If his influence wasn't so great this would be laughable, it's certainly hypocritical.
Bill Gates has multiple homes and owns private jets, but he also drives an electric vehicle and uses solar panels to offset his carbon footprint. Here are the key details:

BILL GATE HOMES
- Gates owns a massive 66,000-square-foot mansion in Medina, Washington called Xanadu 2.0. It is an eco-friendly home with features like a $1 million pool and a trampoline room.[1]
- He also owns several other luxury homes, including a $59 million beach house in Del Mar, California, a $43 million ranch in Wyoming, and a $16 million home in Wellington, Florida.[1]

PRIVATE JETS
- Gates has been open about owning and frequently using private jets, calling it a "guilty pleasure".[1][4]
- He reportedly owns four private jets, a seaplane, and a helicopter, though the exact number is unconfirmed.[1]
- Gates defends his private jet usage by investing billions into climate initiatives like direct air capture technology through companies like Climeworks to offset his emissions.[1][2][4]

ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND SOLAR
- Gates drives an electric car, though the specific model is not mentioned.[1]
- His main Medina home uses solar panels as an alternative energy source.[1]
- However, he admits his personal greenhouse gas footprint is still "gigantic" despite these efforts.[1]

In summary, while Gates preaches about climate change and advocates for reducing emissions, he maintains an extremely high carbon footprint lifestyle with multiple mansions and frequent private jet travel, offsetting it through investments in carbon capture technology and some personal use of renewable energy sources.[1][2][4]

Perhaps keeping cattle from expelling gas will make up for his lack of contributions to emissions -NOT!
