What will become of them?

Because they are business tools, he dresses them up (in outfits meant to be shown) and keeps them in a dedicated, neat little house (a keeping shed) near his mansion. He does not interfere with the keeping shed, but gives them an impeccable life.
For the sake of making money, he makes them perform and put on shows to a degree that won't kill them, and he trains and schemes all sorts of things into them.
