Cardi Brothers Net Worth 2026: Cardi's Furniture Owners

No reputable outlet has published a net worth figure for the Cardi brothers, Nick, Ron and Pete Cardi. They are the third generation to run Cardi's Furniture & Mattresses, a family-owned New England furniture chain founded in 1928. Nick Cardi died in 2019. Ron and Pete still run the company. The $22.2 million figure this page used to show had no source and has been removed.

What is the Cardi brothers' net worth?

There is no reliable estimate. Cardi's is a private family business and does not publish sales, profit or property values. No business journal or rich list has valued the company or the family's share of it, and the old page's figure was not attributed to anyone.

What can be said is that the business is large for a regional furniture retailer. In 2015 it opened its 10th Massachusetts store, and it now has showrooms in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. As well as Cardi's Furniture & Mattresses, the brothers ran the Rhode Island Design Center and Ashley HomeStore locations. Some of their stores are very large buildings. A store planned in Attleboro in 2000 was designed at about 150,000 square feet. Whether the family owns the buildings or leases them is not public.

Cardi brothers' yearly income

The old version of this page said the family earned about $1 million a year "according to an investigation", with monthly and daily breakdowns. No such investigation could be found, and the figures have been removed. The company does not disclose owner pay or profits.

History of Cardi's Furniture

According to The Sun Chronicle, Cardi's is a third-generation family business founded in 1928, and its first store opened in Cranston, Rhode Island. The brothers' father was Nicholas Cardi Sr. Nick Cardi's obituary says the three brothers owned and operated the business together.

Recent changes (2025–2026)

BedTimes Magazine reported in September 2026 that Helix Sleep had begun selling its mattresses in every Cardi's location. Helix is the second brand from its parent company, 3Z Brands, to be sold in Cardi's showrooms, after Leesa. The chain still supports local groups. In September 2026, WPRI covered its long-running support of The Arctic Playhouse, a community theater in West Warwick. The brothers also appear often on Rhode Island TV. In 2020, Turn To 10 featured Ron and Pete Cardi in a segment marking the Pawtucket Red Sox's 50th season.

Nick, Ron and Pete Cardi

Here is what the public record shows about each of the three brothers.

• Nick Cardi (Nicholas Cardi Jr.) – Grew up in Cranston and went to the Community College of Rhode Island. His obituary says he graduated from the University of Tennessee and served in the U.S. Army Reserve. He handled product sourcing and sales training for the company. He died on August 2, 2019, at 71, after a four-year illness.
• Ron Cardi – Co-owner, who appears regularly for the company on Rhode Island TV.
• Pete Cardi – Co-owner, and the third of the brothers who ran the business together.

Early life and family

The old page said the brothers were born in a small town. In fact they grew up in Cranston, Rhode Island, where the family business began. Their mother was Marion Cardi, and they had a sister, Sandra (Cardi) Zompa, who died before Nick.

Cardi brothers' wives

The old page named Julia (Judy) Young Cardi as "Cardi Brothers' wife." She was Nick Cardi's wife, according to his obituary. The same obituary names Ron's wife as Maria Cardi and Pete's wife as Diana Cardi. Nick and Judy had one son, Nicholas Cardi III.

Education

The old page credited a "David Cardi" with founding the company after studying at the University of Tennessee. That was a mix-up. It was Nick Cardi who graduated from the University of Tennessee, and the company was founded by an earlier generation in 1928. We did not find published details about Ron's or Pete's education.

Age, height and weight

The old page said both brothers were 55 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 75 kg. None of that had a source. Nick was 71 when he died in 2019, so his younger brothers are most likely in their 70s. We have removed the heights and weights.

Why no figure is given

Family furniture chains usually hold much of their value in inventory, warehouses and real estate, and none of that is reported publicly for Cardi's. Ownership is also shared among family members, and since 2019 that includes Nick's heirs. Without a reported valuation or sale, a net worth figure for "the Cardi brothers" would be invented. The public record shows nearly a century of family ownership and a chain that is still growing its brand partnerships in 2026.
