Indeed, Leno has no intention of using his riches to let himself relax. He previously told CNBC Make It that it's important to him to maintain a busy schedule and keep himself "hungry" for success.

Leno says that he hasn't been in the pool of his Beverly Hills home in 30 years because he can't shake the feeling that he could be working instead.

"Every time I get near it, I'll get that Boston voice in my head going, 'Really? Is that what you are now? A rich guy that sits in a pool?'" he says. "There must be something I could be doing besides this."
