Top 50 celebrity jet emitters, 2026

Ranked from public ADS-B flight records. 50 of the 50 owners below are ranked on real flight hours we tracked. The rest use a 200-hour yearly industry baseline and carry an est. tag. Together they put out about 78,277 tonnes of CO₂ a year. That is roughly the carbon footprint of 19,569 U.S. households. The FAQ below explains the method.

How the 2026 celebrity jet emissions ranking works

How is the celebrity jet emissions ranking calculated?

When we have tracked flight hours for an owner in the year, we use them. We multiply those hours by the jet model's fuel burn in gallons per hour, then by about 9.6 kg of CO₂ per gallon of Jet-A fuel. Owners with no tracked flights yet get a 200-hour yearly baseline and an "Est." tag. Rows with real data always rank above estimates. That way the list shows who actually flies the most, not who owns the biggest fleet on paper.

Why is one entry marked "Est." and another not?

An "Est." row uses the 200-hour baseline because we have not logged a finished flight for that owner in the year yet. Once one of their tracked flights lands, the row switches to real hours and the tag goes away. Industry surveys from NBAA, JSSI and Bombardier put typical private jet use at 150 to 300 hours a year, and 200 is a widely cited middle figure.

Where does the underlying data come from?

Flight tracking comes from public ADS-B feeds: adsb.lol, with ADSB.fi as a backup. We confirm ownership from FAA registration records and other national registries. Our methodology page at celebplanes.com/methodology has the full sourcing.
