Back in February, Omar brushed off online speculation about her wealth, calling it part of a “right-wing disinformation campaign.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) accountants have disclosed a net worth of as much as $30 million, a stunning revelation that comes only months after she rejected claims of personal wealth as “categorically false.”
The latest financial disclosure shows an extraordinary surge in the assets of Omar and her husband, political consultant Tim Mynett.
Their combined fortune has grown by an estimated 3,500% since 2023, according to figures first highlighted by the Washington Free Beacon.
The growth stems from the couples California-based winery, eStCru LLC, which Omar previously valued at no more than $50,000, but is now listed between $1 million and $5 million.
Meanwhile, Rose Lake Capital, Mynett’s Washington, DC venture capital firm, leapt from under $1,000 in assets last year to between $5 million and $25 million by the end of 2024.
The firm advertises itself as managing $60 billion in global assets, boasting access to “deep networks” in more than 80 countries and expertise ranging from finance and diplomacy to crafting legislation.
Yet despite its explosive growth, Omar’s filing lists “no income” from Rose Lake Capital in 2024.
Back in February, Omar brushed off online speculation about her wealth, calling it part of a “right-wing disinformation campaign.”
She insisted at the time: “I am a working mom with student loan debt… I am not a millionaire.”
Her new disclosure still lists up to $100,000 in combined credit card and student loan debt, but also tens of millions in newly acquired assets, a dramatic shift that raises fresh questions about the congresswoman’s financial narrative.
This is not the first time Omar has faced accusations of being less than forthcoming.
Recently, a reporter from Jewish Breaking News approached her on Capitol Hill to ask about her history of anti-Israel rhetoric, including her infamous 2019 tweet: “It’s all about the Benjamins baby ” — widely condemned as antisemitic for suggesting Jewish money influences U.S. policy.
Though Omar deleted the post following bipartisan backlash, she refused to answer the reporter’s questions, insisting she only speaks to journalists from her Minnesota district.
When pressed, Omar asked the reporter where he lived, then abruptly cut off the exchange.
As her aide reached to hand out a press card, Omar intervened and, after a noticeable hesitation — as if stopping herself from saying something inappropriate — remarked: “No, he doesn’t get one because he’s a… uhhh, mean person.”
Omar has also been called out for tweeting, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”
