Jeff Bezos has splashed out a cool $80 million for a new Gulfstream G700 - his fourth private jet. Although there are other planes in his hanger, the G700 is not just another toy. The luxury business jet is manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace and is considered one of the largest and most advanced private jets in the world, capable of flying at just a fraction under the speed of sound at Mach 0.925.
The new jet is sure to upset carbon-watchers who recently revealed that Bezos’ plane made 28 flights in 39 days — leaving a carbon footprint of 264 tons, or 17 times what his average countrymen emits in a year. The news of Jeff's carbon footprint was revealed by Jack Sweeney, the college student who has previously raised the ire of celebs like Taylor Swift and Elon Musk by publicising their flight details. The same thorn in their side also posted details about the new G700.
