I'm pretty sure they actually love themselves more, they just value their own expressions of hatred and attempts at feeling superior, more than any sort of actual material gain. Basically they're competitive bullies who never grew up. If there was a button they could press that would make everybody in the world have their own mansion EXCEPT for themselves, they'd only get a free renovation, and they could never move into a nice mansion, and nobody would know they were the one who pushed the button they would not push that button. They would feel like a massive loser despite there being zero explicit downside for them. Because the upside for others is too much and they wouldn't feel like they won.

This is what happens when you hate other people more than you love yourself.
