McEnany rips Ilhan Omar over $30M-to-$95K shift, brands her 'accidental millionaire'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, on Saturday, April 18, sharply mocked Rep Ilhan Omar after the congresswoman amended a financial disclosure that had once listed her household assets in the multimillion-dollar range.

McEnany used the dramatic revision to ridicule Omar on-air, asking whether anyone had ever “accidentally thought” they were rich and calling attention to the eye-popping gap between the two reported figures.

McEnany unloads over 'accidental millionaire' Omar

McEnany opened her Fox News segment with sarcasm aimed directly at Omar.

“So I have a question for you,” McEnany said. “Have you ever accidentally thought that you were a multimillionaire?”

She then referenced headlines reporting that Omar had backed away from earlier numbers showing household assets worth millions.

McEnany said Omar was now claiming she was not a multimillionaire after all, blaming what was described as an accounting error.

McEnany appeared especially stunned by the scale of the change.

“An accounting error led her to believe she was very wealthy?” she asked incredulously.

She then laid out the revised numbers for viewers, stressing how dramatic the correction was.

According to McEnany, Omar’s filing moved from an estimated $6 million to $30 million in assets to a new range of just $18,004 to $95,000.

“So $6 to $30 million to under $100,000. How in the world does that happen?” she asked.

McEnany also cited reports that aides said Omar had reviewed the form before it was filed.

Still, the discrepancy “did not jump off the page” because the congresswoman was not directly involved in her husband’s business operations.

Ilhan Omar's revised disclosure sparks row

The controversy erupted after Ilhan Omar’s annual financial disclosure appeared to show a dramatic surge in household wealth. 

Notably, in January 2026, President Donald Trump claimed the DOJ and Congress are examining Ilhan Omar's finances, but offered no details to support the assertion

The original filing reportedly listed assets tied to Omar and her husband, Tim Mynett, at between $6 million and $30 million, marking a sharp jump from prior disclosures.

Much of that value was linked to Mynett’s business interests, including a California winery and a venture capital firm.

The sudden spike drew scrutiny and political criticism, particularly given Omar’s long-standing stance as a progressive critic of wealthy elites and corporate power.

Following the backlash, an amended filing was submitted, revising the couple’s total assets down to between $18,004 and $95,000, a fraction of the original figures.

Omar’s team reportedly attributed the discrepancy to valuation errors, maintaining she was never a millionaire.
