Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said she is not a millionaire and blamed a major accounting error after a congressional financial disclosure listing her assets as high as $30 million drew scrutiny from Republicans and a congressional watchdog.<\/p>\n
An amended filing reviewed by The Wall Street Journal shows Omar and her husband\u2019s assets were between $18,004 and $95,000, a sharp drop from an earlier disclosure that estimated their holdings between $6 million and $30 million.<\/p>\n
“The amended disclosure confirms what we\u2019ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told the Journal, adding that the filing was corrected “as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”<\/p>\n
The revised disclosure came after the Office of Congressional Conduct requested additional information earlier this year, according to the Journal.<\/p>\n

The amended filing shows Omar reported between $102,503 and $1,005,200 in income in 2024 from assets she and her husband own, according to the Journal. Documentation attached to the attorney\u2019s letter showed $213,200 in distributions to her husband from his venture capital management firm and $3,000 from a winery.<\/p>\n

A 2025 email between Omar\u2019s husband and his accountant valued the venture capital firm at $7.9 million and the winery at $1.5 million, though he owns roughly one-third of both businesses, according to tax documents cited by the Journal.<\/p>\n
The updated disclosure also shows Omar has between $15,001 and $50,000 in student loan debt and a similar amount in credit card debt.<\/p>\n
The discrepancy had already drawn scrutiny from House Republicans, who questioned how such a large swing in reported assets went unflagged.<\/p>\n
In a February letter to Omar\u2019s husband, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., raised concerns about financial disclosures showing the value of two companies, eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital, surged from tens of thousands of dollars in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.<\/p>\n
Comer said the sudden increase “raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence” and requested financial records tied to the businesses.<\/p>\n
Omar\u2019s office pushed back, describing Comer\u2019s request as “a political stunt” and part of a campaign “meant to fundraise, not real oversight,” according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n\n\nRep.

A 2025 financial disclosure filing had previously listed Omar\u2019s husband\u2019s business interests in the millions, including a winery valued between $1 million and $5 million and a venture capital firm valued between $5 million and $25 million.<\/p>\n
Those valuations were later revised in the amended filing, with the businesses listed as having no net value once liabilities were factored in, according to the Journal.<\/p>\n
Omar, a progressive Democrat originally from Somalia and a member of the “Squad,” has frequently clashed with President Donald Trump since first being elected in 2018 and has long been a target of Republican criticism.<\/p>\n
Trump has suggested Omar benefited from Minnesota\u2019s sprawling welfare fraud scandal involving many people from the Somali community, a claim she has denied.<\/p>\n
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton weighed in on the amended filing, questioning how previously unreported liabilities wiped out millions in reported assets.<\/p>\n
