Stan had always mistakenly believed that his half-brother came from a poor family, so he went out of his way to flaunt his family’s material wealth to feel superior. A year later, the family set out to visit his brother’s home. The dilapidated shack they first saw was just a facade; his true residence was an ultra-luxurious mansion. The opulent scene before them came as a huge shock to Stan and Francine, and Steve also got to experience new and exciting forms of entertainment he had never encountered before. This stark disparity in wealth stemmed from a choice regarding their grandfather’s inheritance many years ago. Back then, Stan had chosen cash, while his brother had opted to develop and manage the land, ultimately reaping a steady stream of immense wealth.
