Yeah, it's also survivorship bias. All the successful psychopaths would make you think that a) you need to be a psychopath to succeed, and b) all psychopaths will succeed. It's wrong on both counts, but we can conclude that c) being a psychopath does not preclude success. It might even be easier to succeed, since capitalism abhors a principle, but I don't have the statistics to support that.
