William K. Vanderbilt II’s (1878-1944) great-great granddaughter, Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, has been named a legacy trustee by the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum Board of Trustees. Costin is a seventh-generation descendant of Cornelius Vanderbilt, the shipping and railroad entrepreneur who amassed one of the greatest fortunes of the 19th century.

“The museum is honored that Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, who is named after Consuelo Vanderbilt Earl (1903-2011), daughter of William K. Vanderbilt II, will serve on the board of trustees,” said Ronald A. Beattie, president of the board. “Vanderbilt’s legacy lives through his estate and museum, and now through Consuelo, his living heir.”

A singer and songwriter, Costin is an international pop star. She has performed around the world and shared the stage with such notable artists as Mya, Tweet, Vanessa Carlton and the late Joe Cocker.
