Hunter Biden’s Venice Rental Scandal: Landlord Offered Poop Painting in Lieu of Rent

Hunter Biden’s Rent Drama in Venice

It’s the kind of story that might leave Venice, California, landlords shaking their heads—or laughing all the way to an art auction. Shaun Maguire, a prominent venture capitalist, took to X (formerly Twitter) to recount his surreal experiences renting to none other than Hunter Biden, the embattled son of President Joe Biden and poop painting artist.

“Yup, true story,” Maguire wrote in a post that quickly went viral. “Hunter was our tenant in Venice, CA. Didn’t pay rent for over a year. Tried to pay rent w/ art made from his own feces. Absolute shitbag.”

The $300,000 Question: Who Makes Poop Paintings?

According to Maguire, Hunter Biden left his Venice rental property with over $300,000 in unpaid rent between 2019 and 2020. Adding insult to fiscal injury, Hunter reportedly offered the landlord a collection of artwork made with his own feces as payment. While unconventional art forms have a place in the creative world, one must wonder: what prompts a person to think such “mediums” are suitable for both artistic expression and financial obligations?

For Maguire, the ordeal was no laughing matter at the time. “It was a big mistake,” he admitted in a follow-up post, lamenting the inability to evict Hunter. Why? Because Secret Service agents reportedly prevented any action against the President’s son.

Secret Service: Protector or Problem?

Hunter’s use of the Secret Service as a figurative (and literal) gatekeeper left Maguire in a legally and physically locked position. The Secret Service’s role is to protect its charges, but in this instance, their intervention allegedly left a landlord unable to collect rent, access the property, or enforce basic tenancy laws.

Critics argue that this showcases Hunter Biden being “above the law,” a recurring theme in political debates surrounding the First Family.

From Landlord Nightmares to Artistic Dreams

While the poop paintings failed to settle Hunter’s rent tab, they might now become cultural (if not financial) treasures. Scandal often fuels public fascination, and Hunter’s “art” might find an eager audience among collectors. Could these works, dismissed as worthless in 2020, become the Banksy-esque relics of a bizarre political chapter? Stranger things have happened.

A Pardon and a Punchline

Adding to the comedy of errors, Hunter’s financial escapades resurfaced mere hours after President Joe Biden issued his son a sweeping pardon for past crimes. Maguire, understandably livid, questioned whether unpaid rent was now effectively “pardoned,” too.

The story takes a satirical turn when juxtaposed against the backdrop of Hunter’s other landlord woes. Sweetgreen co-founder Jonathan Neman reportedly dealt with similar headaches after Hunter allegedly stiffed him on $80,000 in rent and left his property in disrepair.

A Tale for the Ages

Hunter Biden’s Venice escapade is equal parts absurdity and tragedy. For landlords like Shaun Maguire, it’s a costly reminder of the perils of celebrity tenants. For the rest of us, it’s a head-scratching tale that prompts questions about accountability, privilege, and the value of unconventional art.

As for the poop paintings? They may yet find their place in the annals of art history—or at least in the annals of strange news.
