Sultan Kösen is a Turkish farmer who holds the Guinness World Record for tallest living male at 2.51 m (8 ft 3 in).His growth has resulted from a tumour affecting his pituitary gland. His stature is such that he must use crutches in order to walk. Kösen lives with his parents, three brothers and sister, who are all of normal height. He was unable to complete his schooling because of his height and his job as a part-time farmer.
