00:00 clinically that people that are suffering from pathological narcissism experience a

00:04 lot of internal suffering.

00:06 It's definitely common to observe signs of narcissistic personality disorder in famous

00:11 celebrities, particularly actors and singers who often display such behaviors on stage

00:17 or in public, and they might even insist on being the center of attention at any event

00:22 that they attend or engage in provocative behavior on social media to elicit reactions

00:27 from others.

00:28 But it's not just actors and musicians, also people in the business world as well.

00:33 First up we look at Kim Kardashian.

00:34 Kim Kardashian is a widely recognized reality TV star and businesswoman, and she has faced

00:41 accusations of narcissism from both her fans as well as critics since her rise to fame

00:46 in the early-mid 2000s.

00:49 And these claims intensified when she published a book of her own, Selfies, titled Selfish.

00:56 Fans lined up in New York City on Tuesday for the release of Kim Kardashian West's

01:01 selfie book, Selfish.

01:03 While not fitting every aspect of the label, Kim Kardashian does exhibit certain narcissistic

01:08 traits.

01:09 She openly values her appearance and seeks attention and admiration.

01:13 However, she also displays empathy towards her family and friends, and this demonstrates

01:19 that she shares common fears and insecurities with many other people.

01:32 Next up we got to take a look at Steve Jobs.

01:34 Steve Jobs is the late co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc., and he's widely regarded as

01:39 one of history's most influential inventors.

01:42 However, he exhibited clear signs of narcissistic personality disorder during his lifetime.

01:50 Steve Jobs often mistreated and manipulated people who worked for him as well as people

01:55 who worked with him, and he displayed a manipulative nature to achieve his goals regardless of

02:00 the consequences.

02:09 He prioritized his own sense of importance and he constantly sought admiration for his

02:16 brilliance.

02:17 Steve Jobs is also known for his simple attire as well as his solitary product launches,

02:24 where he made himself the focal point and never really invited people up from the team

02:29 at Apple to be with him on stage.

02:33 Either way, this behavior, typical of successful business leaders, suggests that he likely

02:39 had narcissistic personality disorder.

02:42 While this trait contributed to his success in the business world, it definitely had a

02:48 major negative impact on his personal life.

02:52 The next celebrity to look at is Madonna.

02:55 Narcissistic personality disorder isn't entirely negative.

02:57 It can have positive aspects.

03:00 People with this trait often possess intense determination, work tirelessly, and do whatever

03:06 it takes to achieve success.

03:08 So when we take a look at the iconic singer Madonna, she exemplifies these characteristics.

03:18 When we look back in the 1980s, Madonna was the most prominent superstar in the entire

03:25 world.

03:26 She influenced fashion, music, and Hollywood, and to some extent, she still has a big impact

03:31 in these industries.

03:33 Her fame and influence align with narcissistic traits, though.

03:37 Madonna openly acknowledges her desire to be the center of attention, and it's evident

03:41 in her bold stage presences as well as her provocative outfits.

03:46 This need for spotlight has played a significant role in maintaining her relevance over the

03:51 years.

03:52 People are still talking about Madonna.

03:53 She still does make headlines.

03:55 I don't think she's going anywhere anytime soon.

03:58 From there, let's take a look at Kanye West.

04:00 He is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, and he displays some

04:06 pretty clear signs of narcissistic personality disorder, as well as other mental health issues.

04:12 His grandiose self-importance is evident, as he once claimed to be incredibly influential

04:18 and relevant.

04:19 He definitely thinks highly of himself, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

04:23 Kanye West has been known to constantly seek admiration, as well as want to be in the spotlight

04:29 and be the center of attention, and he even famously interrupted Taylor Swift at the MTV

04:33 Awards show.

04:35 Recent years have seen his erratic behavior and remarks on social media, as well as his

04:40 outings with his new wife, Bianca Sensori, wearing revealing outfits, just sparking a

04:46 lot of controversy.

04:48 Ending it off now with Elon Musk.

04:51 Elon Musk, of course, is the Tesla founder as well as Twitter's new owner.

04:56 He definitely exhibits some traits of narcissism.

05:00 Often labeled as a visionary and a genius, Elon Musk possesses a massive amount of self-importance

05:06 and has definitely a big dislike for criticism, which shows classic signs of narcissism.

05:13 He tends to over-promise, setting unrealistic deadlines, and his recent acquisition of Twitter

05:19 has led him to seek attention through peculiar tweets.

05:22 Well, Twitter is called X now, but I don't think I can stop saying Twitter.

05:28 X just sounds weird.

05:29 Either way, despite the negative aspects, his narcissistic traits actually fuel his

05:34 relentless pursuit of success.

05:36 Elon Musk has also openly discussed his struggles with depression as well as anxiety, which

05:41 can be linked to narcissistic personality disorder.

05:45 And just like that, we made it to the end looking at the most narcissistic celebrities

05:49 in the entire world.
