Hunter Biden’s ‘wild’ spending has been revealed after a fresh indictment of nine criminal charges was filed against the president’s son on Thursday.
The Justice Department has alleged that despite receiving millions in personal income and financial support from a friend, Hunter Biden ‘spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes.’
Prosecutors argue that between 2016 and 2019 the first son spent almost $5 million.
That breakdown includes $683,000 on ‘various women’ as well as almost $400,000 on ‘clothing and accessories’.
It also alleges that he spent $188,000 on ‘adult entertainment’ throughout that period.

In 2018 alone Hunter is alleged to have spent $100,000 on ‘adult entertainment’ but only $500 on mortgage payments.
Some payments are laid out in excruciating detail including $11,500 for an escort to spend just two nights with him in 2018.
Hunter made $3,947 in payments to M Street Management, a strip club in Washington, D.C., in January 2018.
He is also alleged to have used the business line of credit to make $27,316 in payments to an online pornography website, ‘which in total accounted for one fifth of all of the business line of credit expenditures.’
The president’s son also made one off payments, such as a $1,500 Venmo payment on August 14, 2018 to an exotic dancer at a strip club that he attempted to pass off as the purchase of ‘artwork’ in his accounts.
Over four years he spent $237,000 on ‘health, beauty and pharmacy’ services, more than $110,000 of which was splashed in a single year.
The indictment also revealed how Hunter spent thousands of dollars on luxury hotels, flights and car rentals.
In April 2018 $2,996 was spent on Virgin America flights to Los Angeles, and upon arrival in California he spent $1,727 on renting a Lamborghini.

In the following two months Hunter spent a staggering $43,693 on stays at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in LA.
He also paid $7,215 for LA Airbnb rentals for his then-girlfriend in May and June 2018.
All nine charges, filed in California on Thursday, relate to tax.
They include two felony charges for filing a false return, a felony charge for tax evasion, four failure to pay charges, and a further two charges for failure to file.
‘The Defendant engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019,’ it reads.
These latest allegations come as Biden’s son already faces three felony charges that carry a maximum combined 25 years incarceration and $250,000 fine.
The first count is for lying on a 2018 gun purchase form that he was not an illicit drug user, and has a top sentence of 10 years. The second count is for lying to the gun store about it, which could net him up to five years. The third is for possessing the firearm while being an addict, which could land him another 10 years.
The latest indictment alleges Hunter attempted ‘to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020.’
