For seven decades, Guinness World Records has been the global authority on record-breaking feats, celebrating human and animal achievements that push the boundaries of possibility. Since its inception in 1955, the organization has documented astonishing records, from the fastest, tallest, and strongest to the most bizarre and unexpected.

The Evolution of Guinness World Records
The idea for Guinness World Records was born when Sir Hugh Beaver, managing director of the Guinness Brewery, debated the fastest game bird in Europe. Realizing there was no definitive source for such facts, he launched the first edition of the Guinness Book of Records in 1955. The book quickly became a bestseller, evolving into a global phenomenon with editions in multiple languages and an ever-expanding database of records.

Today, Guinness World Records is more than just a book—it’s a multimedia brand, hosting live events, TV shows, and digital content that inspire millions worldwide.
