#3 Tokyo Sky Tree in Japan

#1 Methuselah with 969 years
#2 Jeanne Calment, 122 years
#3 Sarah Knauss, 119 years

I also have to mention Shigechiyo Izumi with 105 years (1881-1986)
At first it was claimed that he was born in 1865, putting him second to Jeanne Calment. But in 1987 the Department of Epidemiology at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology reported that Izumi actually was 105 years old.
