Maggie Hardy has an estimated net worth of $3.4 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Maggie Hardy profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1.3 billion in 2017.

Maggie Hardy is an American businesswoman who owns and leads 84 Lumber and also owns Nemacolin in Pennsylvania. She joined the family business in 1987 and first worked on developing Nemacolin into a resort. In 1992, her father handed her ownership and management of 84 Lumber when she was 26. The next year, the company passed $1 billion in sales, putting her in charge of a much bigger operation very quickly.

Her wealth is tied mainly to 84 Lumber, a major privately owned supplier of building materials in the United States. The business was founded in 1956 in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania, and its name comes from that town, 20 miles south of Pittsburgh. Today, 84 Lumber has 320 stores in 34 states and brings in more than $5 billion a year. Hardy also owns Nemacolin, a resort property her father started and she helped expand.

How Maggie Hardy makes money

Most of Maggie Hardy's fortune comes from 84 Lumber, where she serves as owner and CEO. The company sells building materials and is one of the largest privately owned suppliers in the country. Hardy took control in 1992, and sales topped $1 billion the following year. Over time, the business grew into a much larger chain, with 320 stores across 34 states and annual revenue of more than $5 billion.

She also owns Nemacolin, a resort in rural Pennsylvania that she began working on after joining the family business in 1987. Beyond the core businesses, Forbes notes that she owns vintage airplanes and a piece of the Berlin Wall. Those assets help show the breadth of her holdings, but the main driver of her wealth remains the building materials business created by her father and expanded under her leadership.

How Forbes' estimate changed

Forbes valued Maggie Hardy at $1.3 billion in 2017, then $1.4 billion in 2020 and $2.9 billion in 2021. The estimate moved down to $1.4 billion in 2022 before rising again to $2.7 billion in 2023 and $4.1 billion in 2024. Those swings tracked the value of her ownership in 84 Lumber, the company at the center of her fortune, along with her other holdings such as Nemacolin.

The estimate shifted again after 2024. Forbes put her at $3.6 billion in 2025 and $4.3 billion in 2026. On Forbes' real-time billionaires tracker, she was at $3.4 billion as of October 20, 2026. Even with those changes, the same basic picture holds: her money is still tied mainly to 84 Lumber, a large private supplier whose scale gives her wealth much of its value.
