But for real: why do furries have so much money? Do you get a raise when you come out as a furry? Do you become a furry when you get rich? Do furries just steal a shit ton of money?

Indeed. No IT pros I've ever seen dress that professionally. They brief the highest boss in a polo at best.

Someone draws furry porn, they become rich but it turns them into a furry as well.

A rich furry.

So then they pay for someone else to draw their furrsona.

It is a vicious cycle.

A furball system

IT jobs pay well.

They don't, there's tons of poor furries, too(I'm still convinced my cousin is one...). You just notice the rich ones more because they're the ones that can afford a fursuit and/or commission art.

I work at furry cons, and have done security at Bronycon. There is far more money in that fandom than people realize. A lot of it is IT of course, but you'd be surprised how many young and attractive women are in those suits with real professional careers in law, business, and medical. Furry fandom lets them be themselves.
