Hello how may I help you? I'd like help finding out a world record. I can help with that. What do you need to know? Who was the oldest person ever? The oldest person ever was Jeanne Calment. What was her age? She was 122 years at the time of her death. Seems kind of strange, I thought men had longer life expectancy? She outlived her husband and siblings actually. Hope this helps. Seems like a man would have been the oldest? Jeanne Calment was the oldest and she was a woman. Hope this helps
