Squad member has reported a net worth of up to $30 million, despite previously blasting claims that she is a secret millionaire as 'ridiculous'.
It has now emerged the Congresswoman outlined her net worth in a financial disclosure she filed with the federal government in May.
The documents reveal she and her
, saw a roughly 3,500 percent increase in their net worth last year when compared to 2023,
Much of the financial gains came from businesses Mynett partially owns - a Santa Rosa, California-based winery and a venture capital firm headquartered in
.
Omar valued the winery's assets in the disclosure at between $1 million to $5 million, despite listing its assets at just $15,000 to $50,000 the year before.
Mynett's venture capital firm Rose Lake Capital LLC's assets were also valued at between $5 million to $25 million in the 2024 disclosure - though the company had less than $1,000 in assets in 2023.
It now appears that both of Mynett's businesses had been struggling earlier in 2024.
The winery had just about $650 in its bank account as of February 2024, according to court documents
It was facing a lawsuit at the time from Washington DC-businessman Naeem Mohd, who claimed that Mynett and his business partner - former DNC advisor Will Hailer - failed to pay up after promising to triple his $300,000 investment in the eStCru winery in just 18 months.
That lawsuit has since been settled for an undisclosed amount,
Meanwhile, Rose Lake Capital had a mere $42.44 in its bank account in February 2023, the Minnesota Reformer reports.
The DC-based venture capital firm now claims on its website that it has $60 billion in assets under management.
It touts its 'deep global networks built from on-the-ground networks in more than 80 countries working across business, politics, banking and diplomacy' and says it offers its clients 'expertise' in a number of categories - including structuring legislation.
Yet Omar noted in her disclosure that the income from the DC-based consulting firm was 'none' for 2024, but between $15,000 to $50,000 the previous year.
Despite the apparent windfall from Mynett's companies, Omar denied claims she was a millionaire back in February.
'Since getting elected, there has been a coordinated right-wing disinformation campaign claiming all sorts of wild things, including the ridiculous claim that I am worth millions of dollars, which is categorically false,' she
'I am a working mom with student loan debt,' she continued.
'Unlike some of my colleagues - and similar to most Americans - I am not a millionaire, and am raising a family while maintaining a residence in both Minneapolis and DC, which are among the most expensive housing markets in the country.'
Omar also challenged her followers on social media that month to 'maybe try checking public financial statements and you will see I barely have thousands, let along millions.'
Her disclosure does list as much as $100,000 in credit card and student loan debt.
It also shows that she has between $1,000 to $15,000 in her congressional credit union savings account and another $15,000 to $50,000 in a retirement fund from her time in the Minnesota legislature.
This is not the first time the couple has faced scrutiny over their finances.
In 2020, Federal Election Commission filings revealed Omar's campaign made up the vast majority of the money Mynett's consulting firm earned during the election cycle.
E Street Group, which was partially owned by Omar's husband, Tim Mynett, drew in $2.9 million from Rep. Omar's 2020 campaign and $3.7 million in total political spending from other candidates.
Between January 2019 and November 2020, Omar's campaign contributed 78 percent of the total campaign funds received by the E Street Group.
At the same time, E Street Group received
Amid the uproar, Mynett exited the political consulting business and teamed up with Hailer to branch out into the winery and venture capital industries.
Daily Mail has reached out to Omar's office for comment.
In an unforgettable moment on Capitol Hill, what was supposed to be another viral congressional takedown by New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) turned into a jaw-dropping defeat that’s now being called “the most satisfying conservative victory in YouTube history.”
The atmosphere inside the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing buzzed with anticipation. AOC, known for her fierce questioning and social media prowess, was expected to put Senator John Kennedy—often underestimated for his Southern charm and folksy wit—on the defensive. Instead, it was Kennedy who delivered the political equivalent of a knockout, leaving even some mainstream media unable to shield the progressive superstar from embarrassment.
.
.
.
The drama began when AOC, speaking with signature passion, took aim at Kennedy’s perceived privilege and “elitist” attitude. “How can someone who’s never struggled possibly understand working families?” she said, her voice echoing off the marble walls. To her, Kennedy seemed the perfect target: an older, white, Republican male senator with a gentle accent and patient manner.
But, as the hearing unfolded, it became clear AOC had walked into a well-laid trap. With a calm smile, Kennedy revealed his own rags-to-Rhodes Scholar story: magna cum laude from Vanderbilt, Oxford constitutional law studies, and decades of public service.
“I surely do appreciate your concern about privilege,” Kennedy drawled, before referencing his blue-collar Mississippi upbringing and academic journey. Then, he quietly placed a stack of official documents on the table, shifting the momentum.
Kennedy began unveiling House Ethics Committee reports, connecting AOC’s public crusades with her own financial decisions. First up, those infamous “tax the rich” moments—the Met Gala dress, social media photo-ops, and more. “Can you remind the American people where exactly you wore this message?” Kennedy pressed.
AOC responded with familiar talking points about “using platforms to advocate for working families.” But Kennedy calmly read from ethics reports: “According to these committee records, Met Gala tickets cost upwards of $35,000. You attended as a ‘champion of the people,’ yet accepted thousands in gifts, apparel, and admission for your partner—gifts ruled impermissible by House ethics.”
AOC tried to pivot: “Senator, this is exactly the kind of sexist attack that tries to shut out voices like mine—” but Kennedy, unfazed, replied, “The Constitution doesn’t care about your demographics. It cares about your integrity.”
The revelations didn’t stop at the red carpet. Kennedy turned to AOC’s expense reports: payments for salsa dance lessons, luxury restaurant bills, and designer furnishings, all allegedly documented under official congressional expenditures.
He held up receipts and Instagram screenshots, then asked, “Can you explain how spending more on a single dinner than your constituents earn in a week demonstrates your solidarity with their struggles?”
The chamber was pin-drop silent as AOC shifted in her seat, her usual edge blunted. “You’re weaponizing poverty,” she protested, but Kennedy pressed on: “George Washington communicated without taxpayer-funded dance lessons. Our founders set a higher bar for public service.”
Kennedy’s real competence, however, came into focus when he shifted from spending habits to AOC’s legislative agenda. “Representative, can you cite the specific constitutional authority for the Green New Deal and sweeping federal controls?” he asked, referencing the limitations of the interstate commerce clause and the 10th Amendment.
AOC, usually at her best on climate policy in sound bites, faltered. As Kennedy cited Federalist Papers and historical failures of central planning, even AOC’s supporters appeared visibly uncomfortable. When she tried to answer, her responses were vague and met with calm Constitutional counterpoints.
Kennedy pointedly noted, “The founders designed our system to prevent concentration of power. Your plan would override local control and bankrupt the nation—something even James Madison warned against.”
The senator then drew attention to AOC’s voting record on Israel and her support for movements to defund the police. With statistics in hand, Kennedy contended, “Your policies are getting more people killed in the communities you claim to defend. Rising crime, weakened alliances—is this the justice you propose?”
AOC’s usual charisma was no match for Kennedy’s calm, data-driven rebuke.
The final blow was perhaps the most devastating. Kennedy closed with a brief but powerful autobiography, tracing his journey from small-town Mississippi to Oxford, and his dedication to public service anchored in America’s founding principles.
“You’ve spent years making viral videos; I’ve spent decades studying law, serving the people, and fighting to preserve a Constitution you don’t seem to understand,” he concluded.
His closing words echoed: “Public service isn’t about personal gain or viral fame. It’s about sacrifice, study, and humility. Until you understand that, you have no business making laws for the American people.”
Within hours, clips from the hearing lit up the internet. Hashtags like #KennedySchooling and #AOCExposed topped the trends. Even traditional allies hesitated to offer support as memes, news segments, and analysis celebrated Kennedy’s “masterclass in constitutional government.”
In the days following, conservative talk shows and even some mainstream channels dissected the hearing, citing it as a watershed moment of substance over spectacle. Law professors and political analysts pointed to the exchange as a “case study in leadership, humility, and the difference between scholarship and shallow activism.”
AOC retreated from media appearances, while her fundraising emails saw a sharp drop-off. Meanwhile, Kennedy’s approval soared, and demand for his insights into constitutional law reached new heights, with university invitations and even a “Kennedy for President” buzz amongst fans.
She first rose to fame as a member of the pioneering female rap group The Sequence before embarking on a successful solo career. Over the years, she released critically acclaimed albums that produced timeless hits and earned her Grammy nominations, establishing her as one of the most respected voices in contemporary R&B and soul.
Her career was marked not only by commercial success but also by her ability to connect deeply with audiences. Songs like “No More Rain,” “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” and “Brotha” showcased her gift for storytelling and her ability to channel raw emotion into music that resonated with people from all walks of life.
Beyond her artistry, Angie Stone was admired for her resilience and determination, often drawing from personal challenges to create authentic and heartfelt work that continues to inspire. Tributes from fans, fellow artists, and industry leaders have poured in, highlighting her influence on modern soul and her role as a trailblazer for women in music. Her passing marks the loss of an irreplaceable talent, but her legacy will endure through the songs that continue to uplift and move listeners. Angie Stone’s music remains a reminder of her extraordinary gift and the impact she made on the world.
Just months after R&B singer Angie Stone was killed in an early morning crash on an Alabama interstate, her family has filed a lawsuit seeking damages from a trucking company, truck manufacturer and others, according to The Associated Press.
Stone and the other occupants survived the pre-dawn rollover crash, and passersby helped five of the nine occupants crawl out of the overturned van, according to People. Stone was attempting to exit the wreck when an 18-wheeler carrying a load of sugar with a failed safety system slammed into the van, AP reported.
Stone was ejected from the vehicle and pinned under the van, where she died, according to the lawsuit. Sheila Hopkins, a relative of Stone’s, was also still inside the van and suffered injuries, the lawsuit states.
Stone “remained trapped underneath the van, where she consciously suffered until she ultimately succumbed to the fatal injuries she sustained in the collision and died,” according to People.
She was a Grammy-nominated R&B singer and member of the all-female hip-hop trio The Sequence, one of the first female groups to record a rap song. She was known for the hit song “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” and flourished in the early 2000s as neo-soul began to dominate R&B.
She was on her way back to her Atlanta-area home after a performance at a Mardi Gras ball in Mobile, Alabama, according to People.

Hopkins and Stone’s two children, Diamond Stone and Michael D’Angelo Archer, filed the lawsuit. They’re suing the van driver, the truck driver, the man and companies who owned the van, the trucking company and the maker of the 18-wheel truck.
The suit claims that the truck’s collision avoidance system was faulty and failed to detect the van lying stationary in one lane of the interstate. The suit also claims that the truck driver was listening to music on headphones, wasn’t paying attention and never braked before slamming into the van at nearly 70 mph, according to AP.
Neither trucking company CSRT of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, or truck manufacturer Daimler Truck North America of Portland, Oregon, immediately responded to emails from AP seeking comment Thursday.
In an Instagram post before the crash, Stone, who was born in Columbia, South Carolina, had told fans she was excited about upcoming events and “getting back in the mix.”
“A lot of stuff is going on that I don’t want to just let out of the bag just yet,” she said. “But you can see that there’s a big grin on my face.”
The singer-songwriter created hits like “No More Rain (In This Cloud)” which reached No. 1 for 10 weeks on Billboard’s Adult R&B airplay chart; “Baby” with legendary soul singer Betty Wright, another No. 1 hit; and “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” and “Brotha.” Her 2001 album “Mahogany Soul” reached No. 22 on the Billboard 200, while 2007’s “The Art of Love & War” peaked at No. 11.
The driver of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van — in which the 63-year-old singer, her bandmates, and entourage were passengers — lost control of the vehicle, and when he tried to steer back onto the highway, the vehicle flipped over, the lawsuit states, according to AP.
The suit, filed on Sept. 2 in an Atlanta, Georgia, state court, provides details on how Stone died in the March 1, 2025, crash.

The couple, who share two children together, divorced in 2014 and Tamzin later accused Tom of being unfaithful in a later-deleted Instagram post.
But in a sign the tension has since thawed, Tamzin reshared Tom’s Instagram photo last week, which featured the actor joined by his children at the premiere of his new film The Thursday Murder Club, which also stars

Tom took to his social media to share an image of him and his children on the glitzy red carpet at Leicester Square on Thursday and wrote: ‘Was so proud to have my kids with me at the world premiere of @thursdaymurderclub last night.
‘We had the best time thanks @netflixfilm.’
Tamzin revealed in the past how she was raising their children single-handedly as Tom lived in America.
She previously admitted: ‘It’s tough working as a single parent.
‘I’m lucky enough to have chunks of time when I’m at home and a huge circle of friends and family, although my biggest extravagance is child care.’
Tamzin and Tom split after he allegedly cheated on her with actress Emilie de Ravin while filming American series Once Upon A Time.
In 2023, Tamzin shared a post online a decade since her split from husband Ellis and wrote: ‘Ten years since the father of my kids walked out on us for the final time.’
The marriage to Tom is understood to have ended after he confessed to an affair with Australian actress Ravin, best known for her role as Claire Littleton in Lost, while they worked together on US TV show Once Upon A Time in 2013.

In a now deleted Tweet, Tamzin said she was still hearing more stories of Tom’s alleged infidelity that took place during their nine year marriage.
Tamzin wrote: ‘Ten years since the father of my kids walked out on us for the final time. I still meet new people on jobs who reveal more infidelities and lies that he committed.
‘But thankfully my heart and soul are clear and clean and I could not be happier right now.’
The EastEnders actress later deleted the Tweet and told her followers she marked the decade since her marriage broke down because she felt a ‘feeling of triumph and pride’ having made it through her heartache.
She said: ‘Thank you all for your messages re my now deleted tweet. I was marking the 10-year anniversary with pride, a feeling of triumph & genuine gratitude.
‘I understand it has triggered some people. For anyone struggling, the most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself.’
Tamzin had been introduced to Tom in 2005 by his old friend, actor James McAvoy, who was appearing on stage with the actress.
After nine years of marriage, they were granted a quick divorce in 2014 – leaving Tamzin heartbroken.
‘Tamzin couldn’t believe Tom’s betrayal and was distraught,’ a source told The Sun in 2016.
‘She was excited for him to go over to America and further his career off the back of Miranda while she raised their two daughters and this is how he repaid her.’
Tamzin told Essentials magazine in 2015: ‘I wouldn’t not be with my husband over a one-night stand is all I’ll say.’
The actress said she didn’t want to reveal the precise details of their troubles for fear of hurting their kids.
She added: ‘I will tell them exactly what happened and it will come from me. He’s still their dad and they still have a relationship.’
Tom has since made a name for himself in the US, playing the devil incarnate in TV drama series Lucifer.
