You couldn't have done it if you hadn't lived within your means. That's where most big stars mess up. They get paid like big stars, so they spend like big stars. They need the next gig, so they can't say "No."
I'm the kind of guy who if I made as much as Chappelle must have, during his long run on Comedy Central, I'd pretty much have the truck I wanted, the piece(s) of land I wanted, the structures and the landscaping I wanted, and a big, fat, diversified portfolio.
I can totally understand walking away from it all, in his shoes. I'll never wear those shoes, but that's about the extent of my ambitions, and I'm in the low 60s, with pretty much the truck, the land, and half of the structures built. Life is good. Why deal with the entertainment industry? It's full of messed-up people.
