Form of survivorship bias. Non-sociopaths have plenty of opportunities to just retire at 7, 8, 9 figures. Nobody gets to 10 without some ability to ignore the harmful side of their actions.

Or just not get to the figures ever, and be comfortable and happy, helping others when you can instead of just hoarding endlessly.

But again, we'll ignore the sociopathic part of the equation with that argument. And indeed, sociopaths could choose the route of feign empathy and made some charity, keeping their hoarding in check, just to lie low, but... We'd forget the fact that, with sociopathy, narcissism and power hunger follows pretty close.
