Ilhan Omar

The congresswoman’s purported household net worth, now in the negatives, paints a completely different financial snapshot from the sudden surge in wealth she disclosed the previous year.

Omar initially claimed that her husband’s two companies were valued at up to $30 million in 2024, skyrocketing from a measly $51,000 in 2023.

However, amid a congressional investigation into Mynett’s massive windfall, Omar then revised the financial disclosure form almost a year later, changing her husband’s ownership stakes in both businesses to “None” in an amended filing.

Blaming the discrepancy on an “accounting error,” Omar’s office insisted that she is “not a millionaire,” as the original filing indicated, and that the first submission was based on “incomplete information” provided in good faith from Mynett’s business accountants.

A senior staffer for Omar’s office previously told the Washington Examiner that the numbers reflected the full value of those two firms rather than the valuation of her husband’s individual shares in them. Omar herself has personally used this explanation to account for the high appraisal assessments, saying that her husband is one of “several partners” at these ventures.

California business registration records, however, show that Mynett is one of only two individuals listed as members of eStCru’s corporate leadership. The other is the winery’s chief executive officer, William Hailer, a former Democratic operative.

Despite the congresswoman scrubbing her husband’s investment holdings, Omar’s adjusted disclosure form still showed Mynett appearing to make $100,000 to $1 million in revenue off of Rose Lake Capital during that time, in addition to a few thousand dollars eStCru reportedly brought in before closing down earlier this year.

The reporting irregularities intensified criticism as Omar faced scrutiny for allegedly allowing Somali fraudsters in her congressional district to take advantage of a free food assistance program’s lax regulations, which she had introduced.

State oversight officials say that Omar’s lowering of the guardrails on enrollment enabled dozens of shell catering companies, many of them owned by Somali immigrants, to steal millions of dollars from the federally funded meal delivery program.

Minnesota state Rep. Kristin Robbins, the Republican chairwoman of the state’s House fraud prevention and oversight committee, has raised questions about Omar’s true net worth in light of the fraud scandal.

“How can she go from being extremely wealthy to saying, ‘It was all an error, and actually, I’m not wealthy,’ it defies common sense,” Robbins said in an interview with the Washington Examiner in reaction to Omar’s asset revisions. “For her to have this honestly astonishing swing in her records with no explanation, it doesn’t pass the smell test.”

The Washington Examiner contacted Omar’s office for comment.
