Ilhan Omar, the first person of Somali origin and the first woman of Muslim faith to have won a seat in the House of Representatives, acknowledged having earned $30 million in a few months.

Through a financial declaration that the Democrat presented to the federal government in May, it is indicated how —between 2023 and 2024— she and her husband, Tim Mynett, surprisingly increased their net worth.

An investigation carried out by the New York Post newspaper managed to access the declaration of the 42-year-old politician, where it indicates that her financial gains obtained derive from various businesses carried out by her husband, including a venture capital venture set up in Washington, which is called Rose Lake Capital LLC.

Another of the millionaire businesses of the woman born in Africa arises from a warehouse located in Santa Rosa, California, where she is dedicated to marketing various products and raw materials.

The surprising thing about both businesses is that, in 2023, the assets of her company set up in the nation's capital did not exceed $1,000 dollars and a year later they were valued at a range that oscillated in five million dollars.

With respect to the establishment authorized in the "Golden State", its assets went from around $15,000 and $50,000 to be declared in 2024 up to $25 million.

Ilhan Omar is the daughter of a Somali father and a Yemeni mother, but due to the civil war that broke out in her country in 1991, when she was eight years old, she and her family emigrated to Kenya, where they remained for four years in a refugee camp.

Later, they emigrated to the United States to settle first in Virginia and then in Minneapolis, where Ilhan Omar had to learn to communicate in English.

Years later, she managed to graduate in Political Science as a student at the University of North Dakota.

As a declared Democrat, she managed to enter American politics until she became a representative for Minnesota.

However,Her continued support for Palestine led her at the time to severely criticize the administration headed by Joe Biden, this being an ally of Israel.

On more than one occasion she has denounced how difficult it is for her to work alongside colleagues who, far from advocating for peace in the Middle East, reproach her for her position taken in the war conflict that took place in Gaza.
