Bernard Arnault Flies Below Twitter Radar After Private Jet Sale

The world’s second-richest man has had enough of the Twitterverse tracking his every move in his private plane. 

Bernard Arnault’s luxury-goods company LVMH sold its private jet, he said Monday on Radio Classique. Accounts such as I Fly Bernard and Bernard’s Airplane had sprung up on Twitter to track the planes of French billionaires and to point out the pollution they cause. The subject became a hot topic in France over the summer, with some politicians proposing to ban or tax private jets.
