Hunter Biden has quietly pulled up stakes and left the country amid claims he is $17 million in debt and living overseas, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The disclosure came in a new legal filing submitted by his attorney Barry Coburn on April 6, in Washington DC, where the first son is being sued by his former attorneys at Winston & Strawn.
The court filing bluntly states 'Mr Biden lives abroad', and argues that the former First Son 'cannot afford' to pay off his outstanding legal fees.
The law firm defended Hunter, 56, in his tax and gun crimes cases, as well as other legal battles, but claims he failed to pay bills 'substantially in excess of $50,000'.
On a podcast appearance last year Hunter himself claimed he was in '$17 million of debt.'
Coburn declined to comment to the Daily Mail, and did not specify where in the world Hunter, 56, now lives – but it's not America.
However, last year Hunter was spotted spending time in South Africa, the birthplace of his wife Melissa, 39, the mother of his youngest child.
The couple were seen on a trip to Cape Town in May 2025, prompting President Donald Trump to revoke his Secret Service detail over the cost of foreign travel.
