RAF442: Living to 100 and Beyond 2026 - 10 Oldest People Ever

And now it's time for the perennial favorite top 10 list of the oldest people ever. Living to be 100 is still very rare. According to World Population Review, in 2025, there were an estimated 573,000 to 630,000 centenarians worldwide, though estimates vary wildly, I can tell you. A centenarian is someone who is over 100 years old. The breakdown by country is interesting. Japan has the most, with 123,330. The U.S. is second, with far fewer, 73,629. Then China and India. It's interesting because these are absolute numbers, not per-capita numbers. You'd think China and India would be up there, and Japan is tiny in comparison.
