Who lived to be 140 years old?

While several individuals have made widely publicized claims of living to be 140 years old or older, no human being has ever had their age of 140 independently and scientifically verified. The longest documented and verified human lifespan belongs to Jeanne Calment, a Frenchwoman who lived to be 122 years and 164 days old. Claims far exceeding this benchmark are considered myths or unverified longevity claims by the scientific community.
