Well, they keep dying off, so the next oldest takes his/her place.

The oldest documented living person is 114-year-old Besse Cooper of Georgia, United States, who was born on 26 August 1896. The oldest living man since the death of British WW1 veteran Henry Allingham on 18 July 2009 is 114-year-old Walter Breuning, of the United States, who was born on 21 September 1896. There have been many accounts of people living to great ages in China, but there is no documentation to support the claims. Also it has been recently discovered that families hadn't reported deaths of family members so that they could keep living in their houses and claiming their pensions. The longest documented lifespan ever is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875–1997), who died at age 122 years, 164 days. She met Vincent van Gogh at age 12 or 13. Her life was documented in the records of her native city of Arles beyond reasonable question. More evidence for the Calment case has been produced than for any other supercentenarian case, which makes her case a standard among the oldest people recordholders. The oldest undisputed male is Christian Mortensen, who lived to be 115 years, 252 days.
