| Sultan Kösen, 2.47 cm - (8 ft 1 in). |
Sultan Kösen was born and raised near Mardin,
Turkey, Kösen's growth as a child was normal
until the age of ten when his growth accelerated
rapidly. A pituitary tumour was diagnosed and his
growth continued until the tumour was removed in
2008.
Kösen lives with his parents, three brothers
and sister, who are all normal sized. He was unable
to complete his schooling because of his height
and works part-time as a farmer. Despite his height
he claims to enjoy a normal lifestyle and enjoys
playing computer games with his friends. He describes
the advantages of being tall as seeing from great
distance, being able to help out his family with
domestic jobs such as changing light bulbs and hanging
curtains. He lists disadvantages as not being able
to find clothes or shoes that fit or finding it
extremely hard to fit into a regular size car...
