List of the verified oldest men
This is a list of the 100 verified oldest men, arranged in descending order of each individual's age in years and days. A year typically refers to a calendar year, the time between two dates of the same name. However, years can be of different lengths due to the presence or absence of a leap day within the year, or to the conversion of dates from one calendar to another. The oldest man ever whose age has been verified is Jiroemon Kimura (1897–2013) of Japan who died at age 116 years, 54 days. There are six living people on this list, the oldest of whom is Francisco Núñez Olivera, aged 112 years, 243 days.
Since all the men on this list have lived to at least the age of 110, all of them are supercentenarians.
