Early life
Robert Hunter Biden was born in Wilmington, Delaware, on February 4, 1970. He is Neilia Biden (née Hunter) and Joe Biden's second son. Hunter Biden's mother and younger sister Naomi were killed in a car accident on December 18, 1972. Biden and his older brother Beau were also seriously wounded, but they recovered. Beau suffered multiple fractured bones, while Hunter sustained a fractured skull and serious traumatic brain injury. Both men spent several months in the hospital, where their father was sworn into the Senate in January 1973. Hunter and Beau eventually encouraged their father to marry again, and Jill Jacobs became their stepmother in 1977. Ashley McSister of Biden was born in 1981.
Biden attended Catholic high school Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware, like his father and brother. In 1992, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Georgetown University. During the year after he graduated from college, he served as a Jesuit volunteer at a church in Portland, Oregon, and met Kathleen Buhle, whom he married in 1993. After attending Georgetown University Law Center for one year, he moved to Yale Law School and graduated in 1996.
Personal life
In 1993, Biden married Kathleen Buhle. They have three children: Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy. In 2017, the couple split. In 2016, Biden began a friendship with Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Beau Beau's, and by 2019, the relationship had ended.
Biden is also the father of a daughter born in Arkansas to Lunden Alexis Roberts in August 2018. In May 2019, Roberts filed a paternity lawsuit, but it was settled in March 2020 for an undisclosed sum.
Melissa Cohen, a South African filmmaker, married Biden in May 2019. Beau Beau, their son, was born in Los Angeles in March 2020.
Biden's lifelong battle with heroin and alcoholism, as well as detailed his struggles in his book Beautiful Things. He believes his addiction can be traced back to the 1972 motor vehicle crash that killed his mother and sister. Biden has been in and out of recovery over the past two decades, with long stretches of sobriety followed by relapses. Following Beau Beau's death, his heroin use has increased, and he says he now has a "smoking crack every 15 minutes." According to NBC News, Biden and his company received $11 million from 2013 to 2018, which fuelled his heroin use. Burisma's money "turned into a big enabler during my steepest skid into heroin" and "bounded me to invest recklessly, dangerously, destructively." Humiliously. Well, I did." He had an intervention in early 2019.
On April 6, 2021, Biden published a book titled Beautiful Things that chronicled the tragedy of the accident that claimed the lives of his mother and sister, as well as his later addiction struggles. Reviewer Elisabeth Egan said in The New York Times that the book was "equal parts family saga, grief tale, and addict's howl."
Early career
Biden earned a degree in law school in 1996, then accepted a consulting position at the bank holding company MBNA, whose employees contributed more than $100,000 to Joe Biden's senate campaigns. Biden's appointment was controversial because his father pushed for credit card reform that was favorable to the credit card industry and was backed by MBNA during Biden's tenure at the bank. The legislation made it more difficult to obtain bankruptcy insurance. Years later, Byron York of National Review referred to Joe Biden as "the senator from MBNA" referring to the close friendship between the two countries. Hunter Biden had risen to the rank of executive vice president at MBNA by 1998. In 2001, Biden first graduated from MBNA. He went on to work at the United States Department of Commerce, focusing on President Bill Clinton's ecommerce policy. Biden joined Oldaker, Biden & Belair as a lobbyist, co-founding the firm. According to Adam Entous of The New Yorker, Biden and his father developed a friendship in which "Biden would not inform Hunter about his lobbying companies, and Hunter would not notify his father about them."
President George W. Bush nominated Hunter Biden to a five-year term on Amtrak's board of directors in 2006. Biden served as Vice Chairman from July 2006 to 2009, but he was promoted to Vice Chairman in January and resigned from the board in February, shortly after his father became Vice President. During his father's vice presidentship, Biden said that lobbying efforts should come to an end.
Naval career
In May 2013, Biden's bid for a post in the United States Navy Reserve was accepted. Biden was accepted into a program that allows a select number of applicants with desirable skills to be granted commissions and serve in staff positions at age 43. Due to a recent drug-related occurrence, Biden was granted an age-related waiver and a waiver; he was sworn in as a direct commission officer. In a White House ceremony, Joe Biden administered his commissioning oath.
Biden tested positive for cocaine during a urinalysis test and was then released administratively. Biden attributed the result to smoking cigarettes he had accepted from other smokers, claiming that the cigarettes were laced with cocaine. He did not appeal the lawsuit because it was unlikely that the panel would accept his explanation given his drug use in the past and also due to the possibility of news leaked to the media; it was then revealed to the Wall Street Journal by a Navy official who provided the details.
