The linked article appears to describe the behavior of a classic textbook malignant narcissist -- I mean either the author of the piece, or his subject, falls into that category. Maybe both.
Because without doing independent research, a reader must accept the possibility that the story is wildly exaggerated, which is the sign of a narcissistic journalist.
If the subject is a narcissist, his description of himself may be wildly exaggerated, which is what the article reports.
If the writer is a narcissist, his description of his subject may be wildly exaggerated.
And yes, there are plenty of stories of narcissistic journalists, some eventually exposed as frauds who make up their copy.
The really interesting cases are those in which both the writer and his subject are narcissists.
