Some narcissists are ostentatiously generous they donate to charity, lavish gifts on their closest, abundantly provide for their nearest and dearest, and, in general, are openhanded and unstintingly benevolent. How can this be reconciled with the pronounced lack of empathy and with the pernicious selfpreoccupation that is so typical of narcissists? The act of giving enhances the narcissist's sense of omnipotence, his fantastic grandiosity, and the contempt he holds for others. It is easy to feel superior to the supplicating recipients of one's largesse. Narcissistic altruism is about exerting control and maintaining it by fostering dependence in the beneficiaries.
