And he was a stockboy at the business when it was being built from $0 to $X million.
How is that any different than Paul Graham taking support calls at ViaWeb or Joel Spolsky putting up blinds at Fog Creek? In a family business, everyone does what it takes to make it successful. They are not inheriting the business. It is their business even if they are not listed as co-founders in the legal papers.

Because Paul Graham and Joel Spolsky were actually the ones running the business while they did those extra things like take support calls/put up blinds.
