That means they feel self important and extremely tough lol
Or they could be actual important people but if they’re just saying it like that doubt it tbh.

No everyones saying that the guy runs the town from his friends, the cops , even random people in town. Allegedly stabs someone in the middle of town does'nt get charged, allegedy the biggest dealer in town and half the town is inlove with him. Also seems like he always naturally becomes leader.
The first thing that happened a few years ago in bars everyone was his friend people, would abuse their power for him like free drinks and girls were competiting for him offering him threesomes... now its happening througout the whole town...

It usually means that they own businesses, properties and they have a lot of connections around town.
They can get you a job anywhere or make sure you don't get a job anywhere because of who they know and do business with.

True well there's this guy I know half the town is in love with him, gets into a fight allegedly stabs someone in the middle of town then doesn't get charged, rumored to be the biggest dealer in town and appears to always be leader... Is that what it means?

Sounds like maybe he might be connected to people run that town.
People maybe don't mess with him because of who he knows and the possible consequences.
