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.
