Ilhan Omar’s $30 MILLION disclosure submitting revised to beneath $100,000—claims she’s ‘not a millionaire’
“It is very common for members and their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar has denied being a millionaire and has now claimed that her net worth is actually under $100,000 in a new disclosure filing. This comes after a filing of up to $30 millon net worth was revised down to a significantly smaller amount.
Omar has blamed an accounting error for her disclosure last year that said she and her husband held assets between $6 million and $30 million. The Wall Street Journal reported that in an amended filing, Omar and her husband’s assets are supposedly $18,004 and $95,000,
“The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told the reporters, adding that the filing was corrected “as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”
The amended filing followed a request for more information from the Office of Congressional Conduct this year.
Omar’s lawyer claimed that the filing was inaccurate and that it was the fault of an accountant.
“As the busiest of people, it is very common for members and their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations and determinations that appear on public filings,” the attorney said. “While the error is of course unfortunate, there is nothing untoward and nothing illegal has occurred.”
The changed filing said that Omar reported $102,503 to $1,005,200 in 2024 for income from joint assets. Other documents showed that her husband got $213,200 from his venture capital firm and $3,000 in income from his winery. A 2025 email between Omar’s husband and an accountant showed the winery being valued at $1.5 million and his venture capital firm being valued at $7.9 million.
The updated disclosure also showed that Omar owes $15,001 to $50,000 in student loans and similar credit card debt. House Republicans had already questioned how such dramatic asset reporting changes went unnoticed.
In February, House Oversight Chairman James Comer expressed concerns about disclosures showing two companies jumping from thousands to potentially $30 million in value between 2023 and 2024.
Comer noted at the time that the sudden increase “raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence,” and requested business filing records. Omar’s office rejected Comer’s inquiry as “a political stunt” designed for fundraising rather than legitimate oversight.
