Yes of course Jimbo can afford to join in, but it's more of an ego boost if lackeys do it for you, I imagine. As always, fanboys care more than the objects of their passion do.
Well, see, the majority of Jimbo's 'fans' have much tighter
finances than Jimbo himself. They have things to do like
pay the rent or the mortgage, the utility bills, the groceries,
both routine and unexpected medical bills, gasoline or
transit fare, clothing, other regular every day stuff. Then
maybe they want to save up for things like a house or a
better vehicle, not to mention always have some money
that can be used for emergencies. If they manage to pay
for all the necessities without going too badly into debt,
it's always fun to spend a bit of money on leisure.
In other words, most people have much better things to do
with their money than save the dignity of a rich person who
could easily afford to do it himself.
