Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is facing a fresh wave of scrutiny following the release of her 2024 financial disclosure form, which reveals a staggering leap in her household's reported wealth. The 43-year-old Democratic lawmaker, a prominent member of the so-called 'Squad', has seen her and her husband Tim Mynett's combined fortune skyrocket by as much as 3,500 per cent since the end of 2023.
Despite earning a standard congressional salary of less than $175,000 (£138,000) a year, Omar's latest filings suggest a net worth that could reach as high as $30 million.
The sudden windfall has reignited long-standing accusations regarding the business dealings of Mynett, a political consultant who transitioned into venture capitalism. In the 2024 disclosure, Omar attributed much of the gains to two primary businesses owned by her husband.
The first, Rose Lake Capital LLC, which Mynett co-founded in 2022, was valued by Omar at between $5 million and $25 million in her latest filing. This represents a monumental increase from the sub-$1,000 valuation she provided for the firm just one year earlier.
Questions Mount Over Ilhan Omar's Millions and Husband's Business Ties
The sheer scale of the valuation jump has raised eyebrows amongst financial experts and political opponents alike. While Rose Lake Capital reportedly claims to manage $60 billion in assets, Omar's disclosure noted that the firm earned no income at all throughout the last year. This discrepancy has led critics to question the basis of the multi-million-pound valuation for a company apparently generating zero revenue.

Only a racist Islamophobe would see anything odd about this.
“”valued by Omar at between $5 million and $25 million in her latest filing.””
I’ve always thought it’s wrong to report values like that. It should be the actual IMO..but I’m not running the country!
Wonder why we’re just learning about her net worth for 2024 at the end of 2025..probably the 2025 increase is worse!
And the BILLIONS stolen from MN taxpaying citizens????
That was a stupid thing to write.
Clearly, you did not read the article, nor did you do two seconds of research to find out “why” it reported what it did.
From the article:
“While Rose Lake Capital reportedly claims to manage $60 billion in assets, Omar’s disclosure noted that the firm earned no income at all throughout the last year. This discrepancy has led critics to question the basis of the multi-million-pound valuation for a company apparently generating zero revenue.”
It’s likely been in the files for months.
Because its not “news” (all of the money comes from hubby) no one reported on it.
I make a slip of 1000 dollars and the IRS is all over me.
Her? Just the sound of crickets from them.
She’s a piker. Slow Joe would have wanted 10% of the $9 billion.
Increasing personal wealth is the only real talent most members of Congre$$ really have.
I have been groomed to not care. I don’t.
Shell company? Didn’t Hunter Biden have some connection to Rose Capital, or was that something else?
Stop it. Our betters have a right to largess because they are good people. /sarc
William Devane influenced her to go into precious metals and the Fisher guy convinced her he only makes money when she makes money.
3,500 % increase in net worth resulted. /S
She is our affordability problem.
As Glenn Beck has told radio guests who are members of Congress or DOJ people, when the American people see year after year of crooked politicians allowed to be above the law and given special passes and allowed to wait for the statute of limitations to run out, they lose faith in the American system of justice and that could have a truly dangerous affect on the future of the Republic.
I could add we also watched these people railroaded into prison: J6, Rudy Giuliani, Roger Stone, Gen. Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos (who finally served 12 days in prison but insisted he is innocent).
She’s the one who married her brother.

To clarify Tim Mynett in NOT her brother.
She twice married and twice divorced the love of her life from Somalia, and in between, she married and divorced her brother.
But Tim is some leftie American, not even African American!
I am not sure, why Karen Bass is not protesting this last marriage?
