Basim Mansour Net Worth 2026: Michael & Son Owner

No reputable outlet publishes a net worth figure for Basim Mansour, and the $6.3 million figure on the older version of this page had no source, so we have removed it. His wealth comes from owning Michael & Son Services, the Mid-Atlantic plumbing, electrical and HVAC company his father founded in 1976 and that he took over at 19, plus commercial property and, since 2025, a stake in the Flavor Hive restaurant group.

What is Basim Mansour's net worth?

There is no reliable published estimate. Michael & Son is privately owned and does not publish revenue or profit, and Mansour has not discussed his personal wealth with the press.

A few hard numbers are on record, mostly from property deals. In 2012 he bought the former Wyeth plant in Richmond, Virginia, for $1.9 million and put roughly $1 million more into it, according to Richmond BizSense. In May 2025 a group he owns half of paid $1.75 million for a lot in Alexandria for a restaurant, per ALXnow. Those deals show real assets, but they do not add up to a net worth figure.

Where the money comes from

• Michael & Son Services. The core business. It offers electrical, plumbing and heating and air conditioning service to homes across the Mid-Atlantic. The company's team page lists him as "Proud Son & Owner".
• Commercial real estate in Richmond. Richmond BizSense reported that his Richmond site houses Michael & Son's warehouse, call center and trade school, and that most of the remaining space was leased to outside tenants, including an electrical supplier and a call center operator.
• Restaurants. Since 2025 he has backed the Flavor Hive food brand as a partner (see below).

The older page said he earns $250,000 a year, down to an hourly rate. That had no source and has been removed. The company's revenue is also not public, so the common search "how much does Michael and Son make" has no reliable answer.

Michael & Son: history and size

His father, Mousa "Mike" Mansour, came to the United States from Ramallah in 1968 and started the business as a small electrical firm in 1976, according to Arab America. Basim began tagging along on jobs as a young child. When his father died suddenly of a heart attack in 1990, at age 47, Basim, then 19, left college to run the company and support his mother and sister (Profiles in Success).

He grew it from a garage operation with a truck or two into a regional company. The company's website now lists service areas in:

• Virginia: Alexandria, Norfolk, Richmond, Charlottesville, Fredericksburg
• Maryland: Baltimore, Hyattsville, Frederick
• North Carolina: Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, Greensboro

The team page names Scott MacArthur as president and COO, which suggests Mansour has handed day-to-day management to a separate president while keeping ownership. Earlier press, including a 2016 Richmond BizSense story, described Mansour himself as president.

The Michael & Son Technical Academy

His best-known move in the trade press was training his own technicians. He told PHCP Pros in 2018 that he could get a thousand resumes for an IT job in minutes but struggled to find plumbers or HVAC techs, so the company decided to make them.

• The academy opened in 2016 inside the Richmond campus. Mansour told Richmond BizSense he spent "seven figures" building it.
• By 2018 it had an 18,000-square-foot training center with a 12-week plumbing course and an eight-week HVAC course, followed by ride-alongs with experienced techs.
• Students paid no tuition and received a minimum-wage stipend, and the company converted the old Wyeth tower into free dormitory housing for trainees.

Recent changes (2025–2026): Flavor Hive

In 2025 Mansour moved into restaurants. ALXnow reported that he owns 50% of a venture with Flavor Hive founders Amgd Gende and Mohamed Chowdhury, which bought a Richmond Highway property across from Potomac Yard for $1.75 million to build a fast-casual Asian fusion restaurant. Northern Virginia Magazine, citing the Washington Business Journal, reported plans for more locations, including Annandale, Manassas and Georgetown, and quoted Mansour saying he saw an opportunity to help the brand grow. The food truck had 1.5 million Instagram followers at the time.

Early life, education and family

Mansour worked from a young age: a paper route at 11, and jobs alongside his father, while his mother worked long shifts at the family restaurant and a breakfast diner, Profiles in Success reported. The Washington Business Journal, naming him a 2012 Minority Business Leader, said he did not hold a degree from a prestigious university but earned credits at a local community college, and that he was married with two children. His wife's name is not in the sources we reviewed.

He is known for running: Arab America described his office desk as built onto a treadmill.

Age, height and weight

He was 19 when his father died in 1990, which puts his birth around 1970 or 1971. The old page's claims that he is 47, 175 cm tall and 80 kg had no source and have been removed.

Why estimates differ

Home-services companies are valued on revenue and profit, which Michael & Son has not published. The public record shows a multi-state company, a Richmond property bought for $1.9 million in 2012 and a 2025 restaurant investment, but no outlet has put these together into a verified figure. His net worth is therefore unknown.
