Hello how may I help you? I want to know some information of the world records. That's what I know about! What would you like to know? Who is the tallest person in the world? Do you mean the tallest living person or the tallest person of all time? The tallest person of all time. The tallest person of all time is Tiny McShort. He was 7 foot and 11 inches Could you also tell me the tallest living person? The tallest person who is currently living is Joe Shmoe. He is 7 foot and 10.5 inches Wow that's pretty close. Thanks for the info. You're welcome!
