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.
