He's certainly rich enough to afford an ivory tower at this point. Regardless of how big a dick he wants to act like, he's still guaranteed to keep raking in money.

Re: Lucas Bans David Prowse (Darth Vader) From Conventions
It's still a common term. The best Napoleonic complex story I've ever heard was from an old psych professor of mine. When he was a practicing psychologist, he had a delusional psychotic who believed himself to be Napoleon; he paired the patient with another man who had the same delusion. The two patients were left alone for a bit to hopefully show them that they both obviously couldn't be Napoleon. The doc later found them walking down the hallway, one of them two steps behind and to the left of the other. When the trailing man was questioned as to the reason for his position, he answered, "I am Marshal Ney."

You would be Marshal Soult, I presume?
