I think you're right that he's going to play in Russia and therefore get his money anyway, however I know you and many or even most others won't believe it, but there are people who can get to a point where they decide they have enough money, even without serious illness or going "bonkers". In fact, I don't think Chapelle went bonkers, I think he decided he could comfortably support himself and his family for the rest of his and their lives and didn't want to deal with show biz and people anymore so he made some moves to get away from the bright lights and is probably truly happy now.
