Hunter Biden is currently making headlines by collaborating with far-right influencers who boast millions of social media followers to promote his brand and his latest art collection, which comes with a hefty price tag, according to sources.
The operations manager of Hunter Biden Studio mentioned that Biden’s canvases, sized 36 by 36 inches, are priced at $54,000 each. What’s intriguing is that every purchase includes a private video call with Hunter himself, where he shares insights about the artwork.
Recently, he has been a guest on certain controversial podcasts, such as those hosted by Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens, not exactly promoting liberal ideals but rather seeking to invigorate his art career that seems to have stalled.
“Hunter’s foray into podcasting is really about gaining attention and pushing his art, as part of what looks like a well thought-out media strategy,” a source close to the Biden family noted. “He’s choosing to engage with controversial platforms, knowing that left-leaning outlets wouldn’t garner much interest in what he has to say. He’s frustrated with the left.”
Since he kicked off this media initiative in May, the former first son, whose history is shadowed by scandals, has acquired 335,000 followers on Instagram, where he labels himself an artist, author, and “recovery advocate.”
He also occasionally shares his thoughts on various topics through social media. For instance, he mentioned on Substack that he had to go into hiding due to issues with a laptop he left behind before the 2020 election.
In his words, “What began as a tabloid story has evolved into a political narrative,” adding that he felt the need to go underground after his father, Joe Biden, won the election. “This change transformed my day-to-day life in subtler ways. For example, I stopped going grocery shopping. My wife, Melissa, would go instead, while I’d wait in the car with our son, Beau.”
Biden is not holding back on social media; he’s targeting prominent figures like President Trump. He reportedly had a recent encounter with Fuentes in a Philadelphia hotel that nearly escalated into a confrontation. This meeting, mediated by Andrew Callahan of YouTube fame, is set to be aired later this month.
A friend of Biden speculated that he might be leveraging his growing influence for political engagement. “I think he always had that intention beneath the surface,” the friend remarked.
At present, however, promoting his art is a priority. He claims that creating art has been therapeutic and has played a role in his journey of recovery from addiction. He no longer works with a gallery and sells his creations directly through his website.
“Everyone who contacts me tends to be interested in buying a piece tied to his father’s presidency since they view it not only as artistic but as historic,” commented Georges Bergès, a gallerist from Soho who previously represented Biden.
Biden, who directs the Peak Pass Health Foundation—a nonprofit running a high-end rehab center in Los Angeles—is believed to be working from a studio in California. Despite last year’s wildfires, his Malibu rental remains untouched. He splits his time between South Africa and San Ynez, California, where one of his father’s significant donors owns a sprawling ranch. Social media accounts indicate the Biden family celebrated Thanksgiving there.
Meanwhile, “they’re welcoming the Kianis over anytime they feel like hosting,” mentioned a source.
Biden did not respond to inquiries for comment.
In recent news, a federal judge in California awarded Biden $1.7 million in punitive damages in a defamation case against Patrick Byrne, a Trump donor and former Overstock.com CEO, who made allegations regarding Biden’s interactions with the Iranian government back in 2021.
Biden received a pardon from his father shortly before facing federal charges related to firearms and tax evasion, a surprising shift from the former president’s earlier stance of holding his son accountable.
