Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota socialist, has seen an astronomical increase in her wealth over the past year, as a recent disclosure revealed her net worth could be as high as $30 million.
A May disclosure reveals that Omar is worth between $6 and $30 million — that’s an increase of about 3,500%, compared to 2023.
Omar, as a member of Congress, earns $174,000 in salary each year. So how in the world has she recently accumulated such wealth? And how does this wealth contradict her socialist-like political message?
It appears Omar’s wealth jump is primarily contributed to by her husband and former campaign consultant, Tim Mynett. She divorced her husband to marry the Democrat operative after her 2018 congressional campaign, which spent millions worth of campaign contributions for work from his firm.
He’s since transformed his business offerings and owns a winery in Santa Rosa, CA, and a D.C.-based venture capital firm called Rose Lake Capital LLC. The former is estimated to be worth as much as $5 million, and the latter up to $25 million.
Mynett’s jump in wealth is stunning. At the end of 2023, according to The Washington Free Beacon, his combined stake in his now-cash cows was merely $51,000. Moreover, Mynett and his business partner, former DNC adviser Will Hailer, were hit with lawsuits from investors claiming they defrauded them out of millions of dollars, the Beacon noted.
But by the end of 2024, the combined stake is up to an estimated $30 million.
The sudden surge in the couple’s finances has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Executive Director for Foundation For Freedom Online, Mike Benz, for example, posted to X: “Ilhan Omar, on a $174K salary, increased her net worth $24 million in a single year, because of a shady venture capital...

“Book sales”
“Book sales”
Oh Money Laundering ,LOL
Influence peddling pays well, ask Hunter.
‘Rat America.
I should try the grift/scam....
Any mortgage fraud in her past or does she live in a tent ?
All those billion & billions Biden & Company shoveled out the door of the Treasury as his term ended had to end up somewhere.
Its called MONEY LAUNDERING
Any politician that out-performs the market by more than 20% should trigger some form of investigation. And ‘book sales’ should be an automatic audit.
This is off the charts bad, $30M?
Amateur . . . . .
Didn’t she marry her brother?
It came from her husband who works in Venture Capital.
When you go to DC you meet rich people. Sometimes they marry them.
Venture capitalist can make a ton of money. $30 million sounds like mid-level position money.
It makes her a gold digger. It doesn’t she is getting rich off our backs.
I never liked her. I still don’t. But I am not surprised she hooked herself a big fish. It says more about the people surrounding DC than it does about her.
Did he get a cut?
Thanks for the insight.
“A May disclosure reveals that Omar is worth between $6 and $30 million”
No it doesn’t.
It reveals that her are her husband are worth that much between them.
Most of the wealth is from him.
Good.
She can afford to get her mustache lasered off now.
She looks like Charlie Chaplin.
