Basically, what Shadow said is: How the heir to a company is decided is very different and much more flexible than how the heir to a throne is decided.

In that, the owner of the company just... chooses who will be the heir, and can even split things up and decide who gets what part of the company.

So, even if Weiss is younger or Winter's twin, she is still easily eligable to be heiress to the company simply because her father decided she would be the heiress.
