Inheriting a company works COMPLETELY differently from inheriting a throne.

Inheriting a throne - The throne goes to the oldest, unless the oldest dies.

Inheriting a company - The owner of the company chooses which child is most suited to own the company. If they don't want to choose just one, they can choose multiple children (usually two) and have them each run different sections of the company.

Age has nothing to do with inheritence of a company. It's just usually the older child who is heir to a company due to being alive longer and thus having received more training in the way the company is run, which makes them more qualified. But sometimes, the younger sibling is more qualified, for example if something in the oldest sibling's life will interfere with their ability to run the company (example: They become too sickly to work and may die soon) or if they refuse to run the company.
