Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a frequent critic of Israel and one of Congress�s most controversial figures, is facing sharp scrutiny after new financial disclosures revealed she and her husband have amassed millions of dollars in assets � despite her repeated insistence that she was �barely worth thousands.�

In a February 10 post on social media, Omar claimed her annual congressional salary of $174,000 was her sole significant income. �I don�t have stock or own a home and am still paying off my student debt,� she wrote. �Maybe try checking my public financial statements and you will see I barely have thousands let alone millions.�

But her latest filing � first reported by the Washington Free Beacon � tells a different story. Omar disclosed a net worth ranging between $6 million and $30 million, fueled largely by partnership income from her husband Tim Mynett�s businesses: Rose Lake Capital, a venture capital firm valued at $5 million to $25 million, and a winery worth $1 million to $5 million.

The couple�s wealth marks a staggering 3,500% increase from 2023, when their assets were reported at just $65,000. At the end of that year, court documents showed the winery had just $650 in its bank account.

The disclosure also lists modest liabilities � $15,001 to $50,000 in long-standing student debt and a similar amount in credit card debt � but they are dwarfed by the sudden surge in assets.

Omar has previously dismissed reports of her growing fortune as �right-wing disinformation,� telling Business Insider last year: �I am a working mom with student loan debt. Unlike some of my colleagues, I am not a millionaire.�
