Ever wondered how tall world leaders are? Well, you're in for a treat! We've
got the lowdown on their high-ups, and some of them are real giants in more
ways than one.
The Big Shots:
- Aleksandar Vucic: He's the head honcho in Serbia,
and he's got a height that matches his status at 199 cm (that's a whopping 6
feet 6 inches)! Looks like he's literally head and shoulders above the rest.
- Charles de Gaulle and
Milo Đukanović. These guys tied for second place at 196 cm (that's
6 feet 5 inches). Imagine a conversation between them - "You're tall." "No,
you're tall!"
The Six-Foot Club:
- Donald Trump and Cuba's Fidel Castro:
They're both 190 cm (6 feet 3 inches). Maybe that's the secret to their
charisma – it's all about the height.
- Jacques Chirac and Bashar al-Assad: Yep, you
guessed it, they're 189 cm (6 feet 2 inches). Must be something in the French
water.
Around 6 Feet:
- Imran Khan, Iraq's Saddam Hussein, and
Justin Trudeau: These folks are 188 cm (6 feet 2 inches). It's like a
tall leader party.
- Barack Obama: He's at 185 cm (6 feet 1 inch). He's not
the tallest, but he's got the charm.
The Six-Foot-And-Under Group:
- Recep Erdogan, Jair Bolsonaro, and
Mohammed Salman: They're at 185 cm (6 feet 0 inches). They probably
have to look up to the taller leaders.
Shorter in Stature:
- China's Xi Jinping and Great Britain's
Boris Johnson: They're both 175 cm (5 feet 9 inches). They say great
things come in small packages.
- Viktor Orban and France's Emmanuel Macron: They're 174 cm (5 feet 8 inches). They might need a little boost to see
eye-to-eye with taller leaders.
- Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte:
Yep, you read that right – they were both 173 cm (5 feet 8 inches). Who knew
history's powerhouses weren't vertically blessed?
The 5-Foot-7 Group:
- India's Narendra Modi, Russia's
Vladimir Putin, Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, and United
Kingdom's Rishi Sunak: These guys are all at 170 cm (5 feet 7
inches). They might need a step stool for some group photos.
The 5-Foot-6 Inch Category:
- Brazil's Lula da Silva** and Germany's Angela Merkel: They both stand at 168 cm (5 feet 6 inches). When they're together, it's
like a mini-meeting.
Shortest Among Leaders:
- Now, here's the fun part:Mexico's Benito Juarez takes the cake for being the shortest leader at just 137 cm (4 feet 6
inches). He probably had to stand on a chair to give speeches!
