About This Dataset

Oldest Verified Men in History
The longest lifespans ever authenticated for men, led by Japan's Jiroemon Kimura at 116 years 54 days - the only man in history verified past 116. Ages are shown in decimal years; each man's exact age in years and days appears in the analysis.
✨ AI Insight

Jiroemon Kimura (116y 54d) is the clear outlier and the only verified man ever to exceed 116, sitting roughly half a year above Christian Mortensen (115y 252d) and Emiliano Mercado del Toro (115y 156d). After the top three, the list compresses tightly: five men between Juan Vicente Pérez (114y 311d) and Joan Riudavets (114y 81d) are all separated by less than a year, showing how sharply male survival curves flatten past 114. The geography is strikingly diverse - Japan, the USA, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Spain all appear - unlike the female record list dominated by Japan and Europe. Notably, the oldest man ever still falls six years short of Jeanne Calment's overall human record of 122.
