Who heads Masimo? Biden donor offered $85K job to convict niece Caroline who slammed pay as too low
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A major donor to President Joe Biden reportedly offered his niece a job in Los Angeles to help her get back on her feet in 2018. Emails and text messages found on Hunter Biden's laptop indicate that the woman, Caroline Biden, later expressed disappointment that the $85,000 annual salary was "below minimum wage."
Caroline, who was 31 at the time, pleaded guilty in July of that year to using a stolen credit card to charge more than $100,000. After being sentenced to two years probation, she said she wished to serve it in California near her cousin Hunter.

Because Caroline needed a parole job to move west, Hunter's uncle and Caroline's father, Jim Biden, asked the President's son to convince her to accept the Masimo Corporation's offer, according to news reports obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. "Hunter," Jim texted July 25, just one day before Caroline's confession was formalized. "Caroline was made an offer and she told [Jim's wife] Sara, not me, she couldn't possibly take it 85k 10 per cent bonus, full benefits, 3 week paid vacation, I [sic] week sick leave and 450 shares of stock!"
An email from Caroline with the subject line "Masimo Verbal Offer" was also forwarded to Hunter by Jim. Caroline said in the email, "I cannot take a job full time and relocate for 85,000[.] That's below minimum wage in California after taxes. I'm 31. I made more money every other year."
Who heads Masimo?
Masimo, an Orange County-based medical device company, was founded in 1989 by Joe Kiani as a "garage start-up." According to the company's website, he was convinced that the "use of adaptive signal processing in the measurement of physiological parameters could solve the problems of low perfusion and motion, which had long plagued in-vivo monitoring and especially pulse oximetry, the measurement of the oxygen saturation of arterial blood."
Joe Kiani also founded the nonprofit Patient Safety Movement Foundation in 2012 and also runs Cercacor, a spin-off company. The website states, "He is also the co-founder of a civic engagement platform called A Starting Point. Joe serves on the boards of Children's Hospital of Orange County, Chapman University's President's Cabinet, SDSU's College of Engineering Advisory Board and Clinton Foundation Executive Council. Joe received his Bachelors and Masters in Science in Electrical Engineering from SDSU and has received numerous awards, including the Society of Critical Care Innovation Award, Ernst & Young's National Life Science Entrepreneur Award, an Honorary Doctor of Science from Chapman University, the Hubert Humphry Dawn of Life Award and the IPO Education Foundation's first IP Champion Award." The Daily Mail reported that Kiani has donated nearly $3 million to Biden's 2020 presidential campaign, Super PAC, and his inaugural committee.
Meanwhile, Caroline later told Hunter she “didn’t get the job” she was offered in the beginning, but was “given an intern job at 31 years old because of your dad asking him to give me something even though I bombed it.” She texted Hunter on July 28 that Joe Biden “told me he was done with me yesterday.” “I can get a job for 85K working one art deal,” she added. “I’m not a fit for the fu***** company.”
The following year, Caroline rammed her car into a tree in Pennsylvania while driving under the influence of prescription drugs. She later pleaded guilty to DUI, and avoided jail time. She received a five-plus months of probation, as 20 days of a previous revocation were credited to her sentence.
