WASHINGTON — 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.


Hunter Biden’s Democratic donor “friend” Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali reportedly purchased one of his pieces of art.

I would bet his largest buyer is from China, and a great connoiseur of fine art.

Report: Buyer of Hunter’s Art Visited Joe Biden’s White House 13 Times After First Art Exhibition

Wendell Husebø 25 Jul 2023

The purchaser of Hunter Biden’s art reportedly visited President Joe Biden’s White House 13 times after the president’s son first showcased his paintings at his art dealer’s gallery in New York City. 

Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a large Biden donor and Biden appointee to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, visited the White House for large events, along with several intimate meetings, including with White House senior adviser Neera Tanden on March 21, according to White House visitor logs reviewed by the Free Beacon.

Naftali is a Los Angeles real estate investor and is influential in California Democrat circles. In 2023, she donated $13,414 to the Biden campaign, along with $29,700 to the Democrat National Campaign Committee this year, according to Business Insider. She also served on Hillary for America’s National Finance Committee, Biden for President’s National Finance Committee, and as deputy finance chair for the Democrat National Committee.

The White House visitor logs show all of Naftali’s visits to the White House occurred in December 2021, after Hunter Biden first exhibited his paintings in November 2021 at his art dealer’s gallery in New York City.

Business Insider reported Monday that Hunter Biden’s gallery has $1,379,000 in receipts for his work.
