I knew a guy who was the worst kind. His father had made millions buying oil lease land from oil drillers who went bust. The land was premium farmland and the father ended up with half the county. Anyway, the kid was not liked in the community, and was beaten up in his own pub. He was always wearing sunglasses to hide the black eyes. He died owing me about $80.
Of course! Psychologists estimate that narcissism is common - about 1 in 20 people - although degree of severity varies.
Then - the heartland of the most conservative of Republicans is estimated to be about 30-40% of the US population.
Make a subset of those who are both Narcissistic and ultra-loyal Republicans and you still have a very large group - probably clustered in specific areas.
But then try to select only those born into wealth, who have subsequently been successful in acquiring extreme wealth - well, there's only a very few of those. And yes, their behaviour would always be identical to spoiled brats. Too much money can give people the illusion that they can buy or coerce anything - and when they discover that they can't always get their way, they tend to chuck temper tantrums.
