Not necessarily, but: people with narcissistic personality disorders who need constant reassurance of their worth and a desire for power and wealth may be attracted to the profession. The combination of narcissism and sociopathic personality disorder is particularly lethal for political leaders. There are many other professions which may attract them, i.e., finance, television and movies to name a few.
