You won’t believe how much CO2 Kim Kardashian’s private jet to Bezos’ wedding party racks up
That's an unreal amount
Kim Kardashian is reportedly flying out to Jeff Bezos’ wedding party by private jet, naturally. The mom of four is renowned for taking her trips in luxury, but it’s seemingly coming at a cost. Not only is Kim forking a whole lot of cash to zip around the globe on her own terms, but the environment is probably taking quite the hit. Her sister, Kylie Jenner, is also reportedly taking a private jet to attend the chaotic Venice event.
Kim Kardashian fired up her private jet
So, apparently, Kim has fired up her private jet, a Gulfstream G650ER, to fly over to Europe for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding party.
According to the Italian publication, Corriere, Kim flew in from Van Nuys airport, near Los Angeles.
The whole journey would have taken around 12 to 15 hours in total – she is covering over 6,000 miles, after all.
Per MyClimate, an emissions calculator, Kim’s trip would emit around 10.1 tonnes of CO2.
However, a Reddit user speculated it would rack up much more in emissions, writing: “The flight will use about 5,5 gallons of jet fuel and emit 50 metric tons of carbon dioxide.”
Kim is not the only celebrity flying across the globe for the big event. Oprah, Bill Gates, and Lachlan Murdoch are also listed as guests.
Apparently, “a fully loaded G650ER flight can emit about 4.5 times more CO2 per passenger than a Boeing 737,” per Pro Publica.
Kylie also flew in – but from Europe
Kim’s younger sister, Kylie, is also reported to be firing up her private jet to attend Jeff and Lauren’s wedding party.
Kylie’s journey is much shorter, as she’s said to have flown in from Budapest, Hungary.
While GlobeAir suggested Kim’s private jet is worth $150 million, Kylie’s was bought for a little less at almost $73 million.
Kylie owns a Bombardier Global 7500. MyClimate suggests Kylie’s trip, which covers 600km, would create 0.289 tonnes of CO2.
