We investigate a possibility of primordial black hole (PBH) formation with a hierarchical mass spectrum in multiple phases of inflation. As an example, we find that one can simultaneously realize a mass spectrum that has recently attracted a lot of attention: stellar-mass PBHs (similar to O(10) M-circle dot) as a possible source of binary black holes detected by LIGO/Virgo collaboration, asteroid-mass (similar to O(10(-12)) M-circle dot) as a main component of dark matter, and earth-mass (similar to O(10(-5)) M-circle dot) as a source of ultrashort-timescale events in Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment microlensing data. The recent refined de Sitter swampland conjecture may support such a multiphase inflationary scenario with hierarchical mass PBHs as a transition signal of each inflationary phase.
