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.

And that horrible c you next Tuesday HATES America. Deport every Somali. They are trash people from a trash culture.

*she knows well
There was once a time in this country where we had journalists who would have asked this woman, point blank, for an explanation.
She married a rich guy.
None of this…zero…is related to her job in Congress. And none of it has anything to do with her influence or insider information. He husband was a founder of Rose Capital which is a very successful VC company.
The increase comes solely from money that he brought into the marriage.
There are plenty of reasons to not like Omar. This financial statement is not one of them.
Maybe she found it.
Cattle Futures??
so Omar’s 100% clean, what a relief, good know!
Maybe we’ll see them on American Greed soon!!! That would be great..I like those shows - the only place where justice happens.
HAPPY, SAFE, HEALTHY, SANE NEW YEAR!!
