The tallest person ever, was American Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 - July 15, 1940) who grew to a height of 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72m).

Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk did briefly hold the title as world's tallest person in 2008-09, but lost official recognition after refusing to allow his height to be verified independently, according to the "Ukrainian Book of Records" his height is 8 ft 4 in.

The doctor originally credited by the Guinness Book of Records with confirming Stadnyk's height has denied ever measuring him.

Sultan Kösen (born 10 December 1982, in Mardin, Turkey) is, at 8 ft 1in (2.47m) currently officially listed as world's tallest person.
