7. Tallest Man In The World
Most of you may have heard of the world’s tallest man, Sultan Kosen, aged 33. The Turkish farmer is measured at a staggering 250 centimeters (8 ft), making him sure that he stands out of the crowd.
Sultan Kosen was given the “Guinness World Record” award for being the tallest male alive. This was due to a tumor that affected his pituitary gland, responsible for controlling height. This flaw did not only give him a few extra feet, but also fame and recognition around the world because of his abnormal height.
Kosen has gotten surgery since then in order to fix his problem, and his growth stopped. He is now a healthy man which is very proud of his title due to all the attention he’s got for his unusual height.
