I don't know if they had tried to make their own fursuits or not.
It's also possible to be a fan of things without having the skills to do things with them. Like a techie that likes computers, but would never really design his own because he is worried he would screw it up, so he just buys them pre-made.
Plus people with a lot of money typically don't have much free-time (that's the sacrifice for having a well paying job is that they will keep you freaking busy). So they may not have the time to learn to make something and instead will pay someone else to do it for them.
