President Joe Biden’s son Hunter has stirred questions about his gun ownership, his shady business dealings, and his “art” sales.
One of Hunter’s associates — art gallery owner Georges Berges — just spilled the beans on how much the first son’s art sales has collected.
Berges recently gave a closed-door interview with the House committee that subpoenaed Hunter, and released the transcript earlier this month. The gallery owner has been credited with providing “the most complete picture to date of Hunter Biden’s artwork, including when his paintings have been sold and for how much.”
According to the interview, Hunter has seen his paintings gross $1.5 million, and he’s taken a 60% cut, with the remaining money going to Berges.
Hunter Biden makes his works by, among other things, blowing the paint through a straw… and according to the gallery owner, Hunter would have cashed in at least $900,000 before tax.
Berges said that three of Hunter’s 10 buyers remain anonymous, but he confirmed that an entertainment lawyer named Kevin Morris remains the largest buyer.
Morris reportedly bought 11 paintings and spent $875,000, more than half of the $1.5 million figure.
“I really like Hunter’s art,” Morris claimed in a transcript released Tuesday. “The art is, in my view as an art collector, very good.”
Despite the $1.5 million gross, Berges has allowed his contract with Hunter to expire.
“From a business perspective, it hasn’t been the best decision for me,” Berges told the committee.
Berges, a former Trump donor, took issue with the poor publicity from his contract with Hunter.
“I never expected the whole security issue or the death threats and people assuming political affiliation, which was completely wrong. It’s just shocked some people,” Berges told the committee. “It was a little bit more than I could chew, that obviously I kind of wanted my life back. So I haven’t agreed to renew that contract now.”
Berges denied any knowledge of the sales made after the contract’s expiration date.
Hunter may have made even more money following his split with Berges — or simply cashed out while the getting was good.
