It's because they can delegate all the grunt work and they really love having people suck up to them.
This IMO is a big part of it.... at mega, we were under a horrible dictator who tried to make life miserable for everybody.... but he thought he was a funny guy...
The thing that he liked a lot was wine... my boss who had to deal with him said he would take a group out to dinner and sometimes buy wine at $1,000 or more per bottle... they would have to decant it, let it breath etc. etc.... but he said it was great wine... I said that the company was paying for it... and he said 'no, he pulls out his own money and pay'....
The guy was in his 70s and had retired twice before (forced... he was let go after awhile)...
