Scandal-scarred Rep. Ilhan Omar and her hubby have gone from the penthouse to the poorhouse.<\/p>\n

The husband of the Minnesota \u201cSquad\u201d firebrand \u2014 who once valued his venture capital and wine empire at up to $30 million \u2014 now claims to be pocketing as little as $200 a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The embattled socialist claimed hubby Tim Mynett made no income last year from his main business, Rose Lake Capital, according to her newly released 2025 <\/p>\n

The only money Mynett \u2014 who has nearly two decades of experience in DC \u2014 earned last year is a meager $200 to $1,000 from his defunct California-based wine business eStCru, which sold bottles such as \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Lie\u201d before going belly up in April.<\/p>\n

Omar claimed the total value of the couple\u2019s assets was between $20,000 and $125,000 for 2025, and their credit card and student-loan debt hovered between $30,000 and $100,000 \u2014 putting their net worth at negative-$80,000-$95,000, according to the report.<\/p>\n

The head-scratching financial disclosure comes after the couple in 2024 reported sudden ballooning wealth \u2014 from close to nothing to between $5 million and $30 million \u2014 sparking intense public scrutiny.<\/p>\n

That spurred a Congressional investigation into Omar\u2019s finances, just as a massive social services fraud scheme\u00a0involving the Somali community in her district\u00a0was blowing up.<\/p>\n

In response, Somalia-born Omar filed an amended 2024 financial disclosure in March, listing the value of Mynett\u2019s ownership stakes in both businesses at zero. She chalked up the \u201cdiscrepancy\u201d on an accounting error.<\/p>\n

Despite the businesses reportedly being worth nothing, Rose Lake Capital still generated income between $100,000 and $1 million and the wine business between $2,500 and $5,000 that year, according to the amended disclosure.<\/p>\n

\u201cVoters see right through the corrupt lies of Ilhan Omar,\u201d Republican National Committee spokeswoman Delanie Bomar told The Post. \u201cOmar has spent her entire career covering up Democrat-enabled fraud that cost taxpayers billions, so it\u2019s no surprise that she would do the same for her husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Mynett, 44, launched Rose Lake Capital in 2022 with his longtime business partner, Will Hailer, another Democratic operative.<\/p>\n

The pair met working for Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison in 2012 when he was running for re-election to Congress. <\/p>\n

Ellison, who was caught on tape being bribed by Somali fraudsters \u2014 a claim he rejected, saying he took the meeting in good faith \u2014 gave up that House seat in 2018 to make way for Omar, a move Hailer has taken credit for orchestrating.<\/p>\n
