Khagendra Thapa Magar is the world’s smallest person. You won’t find him in any record books at the moment because officials believe that the 14-year-old isn’t done growing yet. He is currently only 20 inches tall and weighs 10 lbs.

His website, www.khagendratma.org, has stopped working and it seems as if some body forgot to renew it. Khagendra Thapa Magar can be found touring all around Nepal. His parents show him off to the public and collect money from the shows. They claim that all the proceeds go to Khagendra’s education fund, however, he was withdrawn from school because other students teased him.
