Interesting. As anecdata, my brother and I are the exact opposite. He was always the Golden Child, and I the scapegoat. He turned out as - what I think normal people expect this child to turn out as - somewhat spoiled & entitled, and less ambitious. As a result, he ended up not being very successful. I on the other hand, am doing much much better. My brother is - without doubt - substantially smarter than me. But this dynamic did not appear to work in his favor. I imagine this dynamic is mostly random noise. I just wanted to give a piece of anecdata to support it's probably random noise.
