Get the Veritas Aequitas mug.Pathological (secondary) narcissism that is induced in adulthood by dysfunctional coping with celebrity, wealth, and fame.
The "victims" - billionaire tycoons, movie stars, renowned authors, politicians, and other authority figures - develop grandiose fantasies, lose their erstwhile ability to empathize, react with rage to slights, both real and imagined and, in general, act like textbook narcissists.
t is likely that ASN is merely an amplification of earlier narcissistic conduct, traits, style, and tendencies.

Indeed, narcissists tend to gravitate to professions and settings which guarantee fame, celebrity, power, and wealth.
