Report: Hunter Sells About a Dozen Paintings for Under $500,000 Each
Breitbart ^ | 02/06/2023 | Wendell Husebo

Hunter Biden, who is under investigation for tax fraud, has reportedly sold a total of about 12 paintings to anonymous buyers during his father’s term as president of the United States.

While the average yearly wage of an American artist is $73,013, Hunter has reportedly raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars as a novice painter. Previous reports indicated Hunter sold five paintings for $375,000 each in 2021. But according to a new estimate by a gallerist, Hunter’s has now sold about 12 paintings for less than his asking price of $500,000, Washington Post reported.

In a humorous essay by Steve Martin he said ex-Piston Dennis Rodman was smart to have a co-author for his autobiography Bad As I Wanna Be.

I liked Steve's "The Apple Pie Hubbub", because that's when he started using verbs.

It would have been a lot cleaner and faster to just sell his autographs for $475,000 each. And he wouldn’t get paint on his hands.

Hunter sold enough paintings to allow China to complete it's balloon reconnaissance mission over ALL (or at least MOST) of our sensitive nuke ICBM sites.

WHERE THE EFF IS CONGRESS ON THIS? Cross-dresser General Mark Milley BELONGS IN GITMO, OR WORSE.

Benghazi, Afghanistan, China balloon.. HUMILIATED ENOUGH YET AMERICA?

anonymous buyers

I'll bet The Big Guy knows the names of the Washington lobbyists who bought his son's paintings.

And the Democrats want every $600 you make to be reported and investigated.

Hunter is being rehabilitated as we speak.

I know this because Hunter and I just received certification in the NNBWP (National Neighborhood Balloon Watch Program). We are keeping our eyes peeled for Red Chinese spies in the skies.

Heroic!

I found this to be very interesting… Having said that, when I leave very narrow FR and go out into the larger world, I found about 80% of Americans I encounter don’t give much of a crap at all about this HBL stuff… And in a growing sense, neither do I.

“Art” as a vehicle for money laundering? Wow! Almost better than the historically used ‘book deal’ used to line the pockets of retiring politicians... Almost...

That’s because the media choses not report on it. They media determines what people care about.

If Watergate was committed by a Democrat, do you think the media would have reported it? I think not.

My BS meter pegged when I read that.

Don’t forget speeches. All of these money laundering methods are almost impossible to legally prove but look as dirty as crap.

It’s in the discard bin for those works under $500,000.
