He also owns many houses in Xenia, Ohio. Regarding his home in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Chappelle says, "Turns out you don't need $50 million to live approximately these parts, just a nice smile and a kind way about you. You guys are the finest neighbors ever," he stated at a blues and jazz celebration in the town in mid-September 2006, "That's why I come back and that's why I am staying." Chappelle is a Muslim; he changed to Islam in 1998. He told Time Magazine in a May 2005 interview, "I do not usually talk about my religion publicly because I don’t want people to connect me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I believe it is beautiful if you study it the right way."
