Yes, I'd say in all three of our cases we're just as motivated as before we got rich.
The Zenters worked super hard more because they had a deadline than because they had no money. I'm just as frazzled before deadlines. I worked 16 hour days for about a month straight to get Hackers & Painters in by the deadline.
Demo Day. Like all YC-funded startups they had to demo to investors after 10 weeks. They worked particularly hard because they had nearly zero written when they arrived in January. The two of them wrote 40k LOC in 10 weeks.

Heck, with KLOC numbers like that, Google was lucky to avoid an all-out bidding war with IBM.
