It is regrettably quite common. In slang, it is referred to as a Messiah Complex, but it's really just a form of schizophrenia.
Here's one:
The Cotard Delusion.
'The Cotard delusion is a rare psychiatric disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that he or she is dead, does not exist, is putrefying or has lost their blood or internal organs. Rarely, it can include delusions of immortality.'

I think the other person may have misenterpreted the question. Idk for sure but probably some type of sociopathic disorder. Type in on google "god complex"
I would call that Megalomania
Megalomania is a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or greatness.
