List of the verified oldest people

This article is about specific supercentenarian claims validated by modern standards. For the oldest currently living people, see List of oldest living people.

These are lists of the 100 known verified oldest women and men sorted in descending order by age in years and days.^[a]

The oldest person ever whose age has been independently verified is Jeanne Calment (1875–1997) of France, who lived to the age of 122 years and 164 days.^[b] The oldest verified man ever is Jiroemon Kimura (1897–2013) of Japan, who lived to the age of 116 years and 54 days.

The oldest known living person is Tomiko Itooka of Japan, aged 116 years, 188 days.^[5] The oldest known living man is João Marinho Neto of Brazil, aged 112 years, 53 days.^[6] The 100 oldest women have, on average, lived several years longer than the 100 oldest men.
