Claims circulating online question how Ilhan Omar, who earns a $174,000 annual salary as a member of Congress, could see such a dramatic shift in reported net worth over a short period of time.
According to these claims, Omar’s net worth was reportedly -$32,000 in 2019, around $65,000 in 2023, and then surged to $30 million in 2024. The posts suggest that the sharp increase did not come directly from her congressional salary.
The focus is instead placed on her husband, Tim Mynett, who is said to have experienced roughly 3,500% financial growth through a venture capital firm that allegedly received billions of dollars in funding. Online commentators argue that this raises serious transparency and ethics questions, especially given Omar’s political role and voting record.
