden family business relied entirely on Joe’s position.
Hunter begged a judge to drop his lawsuit against Trump aide Garrett Ziegler, who exposed the infamous laptop scandal. He claims wildfires destroyed his California rental home, leaving him homeless and broke. But conservatives see this as karma. The laptop revealed Hunter’s shady dealings and addiction struggles, embarrassing the Biden brand.
Joe Biden’s last act as president was pardoning Hunter for federal gun charges. Critics called it a slap in the face to justice. The pardon backfired, drawing more attention to Hunter’s legal mess. Without his father’s protection, Hunter faces the consequences of his actions.
The wildfires that wrecked Hunter’s rental home added insult to injury. He’s scrambling to find housing and pay bills. But many Americans struggling in Biden’s economy have little sympathy. They see a spoiled insider finally learning what real life costs.
For decades, the Bidens traded on political power for profit. Hunter’s art scheme was just the latest grift. With Joe out of office, the money train has stopped. No one’s buying Hunter’s paintings—or his family’s influence.
This downfall exposes the rot of political privilege. Hunter’s story is a warning: when power fades, so do the perks. The Biden legacy isn’t policy or principle—it’s cashing in while you can. Now Hunter’s left with empty canvases and emptier pockets.
