Surprise surprise, celebrities don’t really do budgeting.
In fact, so far this year, these 10 celebrities have racked up more than 1,000 private jet flights between them.
Counting down from 10 to one, these celebrities have used their private jets more than anyone else this year.
And no, Taylor Swift doesn’t top the list.
10. Kim Kardashian (57 flights)
We’re somewhat surprised to find out that Kim is the only member of the Kardashian family to make it to the top 10.
Emitting 4,268 tons since the beginning of the year, Kim has produced more Co2 with her 57 trips than Mark Wahlberg did with his 100+.
Based on that, you would have to assume her private jet is one of the least efficient on the list.
Or just that she was chartering a lot more long-haul flights.
Kim gave us a look inside her $150 million private jet – the Gulfstream G650ER – earlier this year.
And it’s incredible, so it’s no surprise the socialite spends so much time on it.
9. Travis Scott (60 flights)

Wanna hear the crazy part? There are only two rappers on the list and Scott is one of them.
He has used his private jet 60 times since January, emitting 3,003 tons of Co2 in the process.
8. Steven Spielberg (61 flights)
Mr Spielberg is the only director on this list.
He ‘only’ used his jet 61 times but managed to produce more Co2 than most, perhaps because he was scouting filming locations across the globe.
7. Oprah Winfrey (68 flights)
Oprah is one of America’s most popular talk show hosts and has a net worth of 2.5 billion.
So no, she won’t fly commercial.
In 2022 so far, Oprah has used her jet on 68 different occasions, producting 3,493 tons of Co2.
6. Mark Wahlberg (101 flights)
Former rapper turned Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg has used his private jet 101 times since January.
This means, on average, he’s used it more than 14 times each month this year.
It’s understandable, though.
His jet looks comfy.
5. Alex Rodriguez (106 flights)

Alex Rodriguez is a former professional baseball player who now spends his days looking for business deals and investment opportunities.
This probably explains the fact that he’s used his jet 106 times in just seven months.
4. Blake Shelton (111 flights)
Shelton is one of the most successful country singers America has ever seen.
He’s also married to Gwen Stefani, former lead-singer of No Doubt, and she’s often spotted getting out of Shelton’s private jet.
Maybe that helps explain why the plane has been used 111 times since January.
3. Jay-Z (136 flights)
Jay-Z is a rapper but he’s also a media powerhouse and a businessman with a million different interests.
Couple that with his $1+ billion net worth and it’s easy to see why he’s used his jet so often in 2022.
How often? 136 times, producing 6,981 tons of Co2 in the process.
2. Taylor Swift private jet (170 flights)
Taylor Swift tops the list in terms of the amount of Co2 she produced, but only comes second in terms of the number of flights.
This is hard to believe, considering she’s used her jet 170 times for a grand total of 8,293 tons of Co2.
But ‘Taylor Swift private jet’ doesn’t top this list.
1. Floyd Mayweather (177 flights)

Mayweather has already used his private jet 177 times in 2022.
That works out to be more than 25 times a month.
Remember when people complained about Kylie Jenner’s 17-minute flight?
Mayweather can do better: he spends 10 minutes in the air on average.
That means he probably uses his private jet to go from Santa Monica to Hollywood.
And there’s no doubt he’ll take it to his hotly-anticipated rematch against Conor McGregor.
