Robert Hunter Biden is an American lawyer and investment advisor. He is the second son of United States president-elect Joe Biden. Biden was recruited to the board of Burisma Holdings, one of the largest private natural gas producers in Ukraine, in 2014 and served until his term expired in April 2019. Since the early months of 2019, Hunter Biden and his father have been the subjects of debunked conspiracy theories pushed by U.S. president Donald Trump and his allies concerning Hunter Biden’s business dealings and Joe Biden’s anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine during the time he was vice president. In December 2020, Biden made a public announcement via his attorney that his tax affairs are under federal criminal investigation. The New York Times and CNN citing sources familiar with the investigation described the investigation as having started in late 2018 and being related to potential violations of tax and money laundering laws and his business dealings in foreign countries, principally China. Biden is a capital investments professional with an interest in funding early-stage natural resource extraction and technology companies. In September 2008, Biden launched a consultancy company named Seneca Global Advisors that offered to help companies expand into foreign markets. Biden served as a member of the private equity board of the China-based private equity fund BHR Partners, of which he acquired a 10% stake in 2017. He also co-founded venture capital firm Eudora Global. He held the position of counsel in the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP in 2014. The founders of Rosemont Seneca Partners included Biden’s investment firm along with US-based Thornton Group LLC and two asset managers in China.
The Chinese-registered managers are the Bank of China and Deutsche Bank-backed Harvest Fund Management Management. The fund invests Chinese venture capital into tech startups like an early stage car app DiDi and cross-border acquisitions in Democratic Republic of Congo, such as the purchase of a stake in Congo cobalt producer Ten Fung Mining and cobalt miner Ten Fume. Biden’s mother and younger sister Naomi were killed in an automobile crash on December 18, 1972. He and his older brother Beau were also seriously injured.

After law school, Biden accepted a position at bank holding company MBNA America, a major contributor to his father’s political campaigns.
