I think there was one who went to 122.
It's likely this old chap was at least 117 anyway, as Indonesian records began in 1900 and he was supposedly alive then. The fact that he's outlived all 10 his offspring from an area of Indonesia well known for extreme longevity suggests he lived an extraordinary long time too. I wouldn't be so hasty as to dismiss this as BS

Emma Morano died on April 15th at age 117, the oldest person on record
146 seems very unlikely
Jeanne Calment, a french woman, died in 1997 aged 122 years 164 days and verified by all required modern-day records. Putting aside Biblical accounts, she was the oldest person who ever lived.
I think you've been googling 'world's oldest person'. Emma Morano was the world's oldest person at the time she died (or to be more accurate, just before she died!!!).

146, ha?
Did she (I presume it was she, coz no man can survive nagging longer than 90 years until divorced and deaf) had ugly feet, no teeth and no birth certificate, and was her advice for longevity: 1 potato brandy before every meal which consisted of 3 raw eggs?
Well, in that case good riddance and thank you very much.
