Hunter Biden is on a media blitz campaign, using far-right influencers with millions of social media followers to promote his brand and hawk his new collection of art work — which is going for eye-popping sums, sources told The Post.
According to the operations manager of the “Hunter Biden Studio,” Biden is selling a 36-by-36-inch canvas, “Watchers,” for $54,000 — “and every sale includes a private video call with Hunter, in which he speaks personally about the painting.”
And sources say he has recently appeared on the podcasts of extremists like Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens not as some great defender of liberal values — but to prop up his stalled art career.
“Hunter doing the podcaster thing is all about getting notoriety and part of that media strategy is promoting his art,” said a source who is close to the Biden family. “He is going where there is controversy. He knows that if he pitches podcasters on the left, no one would care what he has to say. He’s completely pissed off the left.”
Since launching his media campaign in May, the scandal-scarred former first son has already accumulated 335,000 followers on Instagram, where he describes himself as an artist, author and “recovery advocate.”

He also uses the social media platform to tease his near daily musings on Substack, where last week he said he had to go into hiding after The Post’s exclusive reporting on his abandoned laptop, which broke a few weeks before the 2020 presidential election.
“What began as a tabloid exclusive hardened into a political artifact,” Biden writes, adding that he went underground after father Joe Biden won the election. “That transformation is the part that matters most to understand now. It changed daily life in small ways first. I stopped going into the grocery store. Melissa [his second wife] would go in alone while I stayed in the car with [son] Beau.”
Now, Biden claims he’s not holding back, blasting President Trump and others on social media. He recently sat down with Fuentes in a Philadelphia hotel room for an interview that nearly resulted in a physical altercation, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The interview was brokered by YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan, and is reportedly scheduled to air later this month.
One of Biden’s associates speculated that the former first son might be leveraging his newfound celebrity for a political run.
“I think he has always had that at the back of his mind,” the associate told The Post.
But for now he is trying to hawk his art, which he says is therapeutic and has helped him recover from drug addiction. Biden is no longer represented by a gallery, and is selling his own work from an eponymous website.
“Everyone who calls me still wants to buy pieces from his father’s era in government because they see it not just as works of art but as historical documents,” said Georges Berges, the Soho gallerist who represented Biden in the past.
Biden, who is executive director of the Peak Path Health Foundation, a nonprofit that runs a luxury rehab facility in Los Angeles, appears to be working from a studio in California. Although a Malibu rental he was using remained untouched after the California wild fires last year, Biden has been living between South Africa and San Ynez, California, where Joe Kiani, one of his father’s major donors owns a sprawling ranch. The Biden family spent Thanksgiving at the ranch, according to social media posts.
“At this point they invite themselves over to the Kianis whenver they feel like it,” said the source.
Biden did not return The Post’s requests for comment.
Last week, a federal judge in California awarded Biden $1.7 million in punitive damages in a defamation lawsuit against Trump donor and former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne over comments made in 2023. Byrne accused Biden of reaching out to the Iranian government in 2021 with an offer to have his father “unfreeze” $8 billion in funds in exchange for a bribe.
Biden was pardoned by his father in 2024 on the eve of his sentencing on federal gun and tax evasion convictions — a shocking reversal of the former president’s own statements about making sure his son faced the full extent of the law.
