Wealth is a double edged sword. On the positive you probably live in a lower crime area, get medical and dental care, have enough to eat, and have clean drinking water. I’d rather be wealthy.

But as we see with the kids of the rich, having access to all you want and the money and time to self indulge you tend to self destruct.

There’s also a theory that she was a fraud. A daughter assumed her identity to keep getting her pension and apartment.

Calment didn’t smoke for most of her life, but picked up the habit at around age 112 while living in a nursing home.

I don’t see any mention in the luck of the draw in genes.

How long did her grandparents live I wonder.

“She was discovering this fascinating world at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century.”

Talk about being born at the right time. Imagine being a wealthy young person during the fin de siecle as they call it, and being able to live it up and soak it in. If I had a time machine, that would be one of my first stops.

Started smoking at age 112 and didn’t live but another 10 years.

It’s true. Cigarettes will kill you! Probably could have made it to 140

Darn, I had hoped to see that she had a snort of single malt each and every evening. ;-)

She certainly had an interesting younger life: WWI, Russian Revolution, Spanish Civil War, WWII, Cold War.

***Jeanne Calment, a French woman, achieved an incredible feat of living to age 122, thus earning the honor of being the world’s oldest person on record***

My guess is that they never heard of Methuselah!
