He's a high profile advocate of environmental causes, believes the world must act now to combat the effects of global climate change and is producing documentaries about endangered species.

But accusations of hypocrisy have also dogged Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, 40, with detractors accusing him of not practicing what he preaches.

Now with RadarOnline reporting Friday that he took six private jet flights in just six weeks last year, it may prove hard for the actor to justify the need to avail himself of more than $200,000 worth of private travel between LA and New York in such a short period of time.

Wikileaks published the complete Sony leak including a searchable database for the 173,132 emails and 30,287 separate documents taken from the studio's servers last November.

It's been claimed the hack was a warning to the studio not to release the film The Interview, about an assassination attempt on North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.

RadarOnline said that several documents relating to Sony corporate travel records show the Titanic and Wolf Of Wall Street star took six private roundtrip private jet flights during April and May 2014.

Each time the studio picked up the cost of the plane as well as catering and car service at the departure and arrival destinations.

The day before Wikileaks published the collection of hacked documents, DiCaprio tweeted that the fourth and final video that he narrated for the Green World Rising website is now online.

Green World Rising is funded through the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation and one of the things it suggests visitors to the website do is 'Lighten your carbon load.'

There's even a handy carbon calculator so people can see just how much their way of life is impacting the planet and therefore can take 'meaningful action' to reduce their carbon footprint, at home, at work and at school.

Grren advocate: The star of Gangs Of New York tweeted Thursday that a fourth short film produced by his foundation is available at Greenworldrising. org, a website that urges people to reduce their carbon footprint

Fly with me: The playboy actor, 40, took then-girlfriend model Toni Garrn along with him on some of the work trips, listed in the hacked Sony documents, that were paid for by the studio

According to the documents listed on the Sony hack database, 0n April 17, 2014, DiCaprio flew from Los Angeles to New York at a cost of $63,000 for a filmmaker’s meeting that, it was noted, could only be done in person.

His then-girlfriend Toni Garrn was listed as accompanying him on the private jet..

On April 27, they flew back to Los Angeles at a cost of $63,000, plus $3,000 in catering and $300 in car service on each end.

On that trip and other work trips paid for by Sony, DiCaprio was also accompanied by male friends who were members of his infamous 'pussy posse' in the late 1990s.

They included actors Lukas Haas, Scott Bloom and Vincent Laresca,

Posse on board: DiCaprio has also taken his best friends like actor Lukas Haas, seen here with the star in 2013, along on the private jet rides, the Wikileaks searchable database has revealed

Just six days after returning from New York, DiCaprio was back on board a private jet heading back to the Big Apple for another meeting at a cost of $37,306.60, plus $1,506.60 in catering and $800 in car service.

He flew back to Los Angeles on May 31, according to the documents, at a cost of $55,000. His mother Irmelin DiCaprio was also listed as being expected to travel with him..

Travel records also state that he was then booked on a round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. He stayed in Sin City for just eight hours before flying home again. The projected cost of that round-trip flight was $12,000.

Ironically, four months later, the actor was back in New York to accept a Clinton Global Citizen Award for his environmental preservation efforts.

In his acceptance speech, DiCaprio stressed that more needed to be done.

'Now what does that say about us that we care so deeply about growing our own economy and yet do so little to protect our only home?' he said at the event on September 22, 2014.

DailyMail.com reached out to DiCaprio's people regarding the latest revelations but so far there's been no public comment from the star or his representatives.
