Embattled lawyer-lobbyist Hunter Biden is renting a stylish, multimillion-dollar residential hideaway in L.A.’s storied Hollywood Hills. Listing information shows the lease deal was inked over the summer of 2019, and Biden is forking out a not-inconsequential $12,000 per month for his stay. Court documents reveal that a notice of deposition was recently delivered via first-class mail to Biden at the address in question.
A quick check of records reveals the home is actually owned by a China-born, non-famous L.A. businessman who acquired the property in 2013 for $2.2 million and attempted to sell it last year with a $3.8 million pricetag. Set just off world-famous Mulholland Drive, the house is sequestered behind a long, gated driveway and invisible from the street — perfect for a high-profile celebrity, or a political scion looking to weather stormy scandals involving everything from controversial Ukranian business dealings to paternity lawsuits to graphic strip club romps.
