Hunter Biden’s financial situation has deteriorated significantly following the end of his father’s presidency, according to recent court filings. This financial downward spiral has left him struggling to secure new housing while simultaneously facing gun conviction fallout. What role did Hunter’s art sales play in his income stream while his father was president?
Financial Collapse After White House Connections Fade
Hunter Biden’s legal team has filed motions to dismiss a lawsuit against former White House aide Garrett Ziegler, citing the president’s son’s inability to continue funding the litigation. The court documents explicitly state that Hunter “does not have the resources to continue to litigate this matter” and is shouldering “significant debt in the millions of dollars range.”
This financial crisis comes despite Hunter receiving approximately $5 million in loans from his friend Kevin Morris, who allegedly gained White House access through this arrangement. Morris reportedly can no longer sustain funding Hunter’s mounting legal expenses, leaving the president’s son without his primary financial safety net.

Art and Book Sales Plummet Post-Presidency
Hunter Biden’s once-promising career as an artist has suffered a precipitous decline, with art sales dropping dramatically over the past 18 months. Court filings reveal he sold 27 pieces at an average price exceeding $54,000 before December 2023 but has managed to sell only one piece for $36,000 since then.
His literary endeavors have experienced a similar downturn, with book sales plummeting from over 3,000 copies in six months to roughly 1,100 in the subsequent half-year. The memoir’s contents ultimately contributed to Hunter’s legal troubles, as prosecutors used his own words against him in federal gun charge convictions secured in June 2024.

Personal Setbacks Compound Financial Woes
Hunter’s financial challenges have been exacerbated by personal misfortunes, including the Pacific Palisades fires in January that rendered his rental home “unlivable.” The filing notes this disaster has forced him to search for new housing while simultaneously attempting to stabilize his finances.
Legal analyst Jonathan Turley observed the irony in Hunter’s situation, noting that Biden’s initial legal strategy appeared designed to drain his critics’ resources through litigation. Now facing his resource limitations, Hunter is reassessing other civil lawsuits he initiated, potentially abandoning legal pursuits against those who publicized contents from his infamous laptop.
