A picture taken on January 27, 2019, shows the French Presidential's Dassault Falcon 7X plane, arriving on the tarmac of Abu Simbel airport, south of Aswan in upper Egypt.
However, instead of focusing on the flight routes, the new jet tracker checks the carbon 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 rich individuals.

He was able to receive the needed data after telling the company that he will use it for academic purposes. "They sent it to me, which was really nice of them," said Shendure.
Luckily, the tech-savvy kid was not charged for the data he asked for. As of press time, Akash is considered to be the latest individual to publicly provide billionaires' private jet expenditures.
His website is quite easy to use. All you need to do is search for Climate Jets. Once you are there, you will see a long list of billionaires and their private jets' carbon emissions.
Clicking each one of them will provide more specific details, such as flights taken, type of jet fuel used, carbon emissions, etc.
Billionaires on the Top List
Climate Jets' list shows the following billionaires whose private jets emit the most carbon dioxide:
- Thomas Siebel (more than 4,600 metric tons each year)
- Murdoch Family (more than 4,300 metric tons each year)
- DeVos Family (more than 4,100 metric tons each year)
- Sam Zell (more than 4,000 metric tons each year)
- Jared Isaacman (more than 3,800 metric tons each year)
Of course, many people will ask how much carbon emissions Elon Musk's private jet has.
Compared to the mentioned billionaires above, the Tesla CEO is in the middle part since his private jets' year carbon emission is only around 1,700 metric tons.
