Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Social Media
Claim: Ilhan Omar’s net worth jumped from below zero to $30 million since joining Congress.
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Omar did report a negative net worth in 2019, and her 2024 disclosure listed assets that could total up to $30 million. However, those figures reflect broad valuation ranges for businesses partly owned by her husband, not her personal wealth. Disclosure forms do not provide an exact net worth, and her individual finances could still be negative or modestly positive.
