It’s hard to believe it, but these five people were all born in the 1800s. Before cars were made readily available, before women had a right to vote, and before television was even a thing…these women were all alive and kicking!

To add to these women’s incredible feat, the life expectancy for people in the U.S., when these ladies were born, was just around 60 years old! Take that, expectations! 

Clearly these amazing women are doing something right! Now between 115 and 116 years old, the 5 oldest people in the world are letting us in on their advice for living a long…a very, very long…life!
