Superyachts, private jets and financial investments of 12 of the world’s wealthiest people are accountable for generating annual energy emissions equivalent to 2.1 million homes, according to a report by Oxfam and two US researchers.
The substantial carbon footprint comes from a dozen individuals, including Tesla and X owner Elon Musk, Amazon funder Jeff Bezos, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and Mexican investor Carlos Slim, said the report.
