Marc Benioff: 63k Miles in 60 Days
Salesforce is joining other tech giants by laying off 8,000 people from its workforce.
At the helm of Salesforce is Marc Benioff. Benioff owns a 2019 Gulfstream G650 - N650HA - that travels frequently between the Bay Area, CA and Hawaii. Sometimes further travel to the South Pacific. A rough ballpark estimation for the below flights is in the neighborhood of $810,000/54,000 gallons of jet fuel. Was Marc definitively on each of these flights? Nobody knows the answer to that question. If you want to track Marc's plane yourself, feel free to install the RadarAtlas chrome extension, navigate to globe.adsbexchange.com, and simply click on the "Tech Billionaires" filter button on the right side of the screen.
