List of the verified oldest men - wikipedia List of the verified oldest men This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( April 2016 ) 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 five living people on this list, the oldest of whom is Francisco Núñez Olivera, aged 7004411870000000000 ♠ 112 years, 279 days. Since all the men on this list have lived to at least the age of 110, all of them are supercentenarians. 100 verified oldest men Deceased Living † ^ denotes age at death, or, if living, age as of 18 September 2017 Rank Name Birth date Death date Age Place of death or residence Jiroemon Kimura 19 April 1897 12 June 2013 116 years, 54 days Japan Christian Mortensen 16 August 1882 25 April 1998 115 years, 252 days United States Emiliano Mercado del Toro 21 August 1891 24 January 2007 115 years, 156 days Puerto Rico Mathew Beard 9 July 1870 16 February 1985 114 years, 222 days United States Walter Breuning 21 September 1896 14 April 2011 114 years, 205 days United States 6 Yukichi Chuganji 23 March 1889 28 September 2003 114 years, 189 days Japan 7 Joan Riudavets 15 December 1889 5 March 2004 114 years, 81 days Spain 8 Fred Hale 1 December 1890 19 November 2004 113 years, 354 days United States 9 Yisrael Kristal 15 September 1903 11 August 2017 113 years, 330 days Israel 10 Johnson Parks 15 October 1884 17 July 1998 113 years, 275 days United States 11 Tomoji Tanabe 18 September 1895 19 June 2009 113 years, 274 days Japan 12 John Ingram McMorran 19 June 1889 24 February 2003 113 years, 250 days United States 13 Frederick Frazier 27 January 1880 14 June 1993 113 years, 138 days United States 14 James Sisnett 22 February 1900 23 May 2013 113 years, 90 days Barbados 15 Walter Richardson 7 November 1885 25 December 1998 113 years, 48 days United States 16 Henry Allingham 6 June 1896 18 July 2009 113 years, 42 days United Kingdom 17 Antonio Todde 22 January 1889 3 January 2002 112 years, 346 days Italy 18 Moses Hardy 6 January 1894 7 December 2006 112 years, 335 days United States 19 Yasutaro Koide 13 March 1903 19 January 2016 7004412200000000000 ♠ 112 years, 312 days Japan 20 John Evans 19 August 1877 10 June 1990 112 years, 295 days United Kingdom 21 Francisco Núñez Olivera 13 December 1904 Living 7004411870000000000 ♠ 112 years, 279 days Spain 22 George Francis 6 June 1896 27 December 2008 112 years, 204 days United States 23 Denzo Ishizaki 20 October 1886 29 April 1999 112 years, 191 days Japan 24 Josep Armengol 23 July 1881 20 January 1994 112 years, 181 days Spain 25 Giovanni Frau 29 December 1890 19 June 2003 112 years, 172 days Italy 26 John Painter 20 September 1888 1 March 2001 112 years, 162 days United States 27 Masamitsu Yoshida 30 May 1904 29 October 2016 112 years, 152 days Japan 28 Sakari Momoi 5 February 1903 5 July 2015 112 years, 150 days Japan 29 Alphaeus Philemon Cole 12 July 1876 25 November 1988 112 years, 136 days United States 30 Augusto Moreira 6 October 1896 13 February 2009 112 years, 130 days Portugal 31 George Johnson 1 May 1894 30 August 2006 112 years, 121 days United States 32 Salustiano Sanchez 8 June 1901 13 September 2013 112 years, 97 days United States 33 Gengan Tonaki 30 October 1884 24 January 1997 112 years, 86 days Japan 34 Masazou Nonaka 25 July 1905 Living 7004409630000000000 ♠ 112 years, 55 days Japan 35 Tadanosuke Hashimoto 27 April 1891 31 May 2003 112 years, 34 days Japan 36 Kumekichi Tani 20 April 1891 12 May 2003 112 years, 22 days Japan 37 James Wiggins 15 October 1879 16 October 1991 112 years, 1 day United States 38 Arturo Licata 2 May 1902 24 April 2014 111 years, 357 days Italy 39 Gustav Gerneth ( de ) 15 October 1905 Living 7004408810000000000 ♠ 111 years, 338 days Germany 40 Walter H.
