I'll echo others that saying that adding this all together doesn't amount to much. They would still travel a lot (probably first class) so making them use airliners would amount to some savings, but not necessarily as much.
In an alternate reality where private jet ownership was outlawed, they would just charter flights. Or, if only jets were forbidden, they would take (far more efficient) turboprops.
This kind of thing also shifts the conversation from where we should be looking at. Industry is where most emissions come from. That includes farming.
However, it's a bit hypocritical when some of those that are flying on private jets for trivial reasons ask normal citizens to change their thermostats and bike commute. Sure, some plane trips may be unavoidable, but other than that they they should be sharing public transportation with everyone else, at the very least.
