Ilhan Omar Denies Being Worth Millions - Her Financial Disclosure Says Otherwise

When Ilhan Omar was elected to Congress, her net worth was negative $45,000. Now, it stands at up to $30 million.
The figures arenât from one of those unreliable and unverified âCelebrity Net Worthâ websites that turn up in a Google search - theyâre from her own financial disclosure forms.
As the Washington Free Beaconâs Andrew Kerr reported:
An increase of $51,000 to $6 million is a 11,664% increase - and to $30 million is a 58,724% increase. Their exact net worth isnât known because congressional financial disclosures report assets in ranges, so the percent increase is somewhere in between the two astronomical numbers.
As mentioned already, this comes in the face of Omar denying having a net worth in the millions, and even challenged people to prove that she was.
Kerr continued to explain that:
Mynettâs California-based winery eStCru LLC and venture capital firm Rose Lake Capital both achieved remarkable financial turnarounds in 2024. At the end of 2023, Mynettâs combined stake in both companies was worth no more than $51,000, the firms had less than $700 across all their bank accounts, and Mynett and his business partner, former DNC adviser Will Hailer, were saddled with lawsuits from investors claiming they defrauded them out of millions of dollars. But by the end of 2024, Mynettâs combined stake in the two firms ballooned to anywhere between $6 and $30 million, and he and Hailer settled the lawsuits with cash settlements, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
The couple is no stranger to financial controversies; Omarâs campaign paid Mynett $2.9 million in the 2020 election cycle when the two were married to other people.
