Living Testaments. The oldest known person in the world died at 118, far exceeding the United Nation's world life expectancy of 72.98 years. But living past 100 isn't the rarity it once was.
A centenarian is a person who has reached the age of 100. Because life expectancies at birth worldwide are well below 100, the term is invariably associated with longevity.The United Nations estimated that there were 316,600 living centenarians worldwide in 2012, [1] and 573,000 in 2020, almost quadruple the 2000 estimate of 151,000.
About 90,000 of those payments, less than 0.2%, went to people aged 99 or older. That’s far below the millions Trump and Musk warned about. It’s also lower than the number of centenarians ...
According to data from the Population Division of the United Nations, there were 89,739 living centenarians in the U.S. in 2021—about two times more than the number of people in the 100+ crowd ...
SSA data shows one out of every four 65-year-olds today will live past the age of 90, while one out of 10 will live past 95. Indeed, 60% of baby boomers are more worried about outliving their savings than dying. [156] Rising life expectancy may result in reductions in social security benefits, devaluing private and public pension programs.

[12] These findings, from the New England Centenarian Study in Boston, suggest that the sibling of a centenarian is four times more likely to live past 90 than the general ...
The Gerontology Research Group maintains a top 30–40 list of oldest verified living people. The researchers estimate, based on a 0.15% to 0.25% survival rate of centenarians until the age of 110, that there should be between 300 and 450 living supercentenarians in the world.
Living to 100 is rare. In 2022, the CDC reported the average life expectancy in the U.S. was 76.1 years old—nearly a quarter-century before the big 1-0-0.. Yet, centenarians are a growing breed ...
