No, because the sources of the emission are not included in the graphs. The graph itself shows nothing about yachts or private planes. However, I get your point and am very interested to see a more detailed breakdown of the sources of emission at each level.

    I should have probably specified which graph I was referrign to. The top of the page has a graph of billionare emissions, which are mostly from private planes and yachts. Those probably don't make a significant share of global emissions due to there being few billionares. That does however account for most of their emissions, which are already much larger than average.
