I believe that it is tradition for the founding family to adopt the next generation head of the business.

#6Weihenstephan is still one of my fav breweries. Would be nice to see articles regarding how some of these companies managed to keep going for this long.

From the Wiki page, its all companies 'excluding associations and educational, government, or religious organizations'.

If you listed universities, it seems like you'd have to list churches as well, and then they would dominate the list. They're not really "companies", more like organizations.
The page even says "excluding associations and educational, government, or religious organizations."
