Work ethic and stamina of successful bankers, investors, CEO's etc.

I keep reading about the relentless pace and work ethic of the Andrea Orcels, Ivan Glasenbergs and the likes of this world, going full steam from 5 am late into the night for decades. How on earth does one achieve this type of stamina? 
I am constantly trying to push myself to sustain a harder pace and work more effective & longer, but find myself crashing every 2-3 weeks, followed by being tired and uneffective / procrastinating for some period, before trying to pick up the pace again. 
Can you build up this type of drive or are these people just wired completely different?

 

any links/articles/books about these guys and their work ethic? where are you finding this? just curious

 

Start with excercise and diet. They aren't getting Wendy's every other day
