This song is about a celebrity with a bloated ego, suggested by the title, and the chorus. Everybody loves him, and he's constantly getting barraged by adoring fans and 'flashes in his face'. He takes lovers, then throws them away. (With the lovers that'll hate you).
He's getting past his prime, so he's getting older, and he acknowledges that, but doesn't acknowledge the consequences, that hi good look will fade, and since he's done nothing to help others, he will no longer be so famous. (Don't need my health, got my name and got my wealth.)
(Just for kicks, all by myself) suggests he's alone, and he doesn't want to admit that nobody wants to be with him, so it's 'just for kicks'.
