Let me get this right: your argument is that she needs the private jets because she has a large entourage and likes to take her cats with her?
Mainly the cat thing yes.
The argument is "if the plane is full of people it's different than a CEO going for a joyride alone or with his wife only".
Full of people... Who only need to be there because of her.
This is like arguing it's more efficient to put wheels on your house and drive it to work every day
Do you have a car? Have you ever visited relatives / gone on vacation by flying? Her job takes her around the world with a group. She doesn't have to go there by horse carriage.
Comparing a car to a private jet regardless of passenger count is disingenuous in the extreme
That doesn't seem like a relevant difference. She chose to bring the entourage and the cats. If the CEO chooses to bring some friends along are we cool with his carbon footprint all of a sudden?
She performs with the entourage. She needs the roadies, the dancers etc. If a CEO brought their workers for a job, then yeah, I'm cool with his "carbon footprint".
