The Baron's oldest son, the politician and landowner, Charles Borre Selby, inherited the estate.

He was educated by English Benedictine monks in Douai in Flanders, Selby came to Copenhagen in around 1770 and in 1771 became a partner in William Chippendale's firm which had interests in the Union House sugar refinery.
