“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.”
In a May 2025 financial disclosure, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) reported that she and her husband, Tim Mynett, had a combined net worth of between $6 million and $30 million. When the disclosure was reported in September, it raised eyebrows because it suggested their net worth had jumped by as much as 3,500% from the previous year.
At the time, The Washington Free Beacon reported that the couple’s wealth was “derived almost entirely from the value of Mynett’s ownership stake in his two companies that, together, were worth no more than $51,000 at the end of 2023.”

Needless to say, such a sudden and massive increase in wealth drew widespread attention to Mynett’s companies, which consist of a winery and a venture capital firm.
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that “facing potential investigations pushed by President Trump and House Republicans,” Omar filed an amended disclosure stating that their current net worth falls between $18,004 and $95,000.
Omar explains the dramatically higher estimate on the May 2025 disclosure was due to “major accounting errors.”
The Journal notes that in the amended filing, Mynett’s businesses “are shown as having no value once liabilities are factored in.”

I visited the principal address of ESTCRU winery. This winery is co owned by US Rep of Minnesota Ilhan Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett, yet seems to allegedly be a shell business used to launder funds.
Here we were informed that 40+ wineries operate out of this location and that ESTCRU hasn’t been a client for years. That is very strange because in 2024 they made about $15,000 and in 2025 it exploded to up to $5 million dollars… yet they weren’t producing any wine??
BTW no biz license exists for ESTRCRU at this address. The other wineries here are properly licensed and producing.
Would’ve loved to try it and promote ilhans wine! Follow me for pt 2, the wine makers here didn’t appreciate our visit and were very defensive.
It seems like they thought we were questioning their businesses and not Ilhans. In part two another wine maker assures us that Ilhan is a real person…
