The memoir was heavily promoted by Hunter with appearances on CBS, Jimmy Kimmel, CNN and BBC. Yet, it failed to make a large impact. Despite the Biden name, the intrigue surrounding his life and the various controversies he has been a part of, the book hardly sold any copies.
How many copies did Hunter Biden sell? Beautiful Things went on sale on April 6, and according to reports, it sold only around 10,600 copies. The book debuted at No. 12 on Publisher s Weekly hardcover nonfiction chart. By the end of the week, it dropped from number 5 to 208 on Amazon. The Daily Mail also reported that the book remained No. 4 on The New York Times bestsellers list for Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction , that week.
Hunter Biden s new autobiography, Beautiful Things, posted disappointing sales in its first week on the shelves, selling just over 10,000 copies despite a massive promotional push.
The new 272-page book detailing Hunter s struggles with addiction and tragedy debuted at No. 12 on the Publisher s Weekly hardcover nonfiction chart, after selling a meager 10,638 copies.
It was edged out slightly in the rankings by The Calcium Connection: The Little-Known Enzyme at the Root of Your Cellular Health.
Topping the list was poet Amanda Gorman s The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country, which sold 42,000 copies for the week.
The sales for Beautiful Things were viewed as disappointing in light of Hunter s international PR blitz that saw him appear on the BBC, ABC s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and two separate interviews with CBS News.
