Fox News host Jesse Waters and a guest on Tuesday discussed a report stating that ‘Squad’ member Rep. Ilhan Omar’s wealth has “skyrocketed” by tens of millions of dollars, quipping that she could soon overtake former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s net worth.
The dramatic increase in the Minnesota socialist-leaning Democrat’s wealth, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, came just months after she dismissed 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 to roughly $30 million.
The Washington Free Beacon noted the gains stemmed from Mynett’s two businesses — a winery in Santa Rosa, Calif., and a venture capital firm in Washington, D.C.
In his show segment, Waters quipped with fellow Fox host Julie Bandaras that Omar’s personal fortune, at this rate of growth, will soon outpace Pelosi, who, with her husband Paul, is reportedly worth between $257 million and $268 million in 2024–2025.
