Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) reported a net worth of up to $30 million in her latest financial disclosure — just months after dismissing claims she was a millionaire as “ridiculous” and “categorically false.”
The May filing shows Omar and her husband, Tim Mynett, saw their net worth jump roughly 3,500% in 2024 compared with the previous year.
The Washington Free Beacon first reported the surge in the couple’s wealth Monday, noting the gains stemmed from Mynett’s two businesses — a winery in Santa Rosa, Calif., and a venture capital firm in Washington, D.C.
In her latest disclosure, Omar valued the winery, eStCru LLC, at $1 million to $5 million — a sharp rise from the $15,000 to $50,000 range reported in her previous filing, the New York Post noted.
Omar’s rapid wealth gains in 2024 could prove awkward after she told Business Insider in February that claims of her being worth millions were part of a “coordinated right-wing disinformation campaign.” At the time, she dismissed suggestions she held more than modest assets as “ridiculous” and “categorically false,” according to the Free Beacon.
She also took to X in February, challenging critics to “maybe try checking my public financial statements and you will see I barely have thousands let alone millions.”
