Robert Hunter Biden (born February 4, 1970) is the second son of former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and his first wife, Neilia Biden. He is a partner at Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC and is Counsel to Boies, Schiller, Flexner, LLP, a New York-based-law firm. His appointment in 2014 to the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings has attracted controversy.
In late 2012, Biden was selected for limited-duty service in the U.S. Navy Reserve. Commissioned as an ensign in the public affairs branch in 2013, he was discharged less than one year later because of cocaine use.
Biden was born in Wilmington, Delaware, the youngest son of former U.S. Senator and current Vice President Joe Biden, and his first wife, Neilia Hunter. His mother and younger sister, Naomi Christina Biden, were killed in an automobile accident in 1972, in which he and his brother, Beau, were seriously injured. He and his brother encouraged his father to marry again, and Jill Jacobs became Hunter's and Beau's stepmother in 1977. His half-sister Ashley was born in 1981.
Biden received a bachelor's degree from Georgetown University; and a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School. After graduating from college, Hunter Biden was a member of the Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest, where he met his wife.
From 2001-2008, Biden was a founding partner of Oldaker, Biden, and Belair, LLP, a Washington DC-based law firm. He also served as a partner and board member of the mergers and acquisitions firm Eudora Global. Biden was chief executive officer, and later chairman, of the fund of hedge funds PARADIGM Global Advisors, founded in 1991 by Dr. James Park. At MBNA, a major US bank, Biden was employed as a senior vice president.
