Ilhan Omar says husband only earned $200 last year
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) claimed in a newly released income report that her husband, venture capitalist Tim Mynett, made as little as $200 last year after previously disclosing that his assets were worth as much as $30 million in 2024.
TL;DR
- Ilhan Omar's latest financial disclosure states her husband, Tim Mynett, earned between $200 and $1,000 from a defunct winery and zero from his venture capital firm.
- The couple's total assets are now reported to be between $20,000 and $125,000, with debt ranging from $30,000 to $100,000.
- This is a significant decrease from a previous disclosure that valued Mynett's assets at up to $30 million.
- Omar's office explained the discrepancy as an 'accounting error' and 'incomplete information' from Mynett's business accountants.
- The article also mentions Omar facing scrutiny for allegedly allowing Somali fraudsters to exploit a food assistance program she introduced.
- Minnesota state Rep. Kristin Robbins questioned the drastic swing in Omar's reported net worth, calling it a lack of common sense and not passing the 'smell test'.
