Envisioned as an artistic legacy, following in the footsteps of the notorious celebrity Kate was always going to be a tall order, and artistic talent has seemed lost to the Carsons since Leonardo refused to accept his inheritance, and his brother Frank took over. During Frank and Richard’s time, the family was more preoccupied with keeping up pretenses than doing any actual work, and the family accounts dwindled.
With the marriage of Jay Carson and Jerri Moore, the family controversially joined with the Moores, receiving a much needed cash infusion from the sale of the Moore ancestral home, 325 Oak Grove Road. According to rumors, Moses Carson squandered the rest of the family fortune on an out of town project, prompting the sale of Villa Carsonia, and putting a huge dent in the shiny facade the Carsons had been keeping up.
When it became clear that Moses would not produce any children, the inheritance passed to his nephew, Matthew Bachelor, who immediately changed his family name and started hailing his own ancestry, titling himself “The Impeccable”. Though the Carsons own the art museum, these days, they have little to be proud of but their name.
Carsons don’t keep their feet on the ground.
