Financial records expose Rep. Ilhan Omar’s fortune—skyrocketing from $65,000 to tens of millions in just one year, despite her public claims of modest living.
Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is under fire after newly released financial documents revealed she and her husband hold a staggering net worth of no less than $30 million — a revelation that directly contradicts her February social media post claiming she lived “modestly” with only a few thousand dollars to her name.
In February, Omar insisted her $174,000 congressional salary was her only real income, declaring: “I don’t have stock or own a home and am still paying off my student debt.” She even mocked critics, telling them to “check my public financial statements.”
But according to disclosures published by the Washington Free Beacon, Omar’s financial reality tells a different story. Her assets exploded by 3,500% in just one year, jumping from $65,000 in 2023 to tens of millions in 2024.
The filings reveal Omar and her husband own:
- A Santa Rosa, California winery worth between $1M–$5M (previously listed at just $15K–$50K).
- A Washington-based venture capital firm valued between $5M–$25M.
This financial bombshell has raised serious questions about transparency, integrity, and the sources of Omar’s sudden fortune, intensifying political scrutiny.
