Chandra Bahadur Dangi, born in 1939 in the Salyan District of Nepal, left behind an extraordinary legacy as the shortest man in recorded history. Despite his petite stature of only 54.6 cm (21.5 inches), his impact on the world was immeasurable. Known for his charismatic personality and effervescent spirit, Dangi's net worth is estimated to range between $100,000 to $1 million in 2024. Throughout his life, he gained prominence as a cultural ambassador, captivating audiences globally with his incredible story. With his passing in 2015, the world lost a true icon, but Dangi's legacy will forever remain an inspiration for generations to come.
Afflicted with primordial dwarfism, Dangi broke the world record for shortest man to have ever lived. He reached an adult height of only one foot and 9.5 inches.
Before becoming internationally famous for his short stature, he led a quiet existence as a craftsman and farmer.
In late 2014, he made the acquaintance of the tallest man in the world, Sultan Kosen, who at eight feet and three inches tall, towered over Dangi.
A native of Kalimati, Nepal, he spent his adult life living with his nephews in a Nepalese village.
He and the shortest woman in the world, Jyoti Amge of India, were photographed together for the 2013 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
