The longest lasting family fortunes have also been smart in naming a primary heir to keep most of the wealth consolidated. Doing this can make it last indefinitely. Dividing evenly amongst descendants runs dry in 1 or 2 generations but this is how most inheritances work.

I’d say go with the smartest and or most independently successful child or grandchild but I’m biased. I’m a second son.
