Ilhan Omar Faces Scrutiny Over Finances Amid Net Worth Surge
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is once again under the microscope after new financial disclosures appeared to contradict her earlier claims of modest personal wealth.
In February, Omar described herself as a working mother with student debt, living between two expensive housing markets and holding only “a few thousand dollars” in assets. She dismissed allegations of secret wealth as “ridiculous” and part of a right-wing disinformation campaign.
But federal filings reviewed in May revealed a dramatic shift: Omar and her husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, reported a 3,500% increase in net worth compared to 2023.
