Overall, company inheritence works differently from throne inheritence. The parent chooses which of their children they believe is most suited to run the company. Oftentimes, this is the eldest child, due to them having had more time in their life to learn how the company works and how to run a company than the younger siblings have. But sometimes, the eldest would rather do something else with their life or displeases the parent in such a way, where said parent chooses a younger sibling.

Now that we know that Weiss seems to have a younger brother... well... Little bro might be Heir Option #3, if Papa Schnee gives up on Weiss.

Interesting way to go about company inheritence: have multiple kids and think "If this heir doesn't work out, I can make more."
