This sounds like childish jealousy to me. I know nothing of Purple's business matters, nor do I want to. But I do know that there are two types of people in business. (1) You build a business and as it grows it demands more and more of your time and you give in to those demands until eventually you have little or no free time for yourself or for anything outside of the business. I'm reading Matt Cooper's book on Tony O'Reilly at the moment and in it, during the height of his success Tony said in an interview about his young children "the children are almost a memory for me", due to his simultaneously running businesses in both the US and Ireland. Despite the billions, I found this an incredibly sad statement and I would believe that the man is to be pitied rather than envied for the level to which he allowed his addictions (workaholism / not knowing when to say "enough" etc.) to consume his life. The other type of person in business (2) is smarter than that and employs people as the business expands, to cope with the expansion. A very good businessperson can eventually make themselves redundant (but well-paid) if the team they build are able to run the business. Perhaps Purple has enough time to contibute to Askaboutmoney because the 100 employees are doing their jobs well.
