I feel like this is the obvious missing link between people like Elon Musk advocating 80-100 hour weeks and the rest of us. I only work 40 hours because I have stuff I actually care about to squeeze into the evenings. If I don't fit in my passion projects and family, then I might as well be an empty husk, not a person. Completely different story when your main job is also your passion project which you own and derive great fame and fortune from. What else is he going to do? Take a break to work on something he cares about less in the evenings? I can work like a machine as well when I'm personally invested in the outcome and I'll 100% burnout if asked to give the same effort when I'm not.
