Hunter Biden admitted that his board seat at Burisma directly funded his crack cocaine addiction. He told reporters he used the income to pay for drugs and prostitutes. The New York Post reported this new interview where he finally spoke about the cash flow. He stated he made up to $1 million per year for five years. That breaks down to $50,000 every single month he served on the board. He held this position from 2014 until 2019 without any energy industry experience.
When asked how he paid for a two-month bender at the Chateau Marmont, he gave a direct answer. He said he still had the residual income from the Burisma board. The money kept coming even while he was out of his mind. He claimed he never ran out of cash during those dark times. He stated he never went broke after describing his time in Hollywood. The funds from the Ukrainian energy firm covered his expensive habits. RedState reported that Hunter also discussed visits from his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden. He said his father came to his house while he was struggling with addiction. The Vice President would have the motorcade scaled down to avoid attention.

Hunter described the scene where his father arrived at the door. He said his father appeared at the residence two times and merely rang the doorbell. These visits happened while Hunter was using crack. Hunter tried to explain why he got the job at Burisma in the first place. He argued he had a track record with other groups.
He also claimed to have been chairman of the board for the UN World Food Program. This background check is now part of the public record regarding his qualifications. The numbers show a clear path from public service to private profit. A family member of the Vice President earned a massive salary from a foreign company. This happened while the father held the second-highest office in the land.
Every dollar spent on crack and luxury hotels came from that monthly check. The taxpayer did not pay for it, but the conflict of interest remains a major issue. The documents show the money flowed while the addiction grew worse.
Hunter Biden stated he could still show up for meetings even while addicted. He said he could show up for four meetings a year even when he was a crack addict and out of his mind. This detail highlights the reliability of his board service versus his personal life.
The story ends with the admission that the money funded the drugs. No more speculation is needed about where the cash came from. Reports confirm the direct link between the board seat and the addiction.
