Creative agency CAA has signed Hunter Biden as a client, bringing the son of former President Joe Biden into its roster of talent. The agreement opens the door for the agency to explore new opportunities for Biden, including promoting his work as a painter and pursuing storytelling ventures across various platforms.
A Long-Standing Relationship with the Biden Family
CAA has maintained a close relationship with the Biden family for years. The agency announced a representation deal with former President Joseph Biden in 2025. Before that, CAA had also represented him between 2017 and 2020.

Hunter Biden’s signing extends that family connection further. He is known today primarily as a visual artist, working mainly in abstract, mixed-media pieces. His work explores themes of memory, transformation, and the natural world.
Biden works mostly from his studio in Los Angeles. According to a biographical sketch provided by CAA, his artistic approach relies on bold chromatic choices, layered textures, and an intuitive approach to composition.
A Career Marked by Controversy and Personal Struggle
Hunter Biden’s life has drawn significant public attention over the years. He pursued careers in investing and lobbying and also served as an advisor to his father during his presidency. However, federal authorities investigated his tax affairs and allegations that he possessed a firearm while using drugs.
President Biden pardoned his son in early 2024, shortly before leaving office. The pardon drew considerable attention and criticism from Republican lawmakers.
Beyond legal troubles, Hunter Biden has spoken openly about his long struggle with alcohol and drug addiction. In 2021, he published a memoir titled Beautiful Things, detailing his path to sobriety. He has since used his personal experience to advocate for greater awareness and support around addiction treatment.
Writing, Crypto and New Creative Ventures
In 2026, Hunter Biden expanded his public presence in two notable directions. First, he entered the cryptocurrency space by launching a meme coin called $LAPTOP. Later that same year, he launched a Substack column titled Where’s Hunter.
The column focuses on art commentary, memoir-style essays, and ongoing reflection on his recovery journey. Together with his painting career and his new representation by CAA, the Substack project signals a broader effort by Biden to build a distinct public identity on his own terms.
CAA’s signing of Hunter Biden suggests the agency sees meaningful commercial and creative potential in his story. As his profile continues to grow across art, writing, and digital media, the partnership may open further opportunities in entertainment and beyond.
