In more recent years, her net worth has often been disputed. In a recent 2021 financial disclosure examined by Fox News, it is indicated that Omar’s disclosure “does not appear to list any of the congresswoman’s personal bank accounts,” despite this being required by federal law. Four of the five line items listed under “Assets and ‘Unearned Income'” belong to her spouse, Tim Mynett, partner at political consulting firm eStreet Group.
“Omar’s campaign paid eStreet Group $3.7 million over the 2020 cycle, according to campaign filings, contributing four-fifths of political payments to her husband’s firm during the election cycle,” Fox News reported. The outlet also disclaimed that it is entirely possible Omar does not have a personal bank account matching the $5,000 reporting threshold.
Omar recently also inked a significant book deal with HarperCollins, according to Forbes, worth an estimated $100,000 or more. However, as her agent claimed, Omar has not personally profited from the book, as yet, due to the advance having been offered to her co-author, Rebecca Paley. Any details surrounding said book deal (for “This Is What America Looks Like”) were also absent from her financial disclosures for that year.
“Any advance for the book went to the congresswoman’s collaborator and not to the congresswoman (per House Ethics guidelines), and she has not earned any money from the book,” said Steve Ross, Omar’s agent, per Forbes. “Anything else you hear about her benefiting financially from the book is groundless - and erroneous - speculation.”
Not everyone is happy with this potential lack of financial transparency, however. Attorney Paul Kamenar of the National Legal and Policy Center believed book deals should be disclosed. “The book contract in and of itself is an asset,” Kamenar said, as detailed by Forbes. “It’s one that hasn’t necessarily realized its value...

“David Steinberg has covered the Omar saga for several years and has openly questioned whether she is who she says she is. Steinberg has alleged that Omar assumed her name from an unrelated family that was being granted refugee status.”

According to caknowledge.com she’s worth 83 million, owns several luxury cars and lives in a 9 million dollar abode.
Don’t know how true it is but I find it very difficult to believe she’s as poor as this article alleges. Not when she has spent several years with lucrative seats on very influential House committees.
In humps, at any rate.
.
A very tight knit family, in fact, she married her brother.
Like the Biden’s say, Fock ‘em, but why marry them?
.
>>Isn’t her wealth measured in camels?<<
Only as sex partners.
Them and her brother.

Uh, what next “she qualified for welfare and Obamaphone as low income”? (kidding)
I recall reading her (real) father was a wealthy official (and leftist) in Somalia. When governments shifted in their war, her family had to flee...she changed her name to that of another family leaving Somalia, pretending to be their daughter. Her brother...immigrated under another name. Once here, she had a sham marriage to her brother—to get him a green card...
Main point here, she was never a “poor immigrant” but from a leading Somali family, which explains a lot of her ill attitude toward the USA.
Book deal = legal money laundering
Members of Congress attract money like flies to a rotting corpse. I read AOC is already worth nearly $30 million. It’s because nobody asks any hard questions or demands any accountability. They’re expected to get rich. Just don’t ask how.
When asked how does she like her camels, one hump or two, she replied, “Ask my brother”.
Glad she volunteered to work in Congress, re no salary.
