Description: Robert Wadlow was born on February 22, 1918, and he grew to an astonishing height of 8 feet 11.1 inches (272 cm) before his untimely death in 1940 at the age of 22. His remarkable height was due to a condition known as gigantism, which results from an overactive pituitary gland. There are various statues and memorials dedicated to Robert Wadlow, but none of them are officially recognized as the "World's Tallest Man" statue. These statues serve as tributes to his life and legacy, commemorating his extraordinary height and the impact he had during his short life.
