What`s the probability that......?

[Guest the authority]

Maybe it`s a thought unique to me, but I was just wondering if anyone else had considered a situation in which the oldest person alive is also a famous person - I mean, famous in their own right and not just because they`re the oldest person alive. What probability is there that a famous person could live long enough to be the oldest person on the planet ? I mean, I gather that Brooke Astor is the oldest living celebrity and she is 103 - how much longer would she have to live to also become the oldest person alive ?

Off hand, I can only think of the Queen Mum and Bob Hope who have lived to the age of 100. I`m guessing the oldest person alive is usually about 110 or so - so could there be a realistic chance that, one day, a famous person could actually achieve this feat ? Again, it might just be me, but somehow I`ve always wanted this to happen................

 

Cheers,

First off from what i know the oldest living person is around

120 years old.

 

You may be right for as you say Brooke Astor being the

oldest celebrity living at age 103,but as far as her being the

oldest person on the planet and being a celebrity for what

she has done in her life goes...I surely doubt it.

 

Brooke Astor would have to live probobly untill she is atleast

113 years old. Also i may be wrong because the human lifespan

has exspanded quite a bit these days and by the time Brooke is

atleast 113, the oldest living person could be old as between

maybe 115 and 125.

 

Could a famous person ever be the oldest living person

on earth? I guess there has to be some percentage of

a chance. Though if you were to ask me i coulden't tell

you.

It could - I suppose - be engineered. For example, if you sampled the words of the oldest person into a rap record, persuaded them to pose naked for a top shelf magazine etc.

A man in the Caribbean claims to have been born in 1880, making him 125 years old, although this claim has not been varified.

The way my eyes see it if it's not verified it's nothing

more then a fraud.

I am 129 but it can't be verified

Thank you. I put it down to my clean-living lifestyle.
