Billionaire Louis Vuitton CEO sells plane after people tracked flights on Twitter

Twitter accounts have recently sprung up to track the plane's movements and estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from each flight.

The world's second-richest person and his company have sold their private plane after people set up Twitter accounts tracking their flights.

Bernard Arnault, the CEO of the LVMH luxury fashion company, reported the sale on a company-branded podcast recently and noted that people had been following where the plane was going.

"The group had a plane and we sold it," Bloomberg reports the fashion executive saying on the show.

"The result now is that no one can see where I go because I rent planes when I use private planes."

These reports come on the heels of renewed criticism toward many celebrities and other members of the ultra-rich surrounding private plane usage and the extraordinary carbon footprint that comes with it.
