Overview

  • Hunter Biden has requested a federal judge to dismiss his 2023 lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler, citing an inability to afford continued litigation.
  • Biden's income has sharply declined since late 2023, with only one artwork sold for $36,000 compared to 27 pieces sold earlier at an average price of over $54,000 each.
  • His memoir sales have dropped significantly, with only 1,100 copies sold in six months compared to 3,161 copies in the prior period.
  • Biden's financial troubles are compounded by the January 2025 Pacific Palisades wildfire, which he claims rendered his $3 million rental home unlivable.
  • The court filing reveals Biden's debt is in the millions, forcing him to reassess other pending lawsuits on a case-by-case basis due to limited resources.
