A picture taken on Jan. 27, 2019 shows the French President’s Dassault Falcon 7X plane arriving on the tarmac at Abu Simbel Airport, south of Aswan in Upper Egypt.
However, instead of focusing on the flight routes, the new jet tracker checks the CO2 emissions of their luxurious flights.
Akash Shendure, a 17-year-old Seattle resident, was the one behind the new website called Climate Jets. He explained that his website uses Jack Sweeney’s Ground Control Registration Database to track wealthy individuals.

He was able to get the data he needed after telling the company he would use it for academic purposes. “They sent it to me, which was really nice of them,” Shendure said.
Thankfully, the tech-savvy boy wasn’t billed for the requested data. At press time, Akash is believed to be the youngest person to make billionaire private jet spending publicly available.
Its website is quite easy to use. All you have to do is search for Climate Jets. Once there, you’ll see a long list of billionaires and their private jets’ CO2 emissions.
Clicking on each one of them reveals more specific details such as: B. Flights operated, type of kerosene used, CO2 emissions, etc.

Climate Jets list shows the following billionaires whose private jets emit the most carbon:
- Thomas Siebel (more than 4,600 tons per year)

- DeVos family (more than 4,100 tons per year)
- Sam Zell (more than 4,000 tons per year)

Of course, many will wonder how high the CO2 emissions of Elon Musk’s private jet are.
