The 37-year-old said that this is how he was raised and that he's had a job ever since that day. 

"That’s how my family operates. I’ve been working ever since," he said. 

However, he said that it was his mom, Deborah Divine, that taught him the value of money, and that she's good with finances.

"She’s the one who imparted the financial wisdom," he recalls.

"It resonated with me from a young age. I’ve always saved, and I’ve always worked."

The Levys made it a point to have their kids grow up having "normal childhoods" and decided to raise them in Toronto.
