Brett Hitt Net Worth 2026: HITT Contracting Co-Chairman and Co-Owner

No reputable outlet has published an estimate of Brett Hitt's net worth. The earlier version of this page put it at $3.7 million and described him as an assistant project manager earning $155,000 a year. Those figures had no source, and the job title was more than 30 years out of date: Hitt did start at the family company as an assistant project manager in 1984, but he has been its co-chairman since 2017. When the board was formed that year, HITT Contracting said he and Jim Millar remained the sole owners of the firm. Virginia Business reports that the company earned $8.7 billion in construction revenue in 2024.

What is Brett Hitt's net worth?

Forbes, Bloomberg and Celebrity Net Worth have not published a figure for Hitt. HITT Contracting is private, and although its revenue is reported to trade publications, its profits, equity value and the split of ownership between Hitt and Millar are not public.

What the record does show is that his wealth is tied to one of the largest general contractors in the United States. Revenue rose from $5.6 billion in 2023 to $8.7 billion in 2024, and the Business Journals reported in 2025 that HITT had become the Washington region's largest general contractor by total revenue. Construction firms often run on thin margins, however, so revenue alone does not show what the business is worth. The $3.7 million figure on the old page was far too low for a co-owner of a company this size, but no outlet has put a reliable number in its place.

Brett Hitt yearly earnings, monthly income and salary

His salary and income have never been published. The table on the old page ($155,000 a year, $12,900 a month) had no source and has been removed. As a co-owner of a private company, most of his income would come from its profits rather than a salary, and those figures are not disclosed.

Philanthropy

Hitt gave $5 million toward Hitt Hall at Virginia Tech, home to the Myers-Lawson School of Construction, where he sits on the industry advisory board. At the building's dedication in September 2024 he announced a $2 million scholarship endowment in memory of his father, Virginia Tech reported. He also supports Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Breakthrough T1D and the Wounded Warrior Project.

Early life and family

Hitt is the son of Russell Hitt, who led the company for decades and died in 2020. The Washington Post gave Brett's age as 50 in December 2011, which puts him at about 65 in 2026. The old page's story about trade school and tinkering with tools had no source and has been removed.

Brett Hitt wife

He is married to Kristen Hitt; local land-use records reported by the Rappahannock News list the couple together as owners of the family farm. The claim on the old page that she is "a mother to their children" is not documented and has been removed.

Education

Hitt is a Georgia Tech graduate, according to Virginia Business. The old page also said he earned a master's degree at "Yorktown HS in Arlington," which is a high school, not a graduate program; that claim has been removed. The old height and weight figures had no source either.

Net worth compared

Other builders profiled on this site include Anthony Consigli of Consigli Construction and Brad Greiwe of M.R. Tanner Construction. Like HITT, their firms are private, so reliable personal net worth figures are rare.

Why there is no reliable figure

HITT is privately owned by two people, and neither the value of the company nor their shares has been published. Revenue figures are public, but profit and equity are not. Until a reputable outlet estimates the company's value or Hitt's stake, this page will not give a number.
