How old was the oldest person ever to have lived? #shorts #worldrecords
Jeanne Calment from France holds the record for being the oldest person ever to have lived. She died in 1997 at the age of 122 years and 164 days. Born in 1875, she lived through two world wars and met Vincent Van Gogh as a child. She attributed her longevity to olive oil, chocolate, and port wine. Calment continued to ride a bicycle until she was 100 years old and only quit smoking at 117 years old. She lived in her own apartment until she was 110 and then moved to a nursing home. Her age at death is not only a world record but also a record that is unlikely to be broken anytime soon.
