Kenneth Lee Lay
American businessman diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder. In 1999 Lay was ranked America’s highest paid CEO’s earning around $42.4 million while working at Enron Corp. Along with running the company, Lay also lead a corruption scandal that eventually lead to the downfall of the Enron Corporation which involved corporate abuse and accounting fraud. Lay lived a seemingly normal life and showed multiple signs of APD that became apparent as the scandal unfolded. Lay had used his superficial charm and intelligence to reach the top of Enron. The demise of the cooperation can be explained through the characteristics of APD. Lay lacked empathy and a sense of personal responsibility for the well-being of the company and its employees therefore exhibited no remorse when his fraudulent actions and deceitful ways caused the company’s downfall. Lay was married to his second wife and had two children before his death in July 2006. An individual such as Lay exhibits how it is not abnormal for an individual with APD to achieve great success and be involved in close relationships despite having APD.
Joey Barton
Joey Barton A famous soccer player in Manchester City, England. It is not confirmed he has APD but there are many who suspect he does due to his erratic and selfish behavior that have led to criminal activity. Some of this criminal activity includes, “He poked a cigar into the eye of teammate Jamie Tandy after allegedly being provoked by Tandy. Barton was fined six weeks wages” (“Joey Barton”). He also exhibits antisocial behavior with no regret or shame in his, “ decision in January 2006 to hand in a transfer request earning him criticism from the club's fans and Stuart Pearce” (“Joey Barton”). Barton Does not show any remorse or personal responsibility when it comes to his actions on and off the field. It is difficult to be 100% positive any individual has APD unless they are court-mandated to seek help for their disorder or speak out in admittance to having the disorder which is rare. It is also difficult because people with APD often deny or lie about having symptoms (Tartakovsky). Therefore, it is common for an individual to have APD and either be unaware of it or not seek treatment for the disorder. We may be wrong in this assumption that Barton has APD, however, he exhibits many signs and characteristics of the disorder.
