Ignacio Cubilla Banos, 111 Year-old Man

Banos, a former sugar factory worker, took some celebratory puffs on a Cuban cigar and showed off a wad of cash a son who lives in Miami had sent as a present before digging into a huge cake. Born in 1900, Banos only missed seeing twelve days of the 1900s. Banos' age means he's already lived half a life longer than his average countryman.
According to the World Health Organization, the life expectancy for a male born in Cuba today is 76. But Mr Banos lags behind the world's oldest man, American Walter Breuning, by three-and-a-half years. Breuning is 114.
The longest unambiguously documented lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875–1997), who died at age 122 years, 164 days. She met Vincent van Gogh at age 12 or 13. This led to her being noticed by the media in 1985, at age 110. Subsequent investigation found that her life was documented in the records of her native city of Arles beyond reasonable question. More evidence for the Calment case has been produced than for any other supercentenarian case, which makes her case a standard among the oldest people recordholders. This is contrasted with the now-disputed claim of age 120 for the oldest man ever, Shigechiyo Izumi. While this case is still recognized by Guinness World Records, his case is disputed by gerontologist Toshihisa Matsuzaki. The oldest undisputed male is Christian Mortensen, who lived to be 115 years, 252 days.
