If you're talking about mats acquisition, well, as long as he has people to farm for him, or money to buy mats, he'll get as much as he wants. Not that hard to do with 50 million gil in the bank.
Outside the box, dude. A subjob helps you be better at your job. There is no better subjob for alchemy and carpentry than botanist. No other craft is going to make as big a difference as you, yourself, having control over your own quality materials. Look at my signature. Do you not think I would know how much having my own miner augments my two smiths?

At some point a crafter needs to be their own crafter and not a leech. I hope he's paying these gatherers what they're worth, because they're 80% of his worth in this economy.

50 million gil wouldn't buy you half of my HQ ore reserves.
