Thank you for your detailed post. Your family business accomplishments are impressive and will help you to tell a strong story. That said, the GPA and GMAT would likely keep you out of Wharton. Fuqua, Cornell and IESE are more realistic and Ross could go either way.
Email your resume if you want to talk further about your application strategy. I work with a lot of family business applicants each year.
