US EditionWorld's Oldest Man Marks 113th Birthday and Shares Secret to Longevity
João Marinho Neto, the last surviving man born in 1912, ranks as the 26th oldest man ever and credits his longevity to family and a wholesome lifestyle.
- On Sunday, October 5, João Marinho Neto turned 113 and celebrated with a grand party organised by his loved ones, Guinness World Records noted.
- Born in Maranguape, Ceará, Brazil on October 5, 1912, Neto began working on his family farm by age four, tending cattle and harvesting fruit, Guinness reported.
- Family members say Neto has six of his eight children living, along with 22 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren, while granddaughter Valéria Marinho recalled his birthday greetings to Ethel Caterham.
- Guinness World Records confirmed Neto's status in November 2024 after UK’s John Tinniswood died, recording him as 112 years 52 days old and the world’s oldest man.
- Neto told Guinness that his longevity comes from keeping loved ones close and good company, and LongeviQuest quoted his line, `There are no men older than me, just women!`.
