That said, the 'House' being a amjor corporation certainly is widely known, highly influential and obviously controversial. And it still is family owned.

2. Which brings us to Weiss' family, of which we simply know - nothing. As I said in another thread, Weiss could as well be the orphaned heiress, with the company being run by employed executives.

Even though we here are on the speculation board, any speculations should, IMHO, have a basis in what we know so far and not be fantasized out of own wishes or drama(tic) concepts. I've made this theory before, but perhaps the Schnees are derived from nobility/aristocracy back when the RWBYverse was feudal? At the very least, they're an old-money family. According to Heiress Weis Schnee, the SDC still owns quarries which generate Dust to sell, so they're definatly making income.
