WASHINGTON — First son Hunter Biden’s novice artwork has raked in at least $1.3 million — with buyers including a Democratic donor “friend’’ who his dad named to a prestigious commission, a report said Monday.
Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real-estate investor and philanthropist, bought one of Hunter’s works, according to Business Insider, which cited sales records kept by his art dealer, the Georges Bergès Gallery of Manhattan.
Naftali was appointed by President Biden to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in July 2022 — about eight months after Hunter’s first art show, which took place in Hollywood. It is unclear when Naftali bought her Hunter artwork or how much she paid for it.
A Biden administration official told the publication that Naftali was recommended for her preservation-board post by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and that she didn’t buy the position through the art deal.
Meanwhile, Business Insider said the largest chunk of Hunter’s art sales so far have gone to a deep-pocketed single mystery buyer — who scooped up 11 artworks for a total of $875,000.
The outlet reported that one of Hunter’s art buyers is his “sugar brother” Kevin Morris, a wealth lawyer who reportedly lent him about $2 million to pay off back taxes. It wasn’t known whether Morris was the top buyer.Insider’s report was the most detailed to date on the first son’s art sales.
Bergès has refused to cooperate with House Oversight Committee requests for the names of art buyers.

I hear the Bidens took more than 17 million

When the ex girlfriend sell the painting she got in the settlement and only gets a fraction of the price the scam will be exposed. The media will jump right on not report on it.
In Mexico they just hand over some cash.

That this overt graft is not covered by the media speaks volumes.
It’s atrocious.

Is that Hunter a dreamboat or what?
Women want him and men wish they were him——
“The phrase is often attributed to Raymond Chandler (’Every man wants to be James Bond and every woman wants to be with him’), which potentially dates it to 1959 or earlier, but it certainly appeared in print in 1963. In a review of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service published in the Sunday Times in 1963, Raymond Mortimer wrote, ‘James Bond is what every man would like to be, and what every woman would like between her sheets.’ In James Bond Memes, April 29, 2012.
Looks much better without the scruffy beard.
Sen. Ted Cruz should shave his off, too.
Informative.
