As of my last update, the oldest known person with progeria was Sam Berns, who lived to be 17 years old before passing away in 2014. Progeria, a rare genetic disorder characterized by accelerated aging, typically leads to a significantly shortened lifespan, with most individuals not living past their teenage years. Sam became well-known for his positive outlook on life and was featured in a documentary titled "Life According to Sam."
