How Ilhan Omar went from capitalist-hating Squad activist to Marxist millionaire sporting Jimmy Choos
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar may claim to hate capitalism, but doesn’t appear to have any trouble taking advantage of its spoils.
The self-proclaimed Marxist has been sporting sunglasses from luxury designers Jimmy Choo, Oliver Peoples, and Prada — worth up to $500 each — to lecture people on spreading the wealth.
The Democratic “Squad” member was also revealed this week to have a net worth of up to $30 million, a 3,500% increase since 2023, on her latest financial disclosure with third husband, Tim Mynett.
This comes after she stated “I am not a millionaire,” during a February interview, clearly aiming to shield her newfound wealthy status from the public.
Adding to her image as a champagne socialist, part of Omar’s newfound fortune comes from her being part owner, alongside Mynett, of a California winery selling its signature eStCru blockchain Cabernet for $73 per bottle and cans of sparkling rosé for $20 each — available not at the government-run grocery store, but boutique markets along the West Coast, an analysis by The Post revealed.
Before she became a [Somali] Sonoma vineyard vixen, the sanctimonious Squad member has long looked the part: attending “Defund the Police” rallies in $500 Jimmy Choo sunglasses; hobnobbing with the common folk in $530 black Prada shades; or protesting against Israel at Columbia University decked out in finely hand-crafted $400 specs from luxury eyewear maker Oliver Peoples.
And Omar’s bonanza windfall couldn’t have come at a better time: a review of her financial disclosure by The Post revealed that she has as much as $50,000 in credit card debt.
