Here's How Much Hunter Biden Is Really Worth

Hunter Biden might not have any experience in the oil industry beyond occasionally pumping his own gas, but that didn't stop the first son from cashing in as an advisor to a Ukrainian petrol company — all while dad Joe Biden, then-Veep, was running foreign policy in the region under Barack Obama.

Hunter nabbed a board position with Ukraine's Burisma holdings in April 2014, in the direct aftermath of a Russian invasion. According to Burisma, Biden's role was giving advice on issues of "transparency, corporate governance and responsibility, international expansion, and other priorities," via Bloomberg News. They paid him upwards of $50,000 a month for these somewhat vague duties, according to The New York Times. Almost as nice as making more a month than most Americans make a year, Biden also had a pretty sweet work-from-home situation: not once did he visit the war-torn country, according to Reuters.

Many experts dubbed Biden's role suspect: "It's a big deal. It's the vice president, who is the point person of the Obama administration's policy on Ukraine, and his son is suddenly hired to be a director on the board of Ukraine's largest private gas producer," Yoshiko M. Herrera, professor and Russia expert at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, told The Washington Post. When Hunter's suspect role began affecting Joe Biden's 2020 presidential aspirations, Hunter admitted to ABC News that taking on such a conflict of interest was "poor judgment."
