List of oldest living people
Appearance
This is a partial list of the validated oldest living people in the world, according to reliable sources. All the people included in this list are supercentenarians (at least 110 years old). The true number of living supercentenarians has been estimated at 150[1] and 600.[2] The actual number of living supercentenarians is uncertain because not all supercentenarians are known to researchers and also because some supercententarian claims are unproven.[1]
On 17 June 2015, American woman Susannah Mushatt Jones who is 125 years, 35 days[3] became the world's oldest living person.
