In the past two days alone, Mark Zuckerberg's $68 million private jet has flown so much that it has burned 7,254 gallons of jet fuel and released 70 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. The Meta CEO has been shuttling between California and his Hawaii estate.

Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg is on a roll, leveraging his multi-million-dollar assets, from the superyacht Launchpad and support vessel Wingman to his $68 million Gulfstream G650ER private jet. The 40-year-old may have banned jet-tracking activities on his platforms, but he hasn’t escaped scrutiny on Twitter rival Bluesky. A tracker monitoring Zuckerberg’s jet has revealed multiple trips between Hawaii and California. Whether for business or overseeing the construction of his eccentric Hawaiian home, the Facebook founder, or his family, uses the jet with the frequency most reserve for their cars.

In just two days, Zuckerberg’s G650ER flew from Monterey, California, to Lihue, Hawaii, consuming 2,328 gallons (8,813 liters) of fuel and emitting 25 tons of CO2. Hours later, it made a return trip to California before heading back to Lihue after a five-hour flight. The jet’s back-to-back journeys emitted nearly 70 tons of CO2 in total, which is equivalent to 15 years of driving for a single car.

The Gulfstream G650ER is the preferred choice for billionaires across the world.

While Zuckerberg’s rise, becoming the youngest member of the $200 billion club, seems unstoppable, his jet-setting lifestyle hasn’t evaded public scrutiny. Despite suspending Instagram accounts and Threads pages tracking private jets owned by himself, Elon Musk, and celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Kylie Jenner, these efforts appear futile. New trackers have emerged, continuing to monitor the movements of his Gulfstream and others.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg’s superyachts are also under the microscope. The $300 million Launchpad and $30 million Wingman are reportedly making a transatlantic journey from French Polynesia to Florida. As his ballooning net worth matches his carbon footprint, the tech mogul recently acquired two state-of-the-art superyachts, coinciding with his 40th birthday. He’s opted for machines like the G650ER, renowned for a 7,500 NM range and fuel efficiency. Yet, frequent use risks negating these environmental advantages.

Perhaps more efficient trip planning could curb the environmental impact, such as staying in one location longer rather than making round trips. However, for centibillionaires like Zuckerberg, time is money. With a net worth of $200 billion, the Meta boss earns approximately $400,000 per minute.
