It does seem an awful lot like the same old narcissism that probably played a big role in the harassment and maybe even the drive toward entrepreneurship and investing in the first place. They're all just different faces of the same thing. Business narcissism is a matter of making much of one's own achievements. Sexual narcissism is a matter of making much of one's prowess/attractiveness (and being tone-deaf to what, to everyone else, would be obvious signs of disinterest on the part of the other party). Narcissism in disgrace is a matter of making much of one's own mistakes, and one's own suffering.
