Jay Leno says he never spent any of the money he earned from "The Tonight Show." Instead, he kept working stand-up the whole time and lived off that second income while saving the TV money. He has said that habit goes back to his early career, when he always worked two jobs and spent the smaller check. So all his cars, buildings, and the rest came from the other income stream, not from "The Tonight Show" salary.
