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 (1345 lbs), 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 kg, more than half his body weight.[1]
