The tallest living man in the world is Leonid Stadnyk of the Ukraine. He stands 8′ 5 1/2″ but he is still growing and might eclipse the 8′ 11″ record.

Robert Wadlow is lying in a horizontal position (deceased) so he is not currently the tallest man in the world but he just might be the ‘longest person’ in the world, living or dead

Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940), according to the Guinness World Records, is the tallest person in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. He is often known as the “Alton Giant” because of his Alton, Illinois hometown.

Wadlow reached an unprecedented 8 feet 11 inches (2.72 m) in height and weighed 440 pounds (199 kg) at his death. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to a tumor within his pituitary gland. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

Robert Wadlow 8’11”. Height due to pituitary gland. He died because the braces on his legs caused a blister that went untreated and became infected. He was buried in a casket that was around 10 feet long. Thats just nuts lol.

Robert Wadlow holds the Guiness record at 8’11.5″ (and still growing) when he died.

The current living Guiness record holder is Bao Xishun of China. He stands at 7’9″.
