five of them for <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/10\/07\/hunter-biden-sells-five-prints-for-75k-each-as-nyc-show-pushed-back\/\">$75,000 a pop<\/a> before they were shown at a New York City

as cash-strapped<\/a> in his child support battle with Roberts. <\/p>\n<p>After Roberts filed a paternity suit in 2019, Hunter argued in an affidavit that he couldn\u2019t make child support payments because he was broke, insisting that he was in \u201csignificant debt\u201d from his divorce with ex-wife Kathleen, with whom he shares three children. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI attest that I am unemployed and have had no monthly income since May 2019,\u201d Hunter wrote. <\/p>\n<p>Hunter, who initially denied ever having sex with Roberts, later settled out of court after a DNA test confirmed the little
