narcissistic, megalomaniacal

That actually got me thinking. Are all megalomaniacs also narcissistic?

While often used interchangeably with narcissism, a megalomaniac specifically seeks power and fear rather than just charm or admiration.

Logically speaking, no

There by definition must exist at least some megalomaniacs that are not narcissistic

That's Illuminati territory, wanting to rule the world but not wanting any attention. I think a bunch of those working on finance also qualify.

I'm the best in the world at not being narcissistic, and, i mean, a real thought leader in this space! I know everything there is to know about not being a narcissist!

I don't know. Reading the wiki on NPD, it feels like megalomania is an extreme version of the grandiose subtype of NPD. Maybe with some flavour of sociopathy added.
