Anti-Israel Rep. Ilhan Omar Worth Millions, Despite Claiming She ‘Barely Has Thousands’

Rep. Ilhan Omar, known for her outspoken anti-Israel stance, has disclosed a net worth ranging from $6 million to $30 million, despite previously claiming she was “barely worth thousands.”

On February 10, Omar posted on social media, stating that her “salary is $174,000 before taxes.” She added: “I don’t have stock or own a home and am still paying off my student debt. So if you are going to lie on something that is public, maybe try checking my public financial statements and you will see I barely have thousands let alone millions.”

Her most recent financial disclosure, however, paints a very different picture, revealing that Omar’s assets total several million dollars.

A significant portion of this wealth is tied to her husband Tim Mynett’s business ventures, including a winery and a venture capital firm called Rose Lake Capital. The VC firm is valued between $5 million and $25 million, while the winery is estimated at $1 million to $5 million. Together, these ventures contributed to a staggering 3,500% increase in the couple’s net worth from 2023 to 2024.

Despite the dramatic financial gains, Omar’s filing still lists $15,001 to $50,000 in student loan debt dating back to 2005, as well as $15,001 to $50,000 in credit card balances.

Media outlets across the country highlighted the drastic rise in her personal wealth, particularly considering that Omar’s previous disclosure showed her net worth at just $65,000. At the close of 2023, Rose Lake Capital and the winery were valued at no more than $51,000 combined. According to court records cited by the Minnesota Reformer, the winery had roughly $650 in its account as recently as February 2024.

Omar has repeatedly dismissed these reports in the past, telling Business Insider that there was a “coordinated right-wing disinformation campaign” targeting her finances.

“I am a working mom with student loan debt. Unlike some of my colleagues — and similar to most Americans — I am not a millionaire and am raising a family while maintaining a residence in both Minneapolis and DC, which are among the most expensive housing markets in the country,” she told BI.
