How much does the world's fattest man weigh?

Interesting fact: Although being overweight can lead to a number of health-related problems, the heaviest person in the world has become a popular media personality largely due to his weight.

The heaviest man in history, recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records, is John Brower Minnock from the USA. At the peak of his weight he reached 635kg.

John Minnock was born in 1941 and was obese from childhood. By the age of 12 he weighed over 130kg and by the age of 22 he weighed over 400kg. Because of his enormous weight, he was forced to spend the last years of his life in hospital. Weighing a person of this weight presents a significant challenge because standard medical equipment is not designed to handle such a load. However, it is important for medical monitoring and assessment of the patient's health.
