Rep. Ilhan Omar’s worth went from -$45,000 in 2019 to $30 million just 6 years later – this as Omar makes $174,000 a year on her congressional salary
Financial disclosures revealed the massive shift in her net worth, leading to questions about the sources of her wealth and the transparency of her financial dealings.
When Omar was first elected to the U.S. House, she didn’t report any significant assets and had quite a few debts, including student loans ranging from $15 to $50,000 and a car loan of $10,000 to $15,000.
According to OpenSecrets, her estimated net worth at the time was about -$45,000.
Fast forward to May of this year, and Omar’s financial disclosure tells a different story.
Her latest filing estimates her household net worth, shared with her husband, to be between $6 million and $30 million.
This represents an increase of at least 66,676% over six years
