Robert Wadlow is in the Guinness World Records to be the "Tallest Man Ever." He was last measured on June 27, 1940 and was 8 ft 11.1 in tall.
Here are some more TALL facts about Mr. Wadlow:
- shoe size was 37AA, they were 18.5 in long
- hands measured 12.75 in, from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger
- ring size was 25
- arm span was 9ft 5.75 in
- consumed 8000 calories a day
And...At the age of nine, he was able to carry his father Harold F. Wadlow, who was once Mayor of Alton, up the stairs of the family home.
He died at the young age of 22 from a septic blister on his right ankle caused by a brace, which had been poorly fitted only a week earlier.
His coffin measured 10 ft 9 in long, 32 in wide and 30 in deep.
