luxury goods company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton‘s LVMUY Bernard Arnault sold his private jet to stop Twitter accounts from tracking his travels.
What happened: I’m sick of Twitterverse following every move of Arnault about his private plane, the second richest person in the world on Monday on French radio station Radio Classique said LVMH sold its private jet, reported Bloomberg.
“Indeed, with all these stories, the group had a plane and we sold it,” Arnault said on LVMH-owned radio station. “The result now is that when I use private planes, no one can see where I’m going because I’m chartering planes,” he added.

This comes after Arnault’s private jet became a hot topic in France over the summer, when many lawmakers proposed banning or taxing privately owned planes.
“It’s time to ban private jets” Julien Bayouthe Federal Secretary of the Greenssaid in August reported financial times. “It is the action that would penalize the smallest number of people for the largest and most immediate impact in favor of the climate.”
Some Twitter users also followed the French billionaire’s flights, including two top accounts – I fly Bernhard and Bernard’s plane. The two accounts created in the past six months have a combined total of almost 100,000 followers.
One of the Twitter accounts lamented the fact that the LVMH jet was no longer registered in France. “Still no word from Bernard Arnault or LVMH on the subject of private jets,” wrote Bernard’s Airplane on September 10. “So, Bernard, are you hiding?”
