10 Celebrities Who Pollute the Environment the Most

If there’s any vehicle that hurts the environment, it’s a jet plane. And people have been flying jets left, right, and center, especially the powerful and famous of this world. Jets can emit ridiculous amounts of CO2 in a very short time. Basically, every trip these celebrities take on their fancy planes slowly kills the environment.

To put some numbers into perspective, an average car emits around seven metric tonnes of CO2 in a year, while a private jet can reach numbers over 8000 tonnes! Maybe if we ask these celebs nicely, they will stop flying out to buy pizza or throw a party every other day. Probably not, though, but at least you’ll know who to blame. It’s crucial to realize that even though their carbon footprint is but a drop in the bucket, compared to factories, the bucket we live in is not bottomless.

1. Travis Scott – 3,030 tonnes of CO2

The first entry on this list is Kyle Jenner’s partner Travis Scott. This famous musician has been quite busy traveling and accumulated over 3,030 tonnes of CO2 just in 2022.

2. Oprah Winfrey – 3,500 tonnes of CO2

Not surprised to see Oprah Winfrey here. Her frequent jet flights this year, of which there were almost 70, have emitted around 3,500 tonnes of CO2. Do you know how many minutes it takes to fly from Van Nuys to Santa Barbara (both in California, by the way)? Fifteen minutes!

3. Mark Wahlberg – 3,770 tonnes of CO2

The one and only Marky Mark, aka Mark Wahlberg, has made over one hundred flights in his private jet this year. These trips, ranging in duration from 29-minute to several-hour flights, emitted 3,770 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.

4. Kim Kardashian – 4,270 tonnes of CO2

If anyone on this list feels entitled to travel by private jet, it’s Kim K. So far, in 2022, Kim has made 57 flights, with the emissions rounding up to 4,270 tonnes of CO2. Even a short 38-minute flight generates around 3 tonnes of CO2.
