A recent court filing inĀ Washington, D.C.Ā reveals thatĀ Hunter BidenĀ is currently living outside theĀ United StatesĀ as he navigates a series of ongoing legal and financial challenges. The disclosure was made by his attorney,Ā Barry Coburn, in response to a lawsuit filed by the law firmĀ Winston & Strawn. The firm is seeking more than $50,000 in unpaid fees for legal services provided over several years, during whichĀ BidenĀ was represented by partnerĀ Abbe LowellĀ in high-profileĀ federal taxĀ andĀ firearmsĀ cases.
In the filing,Ā CoburnĀ describedĀ BidenĀ as “impecunious,” asserting that he lacks the necessary funds to cover the outstanding debt or to hire additional experts, such asĀ forensic accountantsĀ or billing consultants. This financial assessment aligns withĀ Bidenās own previous admissions; last year, he revealed he was approximately $17 million in debt, a figure largely attributed to the compounding costs of his extensive legal battles and civil disputes. While the court documents do not provide a specific current address,Ā BidenĀ has strong ties toĀ South Africa. His wife,Ā Melissa Cohen Biden, is originally fromĀ Cape Town, andĀ BidenĀ has previously described the city as “the most beautiful city in the world.” In 2025, he indicated he was splitting his time between theĀ United StatesĀ andĀ South Africa. Despite the claim that he lives abroad,Ā BidenĀ continues to make appearances in theĀ United States, recently attending a family Easter event inĀ CaliforniaĀ with his father, former PresidentĀ Joe Biden. To manage his mounting expenses,Ā BidenĀ has historically relied on significant financial support from private sources, including over $6 million in loans from attorneyĀ Kevin Morris. He also attempted to generate income through a career in theĀ fine arts, with his paintings totaling more than $1 million in sales between 2021 and 2024. However, interest in his work has reportedly waned; aĀ March 2025Ā filing noted that he had sold only one piece for $36,000 since late 2023. As the litigation inĀ D.C. Superior CourtĀ moves forward,Ā Bidenās financial instability remains a central focus of the proceedings.
