“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential."
― Barack Obama
The 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama is a tall man - not very tall of course, but tall enough to look a bit taller than people around him most of the time. Perhaps his good posture helps too in this regard. Anyway, in 2016 in the White House medical, he was measured at a stately 6'1.5" - with what we fear shoes still on.
After comparing Mr. Obama to people like Donald Trump (around 6'1" now but 6'2" in his youth), Elon Musk (6'1.5"), his own wife, Michelle Obama (5'11"), and many others we think his physical was definitely done with shoes still on - with around half an inch of the sole of the said shoe. Which makes Mr. Obama the 10th tallest POTUS.

Data painstakingly extracted more or less from Wikipedia and some other sources. Expect up to half an inch of discrepancy from real life. All heights are supposed to belong to relatively young people of the urban areas, so they may come out slightly over the real average height.
