Ilhan Omar walked into Congress with a modest financial background. By her own campaign filings during the 2018 midterm elections, her reported net worth hovered around $65,000. Fast forward to 2024, and according to her official financial disclosure, her household net worth skyrocketed to a possible high of $30 million.

That’s not a typo. That is a 46,000% increase in less than six years. And yet, the mainstream media is silent. The political establishment shrugs. And America’s working-class families are left wondering how an elected official on a congressional salary could amass millions in wealth while claiming to be just another voice for the poor.

Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty wasn’t silent. He broke down the facts in a segment that quickly went viral, racking up nearly 3 million views and 126,000 reactions. “Where did Ilhan Omar get all that darn money from?” he asked, pointing to Omar’s repeated marriages, questionable past, and sudden rise in wealth. The answers, or lack thereof, have stunned many Americans.

Let’s walk through it.

When Omar first ran for Congress in 2018, she was married to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi—a man who, according to multiple reports and allegations, may have been her biological brother. That claim, long whispered and poorly investigated, has never been fully addressed by the congresswoman. If true, such an act could amount to immigration fraud—a federal crime. Yet no investigation has ever led to charges.

In 2020, Omar had divorced and remarried a man named Ahmed Hirsi. Still, her finances remained modest. Then came the third marriage, this time to a political consultant named Tim Mynett. His name isn’t widely known, but he played a central role in what many believe is one of the most overlooked political enrichment schemes in modern congressional history.

Between 2019 and 2020, Omar’s campaign paid Mynett’s firm, E Street Group, over $2.7 million for services. Ethics complaints were filed. Public outrage was loud. Omar insisted everything was legal. And then the payments stopped.

But that didn’t end the story. It appears to have only begun.

By 2024, Omar’s congressional disclosure forms listed assets worth between $6 million and $30 million. At the high end, this places her among the wealthiest members of Congress—a stunning leap for someone who just a year earlier claimed she wasn’t even a millionaire.

So what changed? According to her filing, her newfound wealth comes from equity in privately held businesses—including “Mynett Equity Holdings LLC,” which has vague valuation figures ranging from $5 million to $25 million. There are also additional holdings in real estate, cash, and investment accounts.

Omar’s defenders claim this wealth is technically her husband’s, not hers. But they filed their disclosure as a married couple. Under congressional rules, assets of spouses must be reported jointly. The wealth is legally hers too.

What makes the situation even more suspicious is the timing.

These wealth gains occurred during the exact years when Democrats in Congress were pushing trillion-dollar spending bills, regulatory loopholes, and massive corporate contracts. Omar, as a member of the powerful Congressional Progressive Caucus, had a seat at the table.

Did her political power open doors for her husband’s firms? Did insider knowledge influence investment decisions? Were campaign funds indirectly funneled into private pockets under the guise of consulting? These are the kinds of questions that watchdogs should be asking—but almost nobody is.

Finnerty put it plainly: “Ilhan Omar did not win the lottery. Bernie Madoff was cheating, and he still wasn’t doing that well.” The numbers speak for themselves. A 46,000% wealth increase isn’t luck. It’s either extraordinary business genius or something much more troubling.

The American people deserve answers. Omar’s campaign was built on attacking the wealthy, demonizing capitalism, and preaching about fairness. Yet her own financial rise mirrors the very corruption she claims to fight against.

She continues to portray herself as a victim—a daughter of refugees, misunderstood, maligned by conservatives. But the reality is that she has become part of the ruling class, enriched by her position and insulated from scrutiny.

She’s used her office to push radical legislation, side with extremists, and speak more about foreign lands than the people of Minnesota. Meanwhile, her bank account grows.

And while she’s urging compassion for criminals in Somalia and demanding America open its borders, she remains silent about how she and her husband amassed a fortune that working Americans could never dream of achieving.

Where did the money come from?

That’s not just a rhetorical question. It’s a matter of public trust. Congressional office is not supposed to be a fast track to millionaire status. Yet time and again, Democrats like Omar seem to find a way to turn “public service” into personal enrichment.

Her defenders say the disclosures are legal. That may be true. But legality is not the same as morality. Americans struggling to afford groceries and gas don’t want lectures about privilege from someone whose wealth jumped by millions while they lost their savings.

President Trump was attacked relentlessly for his wealth, despite building it over decades in the private sector. Yet when Ilhan Omar sees her fortune surge after just six years in office, the press looks the other way.
