Evan Spiegel touches down at Le Bourget during Paris fashion and tech week

Evan Spiegel arrived at Paris–Le Bourget on 5 June aboard a Boeing 737 MAX 8 BBJ (tail N3E), completing a 10.5-hour transatlantic hop from Los Angeles. The jet burned an estimated 5,400 gallons of fuel and emitted roughly 61 metric tons of CO₂ over the 5,700-nautical-mile leg, per ADS-B data aggregated by celebplanes.

The same week, Paris hosts the annual Viva Technology conference at Porte de Versailles, where Spiegel is listed as a keynote speaker alongside other tech executives — a natural fit for a CEO whose company has staked its future on augmented reality and AI. Separately, his wife Miranda Kerr is in the city for scheduled editorial commitments ahead of couture week; the couple own an apartment in the 7th arrondissement, giving the trip a dual business-and-family logic.

Spiegel, whose net worth has slid from $13.8 billion in 2021 to $2.5 billion as of last year according to Forbes, has logged few long-haul departures from Santa Monica in recent months. This Paris run is his first European visit since a private trip to London in March. The pattern suggests a deliberate recalibration — face-time with European investors and partners at VivaTech as Snap looks to reignite ad revenue growth outside North America.
