The life of a public servant is rewarding in a variety of ways: contributing to the greater good of society, representing the best interests of constituents, and (if you're a member of the United States Congress) becoming filthy rich.
That's right, Minnesota representative and "Squad" member Ilhan Omar has seen her net worth increase by a staggering amount in a very short time.
The best part, as reported by the New York Post, is that this news came not long after Omar denied that she was a millionaire.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) reported a net worth of up to $30 million in her latest financial disclosure - a document filed just months after the congresswoman dismissed claims she was a millionaire as 'ridiculous' and 'categorically false.'
Members of Congress make a decent salary … but not that decent. This has people asking questions.
The disclosure, filed in May, shows the far-left 'Squad' lawmaker and her husband, Tim Mynett, experienced a roughly 3,500% increase in net worth last year, compared to 2023.
The financial gains came from Mynett's two businesses, a Santa Rosa, Calif.-based winery and venture capital firm headquartered in Washington, DC.
While Mynett's firm, Rose Lake Capital, reported less than $1,000 in assets in 2023, its assets were valued between $5,000,000 and $25,000,000 in 2024.
Earlier this year, Omar vociferously denied being another wealthy denizen of the DC Swamp:
'Since getting elected, there has been a coordinated right-wing disinformation campaign claiming all sorts of wild things, including the ridiculous claim I am worth millions of dollars, which is categorically false,' Omar told Business Insider.
'I am a working mom with student loan debt. 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,' she added.
Yes, it's a rough life, and everyone's hearts go out to you, Ilhan.
You can probably dry your tears with a few handfuls of $100 bills you have lying around in your couch cushions.
