World's tallest man of human | tallest man in worldwide | biggest man |top 6 tallest human in the world. 

People come in all shapes and sizes, but with more than 7 billion people on earth, there’s a lot of room for some exceptional sizes and there are some real life giants alive to prove it.

But just think how difficult daily life must be for someone that big.

Ready to hear about the lives of the largest people on earth? Let’s get it on!

Where better to start than with the world’s tallest living man?

1. Sultan Kosen is one of only 6 people in all of human history that is taller than 8 foot

tall - in fact, he’s so tall he was deemed too tall to play basketball!

He also holds the world record for largest hands on a living person - in case you’re wondering, they’re 11.22 inches.

He seemed to take a light-hearted outlook on his height, saying how useful it was whenever, he had to help his mom change a lightbulb, but the truth is, it nearly killed him.

Luckily, being named the tallest man alive made him famous enough to get the life saving,revolutionary gamma-knife surgery he needed - the surgeons offered to operate free of charge on the tumour that was causing his pituitary gland to continually release growth hormone, finally stopping his body at a height of 8 foot 1.

2. He has now traded in farming for an acting career, and fulfilled his dream of getting married - so this tall tale has a happy ending.

Bodybuilders are always intimidating, but Oliver Richters a.k.a The Dutch Giant, takes that to a whole new level with his towering 7 foot 2 height.

He’s the world’s tallest bodybuilder and at 330 pounds, he really is an imposing figure.

His size isn’t news to him though - he was big even as a baby when doctors couldn’t fit him into the incubator as a newborn, and he was already over 6 foot 5 at the age of 14.

But at that time, he was slender and skinny.

Then he started going to the gym and switched to a strict diet of 6400 calories a day, including 450 grams of protein, and that’s how he became what he is today.

You would think he would be happy with his size now - after all, he said he felt like walking skeleton as a teenager, but he says that there’s still room for improvement despite his impressive physique.

3.The last place you want to come face to face with a giant is in the wrestling ring - unfortunately for WWE wrestler’s, that’s where you’re likely to meet Dalip Singh Rana, a.k.a The Great Khali.

This Indian-born man was almost destined to be a great wrestler - he towers over everyone at a ginormous 7 foot 3, and backs up his height with a weight of 420 pounds.

He’s so strong that back in the day before he became a famous wrestler, when he was working as a labourer building roads and breaking rocks, women in his village used to call on him to lift cattle over fences as an easy way to move them to a different paddock.

That’s definitely impressive, but he’s come a long way since then.

He’s moved into acting since he gained fame in WWE, starring in Get Smart with Steve Carell and now being offered roles in big Bollywood movies, so hopefully he’ll be able to buy a car he can comfortably fit in soon.

4.To us comparatively short people, a double bed being a problematic size isn’t something. 

we think about, but Paul Sturgess has been sleeping diagonally in his bed to try and fit all his life.

He’s the UK’s tallest man and he’s over 7 foot 7, so it took someone finally making him a custom 8 foot bed in 2018 for him to finally have a good night’s sleep on a piece of furniture that fits him.

5.Being the UK’s tallest man isn’t Paul’s only claim to fame though - he also might be the world’s tallest basketball player - his size 18 shoes have graced the courts with the Harlem Globetrotters no less!

As we’ve learnt though, keeping fit at that height is no easy feat - he eats a shocking 7,000 calories a day!

But at least he doesn’t have to worry about the bed anymore.

6.The tallest man in America has a pretty interesting story to tell about how he got there.

Igor Vovkovinskiy was born in Ukraine but was brought to America at the age of 7 because his parents were worried about his height - at that young age, he was already 5 foot 4.
