The document, the only one filed this year, revealed the Minnesota politician’s reported wealth, with most of the reported assets linked to business interests held jointly with her husband, Tim Mynett.
Most notably, Mynett runs a California winery and a Washington, D.C. venture capital firm, of which the former was valued $1–$5 million when the document was filed, while the latter was worth $5–$25 million.
While the firm reported no income for 2024, according to the filing, the company’s website previously referenced assets under management, though such figures are not independently verified through congressional disclosures.
Additionally, Ilhan Omar listed $100,000 in student loans and credit card debt, as well as savings valued between $1,000 and $15,000 and a retirement account with anywhere from $15,000 to $50,000.

Namely, the Minnesota representative had much more in capital gains in 2024 and was the sole proprietor of a greater number of assets. For instance, she had upwards of $60,000 in non-tax-deferred equity funds.
On the more noteworthy side, she reported only $15,001–$50,000 in partnership income from her husband’s winery, so that the $1–$5 million reported in 2025 was a noticeable change.
Notably, Ilhan Omar also reported only $1–$1,000 in joint capital from her husband’s venture firm in 2024, a figure which would explode to $5–$25 million in the span of a year.
Finally, the disclosure has also attracted attention on social media, including from accounts such as “Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker,” which argues that sharp changes in lawmakers’ reported wealth highlight broader transparency gaps in congressional financial disclosures.
Such commentary typically focuses on year-over-year valuation swings in private assets rather than on verified evidence of wrongdoing, and reflects growing public scrutiny of how elected officials report non-public business interests.
