Fischer is eccentric for sure, and I have no doubt that he knows how to
play his status to his advantage (monetary or otherwise.)  What gives me
hope is his requirement for 'fischer random' rules.  To me, this
suggests that his eccentricity is focused on the popularization of FRC and
not on direct income.  Given that this is his purpose (allegdly) the
question is whether other top-level players will agree.  His other
requirement was world-class competition, and I truely wonder how many
other grand-masters will be willing to play him at his own game (despite
the fact that 'his game' is designed to level the playing field by
removing opening book knowledge.)
