Kim Kardashian to Oprah Winfrey – these celebs have the highest carbon footprint in the world

SUMMARY

Louis Vuitton boss Bernard Arnault, the world's third-richest man according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index, sold his private jet after accounts like ‘I Fly Bernard’ and ‘Bernard’s Airplane’ emerged on Twitter tracking his flights to show the pollution caused by him, Bloomberg reported, quoting France's Radio Classique. But Arnault is not the only celebrity harangued on Twitter for his consistent use of private jets amid the climate emergency. Accounts such as Celebrity Jets have used transponder signals on aeroplanes and publicly accessible information to track the use of private jets by celebrities to reveal the amount of wasteful flying time used by the world’s wealthiest. An American programmer Jack Sweeney runs around 30 accounts that track the flights of SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg and others, news agency AFP reported. Here is a list of celebs with the highest carbon footprint this year.
