You know what’s a tough sell? Telling Congress your net worth is somewhere between $6 million and $30 million, having the House Oversight Committee and the Department of Justice open investigations into how you got that rich on a $174,000 salary, and then coming back and saying, “Actually, never mind. That was an accounting error. We’re really worth about $95,000.”
That’s exactly what Rep. Ilhan Omar just did. And her excuse? She blamed it on her accountant.
Omar filed her annual financial disclosure in May 2025 showing assets between $6 million and $30 million, primarily through her husband Tim Mynett’s two companies: a venture capital firm called Rose Lake Capital in Washington, D.C., and a winery in Santa Rosa, California. That represented a roughly 3,500% increase from the prior year’s filing. As recently as 2023, those same businesses were valued at less than $51,000 combined.
Washington Examiner columnist Byron York highlighted the staggering revision.
From $30 million down to $95,000. That’s not a rounding error. That’s not a decimal in the wrong place. That’s a difference so massive it raises more questions than it answers.
