    I wonder what hurts the guy more, that he was forced to overpay for this dumpster fire, or that everyone can point at him as the reason for the site’s failure.

      With narcissists like this I think it’s safe to assume they don’t really factor in what people think of them. At the end of the day he won’t own up to being a failure.

      Losing the cash likely hurts more. As much as it can when you’re that ungodly rich.

          That’s insecurity. Narcissism is many things, but a big part is oneself focusing on oneself. If others think poorly of the narcissist, those people are simply ignored for being wrong/stupid. Narcissists are brazenly selfish, vain, self-centred, etc. and don’t care what others think unless it’s praising, in their interests at the time, or negativity toward them is very popular.

          Ah, looks like you’re right.

          “A personality disorder characterized by self-preoccupation, need for admiration, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem”

          Is it sociopathy? Whatever disorder that allows someone to become a billionaire.

            Why does it need to be a disorder? Being a selfish greedy asshole is not a disorder. It can be a result of some disorders, but it doesn’t have to be.
