Khalid bin Mohsen Shaari (born 1991) is a Saudi Arabian man who in August 2013 was found to be the heaviest person on the planet and the second-heaviest person in recorded history at 610 kg (1,340 lb), behind Jon Brower Minnoch. He also had a BMI of 204, the highest ever recorded. He was ordered by King Abdullah to be transferred from his home, which he had been unable to leave for over 2 years, to the country's capital, Riyadh, to receive treatment. As a result of this, in a mere six months, he managed to lose a total of 320 kilograms (710 lb), more than half his body weight.
