I like the average vote of 5'4.92"! Also it can be rounded to the 5'5" offered by our Rob!

Sorry, Rob - I don't know why I called you "Glenn"! :-/
Editor Rob
just as long as you don't think I'm 5ft 6 and 5/8ths, it's no problem Bilbo!
BilboBaggins said on 5/Nov/16
She looks closer to 5' 4" to me. Where did you get the 5' 5.5" height estimate from, Glenn?
Editor Rob
not sure as low as that, although 5ft 5 is something she can look at most.
Arch Stanton said on 15/Oct/16
Really fancied her back in the day, smoking hot, but I think she's had too much surgery these days! A bit over 5 ft 5 I think.

If he's 5'-8" then he's gotta be wearing shoes with soles that are about 4" thick.

Bloomberg was on Jimmy Fallon show recently (13dec2013), and the top of his head is equal with Fallon's ear lobes. Jimmy is 5'10". Ralph Feinnes was another guest who is 5'11", and was only a smidge taller than Jimmy (confirming Fallon's height).
Distance from earlobe to top of head on any healthy adult is no less than 4" (usually 5-6").
Thus Bloomberg is 5'6" or less.
He most likely was an inch or so taller in his youth (maybe up to 5'71/2") since every human "shrinks" an inch or two in later decades. Obviously he's NOT over 5'6".

He most likely was an inch or so taller in his youth (maybe up to 5'71/2") since nearly every human "shrinks" an inch or two in later decades of life. Obviously he's NOT over 5'6".

Again and again I keep hearing this nonsense that "black people can't swim", supposedly as "their bones are too heavy"!
Garbage! Traci got her role on Baywatch largely because she was a swimming champion!
BTW, Matthew Syed wrote a book on the myths about sporting talent, in which he challenges the drivel about black people not being good swimmers.

Glenn- What was Sharpton like? I know he isn't exactly liked by many people.
someone said on 15/Feb/08
the guy is 5' 6'' for sure, he has a picture with my dad and he looks exactly the same height, my father's 5' 6''
glenn said on 5/Feb/08
well i saw them in person plenty of times.not one encounter.in fact i have a photo somewhere with my arms around sharpton and 5-6 james brown.my pics are proof to what i say.and others here will agree.its the reverse.whatever heights they are,sharpton is taller.even if its only an inch.and im wrong.he is still taller.look at pics of him marching.especially with 6-3 jesse jackson.hell,sharpton can look 5-10 sometimes.
Eric said on 5/Feb/08
I'm not talking about your pics. I saw them both in person and Sharpton is about 5'7 and Bloomberg is about 5'8 and a half.
glenn said on 4/Feb/08
thats not what my pics show on top and thats completely wrong.sharpton is around the 5-9 mark and even if bloomberg was 5-7 and not 5-6 and sharpton 5-8,that still makes you wrong.i read a 5-10 claim for bloomberg and i see him at 5-6.
Eric said on 3/Feb/08
I've seen them both and I can guarantee you that Sharpton is definitely shorter than Bloomberg.
glenn said on 1/Feb/08
your blind eric.
Eric said on 31/Jan/08
I've seen Bloomberg in person and I'll guarantee you that he's not 5'6. Bloomberg may not be quite 5'10 as he claims, but 5'9 is easily believable. 5 foot 6 inches tall? I'm a legitimate 5'6 and if someone called me 5'2 because of the difference in my height and Bloomberg's, I'd clock him.
Editor Rob
he ain't really claiming 5ft 10, see the 1-line at top, he himself called 5ft 7 as his height, see washington post.
Reminidi said on 1/Sep/07
Glavine is more like 6 ft even, tops, rather than 6 ft 1 (I should know, no offence, I'm from Atlanta, lol!) He was always the shortest of the "3 Omigos" (Glavine, Maddox, Smolz) Your right, Wright is not too tall (lol)
glenn said on 14/Aug/07
did i say sharpton was 5-10? not being snotty,but i thought i said 5-9.
antron said on 13/Aug/07
al sharpton is 5-10 Glenn, really? here is a pic of him with Al Franken (5-6):

looks more 5-8ish

Here's a pic with Bloomberg and baseball player Tom Glavine. Tom Glavine is listed at 6"1. Maybe he's shorter than that. If Mike is 5'6", then Glavine is about 5"11-6". Glavine is taller than a bunch of guys on the Mets team (Ie- David Wright)
richinkle said on 10/Jul/07
I work for the City of NY and have met Bloomberg a number of times. There are also pictures of him standing next to half the people in my office. He appears about 5'-7" to me, and next to my coworkers whose heights I'm pretty sure about.
Franco said on 4/Jul/07
haha they all look 5'6 to 5'7 with the exception of Perot which looks 5'5ish
glenn looks particularly in good posture there.
EJ said on 23/Jun/07
Jesse Jackson is 6'3" according to his mugshot.
I've heard Perot described as 5'5" and 5'7".
I remember that back in 2002 Bloomberg used to claim to be 5'10". Don't know if that was a joke or not.
3 said on 22/Jun/07
none of these guys are taller than 5-8 Glenn
glenn said on 21/Jun/07
james to my eyes was 5-6.hard to gauge cause he was wore big heels.
Anonymous Rex said on 20/Jun/07
I'd say 5-4 for JB
leonari said on 17/Jun/07
Anonymous Rex: So you think James Brown was taller than 5'6" or what?????
MD said on 16/Jun/07
The only thing I've ever seen Sharpton described as (in the mainstream media that tends to boosts heights, no less) was 5'8" or 5'9". At least, that's what he was given when he was running for president in 2004 when the media sometimes discussed what height meant to the presidency.
Anonymous Rex said on 15/Jun/07
Now I know there's NO WAY James Brown was 5-6. Lots of photos of Sharpton and Brown camde out around the time JB passed away. I was assuming Sharton was at least 5-10 or 5-11!
antron said on 14/Jun/07
ill take your word for it on a 5'10" Sharpton, Glenn.
glenn said on 14/Jun/07
perot is 5-4.thanks d-ray.the 3 stooges.lol.never met rose.
TheJerk said on 13/Jun/07
I thought Perot was shorter than this, what would you say he is Glenn 5-5.5?
D. Ray Morton said on 13/Jun/07
Great shots! I could say something about the Three Stooges (Sharpton would be Curly), but I won't.
Glenn have you met Charlie Rose?
EJ said on 13/Jun/07
Why do Sharpton and Perot not have their own pages on this site?
glenn said on 13/Jun/07
jesse i read was 6-3.shapton is taller than me.
antron said on 13/Jun/07
Yeah Chris, Jesse Jackson is well over 6 feet, Sharpton is well under (5'8" to my eyes). Bloomberg looks 5'6.5 (169cm)at the absolute tallest to me. I am 5'7" and my Dad is 5'8" and there is not as big a gap between our heights as between Glenn and Michael in that picture, Glenn is leaning even.
glenn said on 13/Jun/07
no way 5-7.then im 5-9.
richinkle said on 12/Jun/07
I've met Bloomberg a number of times, and have had my picture taken with him on a few occasions as well. He is just about 5'-7". 5'-6" seems too short for him.
Chris said on 12/Jun/07
Bloomberg looks 5'6.5" to 5'7" from the photo. I always thought Al Sharpton was huge, but maybe that's Jesse Jackson?
Derek said on 12/Jun/07
5'6" is correct for Bloomberg. He is an inch shorter than my dad's friend, who is 5'7".
glenn said on 12/Jun/07
bloomberg is 5-6,sharpton is 5-9.
Anonymous said on 12/Jun/07
So, Glenn, Sharpton is 5'7"? He looks an inch shorter than you. I always thought he was slightly under average.
