Get this: Squad member Ilhan Omar\u2019s net worth skyrocketed up to $30 million last year. That is an increase, my calculations, 3500% in a year,\u201d Waters said to begin the segment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo where is the gold coming from? Her husband, not her brother, her husband, who owns a winery and a venture capital firm. Omar is not happy the news is out. She\u2019s calling these claims ridiculous and categorically false. I guess being a millionaire isn\u2019t a great look for a communist. Fox News host Julie Banderas joins us now. How did she make that much scratch?\u201d Waters asked.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<div id=\"as5808\" data-title=\"You Might Also Like\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s called husband. But what\u2019s interesting is she says, \u2018I don\u2019t have millions, I just have barely thousands,\u2019 which is interesting when you are married and not the moneyed spouse. It\u2019s our money until you don\u2019t have to show for it. So, of course, it\u2019s his money. Try divorcing her, and I will bet you anything that she will say she\u2019s worth all of those millions,\u201d Banderas said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs he like the Muslim Paulie P.? Because that is one sweet investment,\u201d Waters joked, referencing Paul Pelosi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, it\u2019s amazing. But his firm actually was hired by her campaign and they paid his firm $2.9 million, so she paid him. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on there,\u201d Banderas responded.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>\u201cShe paid him, and now he\u2019s paying her back,\u201d said Waters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to marry someone who will pay me. I don\u2019t know for what, I don\u2019t know what my job is, but I will take it,\u201d said Banderas.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><iframe class=\" lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/share.grabien.com\/share?id=3106200&amp;userid=17447&amp;loginid=15879&amp;playercolor=%23ee1a3b&amp;playersize=auto&amp;code=e78904f79373767e22cb4e37499143a8\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-src=\"https:\/\/share.grabien.com\/share?id=3106200&amp;userid=17447&amp;loginid=15879&amp;playercolor=%23ee1a3b&amp;playersize=auto&amp;code=e78904f79373767e22cb4e37499143a8\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>asdfadssdf<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Omar\u2019s rapid wealth gains in 2024 could prove awkward after she told Business Insider in February that claims of her being worth millions were part of a \u201ccoordinated right-wing disinformation campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div data-delay=\"4000\" data-block=\"12\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>At the time, she dismissed suggestions she held more than modest assets as \u201cridiculous\u201d and \u201ccategorically false,\u201d according to the Free Beacon.<\/p>\n<p>She also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IlhanMN\/status\/1889079083335868429\">took to X<\/a>\u00a0in February, challenging critics to \u201cmaybe try checking my public financial statements and you will see I barely have thousands let alone millions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the close of 2023, Mynett\u2019s combined stake in his two companies was valued at no more than $51,000, with less than $700 in their bank accounts, while he and business partner Will Hailer faced investor lawsuits alleging multimillion-dollar fraud.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of 2024, however, Mynett\u2019s stake had soared to between $6 million and $30 million, and the pair settled the lawsuits with cash payments, according to the Free Beacon.<\/p>\n<p>Mynett\u2019s business dealings have dogged Omar since their March 2020 marriage.
