IIhan Omar addresses net worth report, says accounting error led to multimillionaire tag

Ilhan Omar claims a disclosure listing her wealth as high as $30 million was an “accounting error”— says her real net worth is $18,000-95,000.

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, facing potential investigations pushed by President Trump and House Republicans, said she isn’t as wealthy as documents she previously submitted to Congress suggest because there were major accounting errors in her filing.

An Omar disclosure filed last year showed she and her husband held assets of between $6 million and $30 million, a massive rise in wealth from her previous annual filing. That jump triggered questions among Republicans eager to scrutinize a critic of the president.

The lefty “Squad” lawmaker – facing fraud probe calls from President Trump – insisted the initial figures in a disclosure filed last May were completely off-base, as an amended filing now shows shared assets with her husband of up to just $95,000, according to The Wall Street Journal.

“The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” her spokesperson, Jacklyn Rogers, told the outlet.

“The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”

The original disclosure signaled a striking surge in income, listing that Omar and her husband, Tim Mynett, held assets valued between $6 million and $30 million – a roughly 3,500% jump in net worth from 2023 to 2024.

The inflated figures stemmed from Mynett’s two businesses – a Santa Rosa, California-based winery and a venture capital firm headquartered in Washington, DC.
