ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 30
Synonyms like "egoistic", "egocentric", "self-centered" "self-loving", etc, are no stronger than selfish. I would use an adverb before "selfish" lest its exact meaning be changed. "Egocentric" and "self-centered" are not exactly the same as selfish.
He is extremely/incredibly/profoundly/exceptionally/monstrously/etc selfish.
