Yao Defen (China)
Yao Defen’s height was 7’8” (2.34 m), which granted her the official status of the tallest woman in the world. Yao was born in a poor Chinese family, and started off as a normal-sized kid, right until she was consuming three times more food than the rest of the kids. By eleven she reached 6’2” (1.88 m), which is about my height, by the way. Like in most of these giants, her incredible height was caused by a tumor in her pituitary gland. Yao managed to live a more or less happy life and died at the age of 40, in 2012.
Margo Dydek (Poland)
Margo Dydek was a famous Polish basketball player, measuring 7’2” (2.18 m) tall. Dydek is currently the tallest professional female basketball player in history. Sadly she suffered a heart attack in 2011 and died, leaving her husband and two sons on their own in Brisbane, Australia.

Uliana Semionova (Soviet Union)
Uliana Semionova – a near-legendary Soviet-Latvian basketball player of the 70s and 80s, won multiple championships in the Soviet Union and Europe, as well as gold medals for USSR in 1976 and 1980 Olympics. At 6’11” in (2.10 m) Uliana is, of course, not the tallest female basketball player, but… she did have the biggest shoe size – 21 (US) / 58 (EU)!

Till August of 2016, Malee Duangdee was the tallest woman in Thailand, and the 2nd tallest woman in all of Asia. Her height was 6’10” (2.08 m), and unfortunately for her, the taller you are the more chances you have to get a heart attack.

Alicia Jay (United States)
Hey, look, it’s not yet another b-ball player! Alicia Jay, 6’6” in (1.98m) tall, is a famous fashion blogger, also known as the world’s tallest virgin. She says that dating has been difficult because of her height, which should not be a surprise, and that she is still waiting for the right guy. I’d say in a couple of years her story could become a Disney movie.

Heather Greene (United States)
Believe it or not, Heather Greene’s 6’5” in (1.96 m) height hasn’t changed since she was 15! Can you imagine how hard it must have been for her in high school?

Rumeysa Gelgi (Turkey)
Doctors diagnosed Rumeysa with a rare disorder known as Weaver Syndrome, which causes rapid growth. And now she is known as the tallest teenager in the world at 7 feet (2.13 m).

Elisany Silva (Brazil)
Meet a 18-year old Brazilian model – Elisany Silva, measuring 6’9” (2.06 m) tall. Although she’s still a teen, she’s already planning her wedding and, of course, having kids.
